  • Hi there Guest! This message is to let you know that leadership is aware there is an error in the posting of badges - that the image links themselves are broken. Rei is working to move the items to a different img host, but it may take a little while for the transition to be complete.

Hello, I think I ran into something. I was busy for the last couple of weeks and over that time I noticed I had one single message I never responded to, and when I came to log back in, I noticed my direct messages and notifications pings were gone. They were wiped clean! Is there a way to restore this message so I may answer it and talk to this person?

At the top of the screen there's a notifications bar. It's right next to the username and it looks like mail and the bell. When I came to click onto these they read "No new alerts" or something like that. Do they clear themselves over time? Do messages and notifications expire?
 
Hi there SomethingNew!

I am a little confused by your question, as your private message inbox should become available by clicking 'show all', item.

Additionally - there is always an option to look at the alerts history for your account, but to save on space/memory, the site only keeps a live record for 4 days - you can open the alert history or inbox by selecting the 'show all' option at the bottom of both dropdowns.

There is a sample at the bottom of the alerts drop down.
