    My Alerts box isn't working because when i went on to one of my threads it had about a whole page of comments that i haven't got Alerts for because I haven't got any Alerts from my Alerts box in about a week

    I went into my inbox box and then some Alerts showed up but it only showed two Alerts

    What settings do you have set for your alerts?

    Also, you'll only get an alert for the first reply to a thread. If you haven't gone to the thread and you miss or ignore that alert, you won't get another unless you're quoted in the thread.

    Mmhm, as shown in the gif above, under your name at the top, is "Alert Preferences". You'll want to make sure that the ones you want are still selected.

    You should also make sure that you're still following the thread. At the top of the thread you'll find a button that either says "Watch Thread" or "Unwatch Thread". If it says the first one, then you've somehow accidentally stopped following the thread and won't get any alerts from it. :)

    And as I said earlier, you only get one alert from the last time you've visited. So to make sure that you continue to get alerts from a thread, you have to go to the thread, every time you get an alert that there was a comment.
