Basic Information
The alerts system on this site provides you with a simple way to see what's been happening recently around the site by the way of a simple notification.

There is a simple count of your oustanding unread alerts found within the header of the site. Clicking upon this count will open a dropdown list of your unread alerts from which you can then progress to the alerts listing page if you so desire.

The alerts listing page can be found here and contains a list of all the alerts you've received, both unread and read. You can also delete old alerts that you don't wish to retain from this page.
