I got all those alerts, from this thread, but there have been updates to other threads (that I have seen on "What's New") that I got no alerts for. It's not a settings issue, I don't think, because it is intermittent.
You will only be alerted once if there is a new reply to a watched thread - if you don't revisit the thread you won't get any further alerts.
Once you visit the thread and read it to the end, the alerts will be re-triggered next time there is a new reply.
You can show all of your recent alerts by selecting Show all ... from the bottom of the drop-down or clicking here: http://www.cyclechat.net/account/alerts
Manually searching the list may reveal the "missing" alerts.

Thanks Shaun
You've been very patient; I know you've explained it a few times.
It's probably the 1st feature you describe, i.e. if you ignore or miss an alert but clear it without visiting the thread then you don't get any more alerts that I am experiencing. I'll try to let you know if I can definitely say I wasn't alerted for something that I should have been.

It's actually very easy to miss them - once you've hovered over the alert link the red box disappears and you can very easily get caught-up in reading the first thread you click on and forget to come back and check the others.
One of the things that can help is the little yellow asterisk for your very latest alerts - you'll notice it at the end of the alert text and it denotes a very recent alert that you might want to check (if you haven't already). It's a great device for helping you see new alerts when you've "cleared" alert list.
Cheers,
Shaun
