If you look at the alerts, you will see a dot bottom right of each. Unread shows a black dot, once read it changes to white / transparent.Hi jymbee, thanks for your help. I'm still learning this new site, so I'm not sure if I'm following. When I log in, I see an icon that looks like a bell. When I click on it, I get an alert for post that I've started and have gotten a response to, i.e. this one that I started and then an alert that you responded. Or, to any that I responded to, and that others have new responses to as well. I was wondering if I could delete just the alert, (but not the post), so I would know I've read the alerts, consequently the posts. (I know, DH takes a deep sigh too )
Note that seems that you will get separate alerts for a post if someone "likes" your comment and then someone adds to the conversation. If that happens, once you go into the thread, all the black dots change.
