deal alert without keyword

I am no longer able to add a deal alert without a keyword. I have in my list one that has no keyword that I had been able to add some years back. Thanks.

I just added on as a test, seems to work fine for me

Thanks for your response.

But I am still not able to add a deal alert for a specific forum without keyword.

This is the error message I see:

Wrong keyword phrase length. Acceptable keyword phrase length should be larger than or equal to 2 characters and smaller than or equal to 128 characters. The length of keyword phrase you attempted to add was 0 character(s). Please go back and try again. If you believe you are getting this message in error, contact us.

To add a deal alert without using a keyword, you need to set the rating for at least 2 thumbs up or higher. You can also set it to just Front Page deals without needing a keyword.

Wow, thank you. I tried everything right now, min 1/2 star, 1 star, etc etc but only the 2 star worked. That seems like a bug.

Also I never get deal alerts till a few hours after the post even though I have set it to email/immediately.

Any suggestions would be appreciated

It's not a bug. Deal alerts without a keyword requires a rating with 2+ thumbs.
