After removing the minimum ratings and testing it out it looks like I'm getting all the email alerts. I think I'm getting most of the site notifications but I don't care about site or private...

Yeah you should have also received a site popup notification for the first one if you had that set. But the site popup notifications go poof quickly these days (within 10-30 seconds or so) so you may...

Yeah try the other notification types. If those aren't working either, then something is wrong or the DA system may be calculating 'thumbs' as some other combination score vs just actual thumbs....

I checked my spam folder it's not there. Yes my alerts are set to instant email. I'll enable private and site notifications and see what happens. I use gmail so that shouldn't be an issue I hope.

How long does it take your system to send an alert after a keyword is triggered? I tried the keyword string you gave me and created an alert last night (I also added...

Oh yea I forgot to ask. How would you make a keyword that has an exclusion modifier, but if that post contains other keywords you're looking for then the exclusion is ignored?
