I always use the bell system. In my experience (over years, not just now), email notifications seem to be unreliable. Don't know if this is necessarily at the BHF end, but rather mine - possibly when my system has been updated. So I think the bell system is probably the most reliable - well for me at least.

The bell shows answered threads (ones I've participated in) and replies to conversations. The envelope shows replies to private conversations only.

I've never been able to work out why my email alerts start and stop - all randomly, so have never relied on alerts via email.

I have all alerts turned off. PMs show next to the envelope but that is all. When I click on my saved link it takes me straight to new posts. I can see which I have contributed to as my avatar shows on that thread. Then I scroll to see if any new threads might interest me.

The only notification I get is when I look at the bell with the Forum open.
