Mostly harmless.

Does anyone else not receive alerts for watched threads in some instances? I've noticed I stop getting them if I don't visit the thread for a while.

Now, however, the Amazon deals thread has not been generating alerts most of the time, even though I visit it regularly. I just unwatched/watched it, and I'll check if that makes a difference, but this inconsistent alert behaviour is really annoying.
 
Same for me. I've actually made a bunch of posts about the forum being weird and buggy at times.
@renegade is there any way to "reset" account without wiping the content posted from the account? I don't know if its the forum software or the issues are specific to some accounts but if there is a way for this I'd like to try it.

Its a known bug which I have reported a year or two ago and admins are aware about it but yet to act on it!
All of a sudden the notifications stop entirely or notified once a while or after a long time or may be never ever again!
As per my best exp. and understanding, the behavior is once the thread goes past few pages this issue occurs otherwise I get notifications for all threads having very pages. Or if the threads are no longer active then too this issue persists.

I personally don't like to get notifications of threads I reply to cuz then my notifications would be filled up. Only for the ones I create and if I explicitly put a thread to watched list or mentions/quotes etc.
Never had issues with notifications.

This thread was mu own sale thread, wonder why I didn't get notifications. Will see what you have suggested when I get on desktop
 
Changing preferences will not do anything. The point is that notifications that are supposed to be received are not received. Pretty sure this is a XenForo issue.

Can confirm the same. If I go to the thread notifications start again.
