Hmm... I think the problem is with how the site is interpreting "viewed alerts".
I try to check into the Hive every day. But I don't have time to read everyone's threads every day. So I check my alerts page. I see the alerts listed on the page. If any are replies to questions I've asked, posts I've started, or new News items, I check them right away. Meanwhile, there are a whole bunch of additional alerts for threads I follow but did not initiate. These I don't have time to view until the weekend. So what I'm finding is this:
- a bunch of people updated their check-in threads on Monday
- I visited the site on Monday, viewed my alerts page, viewed the threads listed there I check daily, but left the weekend-only threads to visit today
- a bunch more posts were made during the course of the week to the threads I only check on weekends
- today I viewed my alerts page with the plan to visit all of the threads listed there. but alerts for any threads that were updated prior to Wednesday have now been wiped from my list. even if the thread was updated again on Wednesday or later, I still don't have an alert for it.
My preference is for the alerts to expire after I've clicked on them and viewed the thread they refer to. It would be fine (in fact preferable) for them to expire immediately after I've done this.
I don't want my alerts to
ever disappear just because I've seen the alert in my alerts feed (but not actually checked the thread it refers to).
Is this possible?
