AI Thread Summary
Selecting "show all" in the Alerts drop-down only displays the latest alert, raising questions about whether this is the intended functionality. Alerts are removed after three days, prompting inquiries about the status of conversation notifications in the inbox. The "Live Alert Update" feature, available only to gold members, allows real-time updates of alerts without needing to refresh the page. There is disappointment regarding the limited access to this feature among users. Overall, the discussion highlights concerns about alert visibility and the exclusivity of certain features.

Today when I select "show all" from the drop-down menu "Alerts", I see only the latest alert. Is that the way things are supposed to work?

What about notifications of conversations(inbox)?Are these also removed after 3 days?
 
@Greg Bernhardt, could you please explain something to me:

What does "Live Alert Update" mean? It says that's a feature for gold members.
 
The number of alerts gets updated without reloading the page (or changing to a different page).

Oh. It's sad that not everyone has access to that. Oh well.
