Possible Bug in Alerts

I've been posting a lot of welcome messages and comments and such today...So I wasn't surprised to have lots of alerts at various points. However...One of the alerts says nothing. Is that a glitch? I'm confused.

Any chance of knowing which alert that was..? By PM, perhaps..?
I wouldn't know what it is, since it doesn't tell me? :D

Editing in a spelling error I found on site: If you go to resources and then to images...Titles 2 is spelled Tiltes on accident. (Sorry, my inner editor doesn't like to shut up xD)

I think you're talking about the @ mention alert? I don't remember how it showed exactly, but was it something like just shows the name and a golden/yellow * ?

Pardon me if I'm wrong and talking about the wrong one, I had it today and I honestly didn't know if it was a glitch, or if it was supposed to be like that.

I think if it could be changed to the following then it would be decent enough > Cnal mentioned you here.

No, it didn't do this time. I think that problem occurs only in status comments methinks. @Juneberry

@Xyphien

I added the following via edit!: If it doesn't show in the alerts if I mention someone in a topic then...then why am I mentioning? Or does it show if someone hasn't read the thread yet?

I don't know if this is relevant, but there have been a few 'Introduction' posts that have been deleted, as being akin to 'Spam'. If you'd already joined in to those topics, maybe you're getting an alert for a topic that's been deleted..? That's my best guess, anyway, and, if the topic has, indeed, been deleted, you'll get no further alerts from them. Maybe someone Admin could confirm or deny this..?

...and to reduce search time, here's the culprit, in the 'Categories' list on the left...


Anyone care to correct it, please..?

Yea @Dad3353 is right about the missing alert, it usually only happens when someone deletes a post or un-does there rating. It has happened since I signed up here and it's always associated with a missing post or something of that nature.

As for the spelling mistake @Xyphien when you get the chance do you mind fixing it?

@Xyphien ...

Come along now, Xyphien, old chap, it's been a whole 40 minutes and this spelling error has still not been corrected. Take your time, in an odd moment when you get the chance to have a look at it. No pressure; I'll be back in an hour or so to see how you're progressing.

Thanks in advance, old fruit; meanwhile...
Have a nice day

As @LTN Games and @Dad3353 have said, "empty" alerts are caused by a post being deleted or rating revoked. This normally happens when there is spam or an accidental double post (in statuses). Best thing to do is to ignore it.

Otherwise, just blame @Cnal because reasons. :P <3

Sorry guys, I've been extremely busy with work. Can I have some screenshots please. This'll help me out a LOT more. I'd have to go into the directory and manually change each text to fix the spelling errors. So, a screenshot will allow me to look up exactly where I should be searching. Every single text on this site has a section, and I'd have to go through each one without the picture (perplexed)

I always thought this issue would come when someone likes your comment, post or whatever but takes the rating back. Happened to me often enough xD

The middle one does look weird, does it not? I think it's the @ mention at status comments that makes it so.
