The last alert email I got was June 6th 6pm (spain time) and the OP was 2 hours later, so I thought post hoc...
Thank you!

I’m experiencing an inconsequential, but rather odd, issue in Safari on my iPad. I have the pref set to FT Desktop NG, but whenever I open FlyerTalk in a new window, I initially see the Mobile One skin. When I navigate to another page on the site, that page (and subsequent ones) appear in the Desktop skin.
As I wrote, it’s ultimately inconsequential but it may provide a clue as to the root cause of other strange behaviors.

Keyword alerts have been turned on: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/vend..._keyword_alert
I actually wonder if you could add your own username to the alerts and get notifications when someone quotes you that way

I'm experiencing a similar issue for the 1st time. Normally when I come to FT forum, if I have new quotes or likes, there's a prominent note about that in the upper right. Now nothing appears, and I only found out about new quotes by going to the individual threads. Still haven't recovered the link to see all my likes.
Anyway to fix this?

Update: Keyword alerts do seem to work if your keyword is your username. You can set an email alert for hourly, daily, or weekly. An interesting kludge.

I can personally confirm that a Tracked Keyword Alert (Daily) also works to report quotes of a username which includes a space in the middle. 
However, using Android on my cell phone, I cannot see a way to delete this Private Message (PM), unlike all other previous PMs.
Does this inability to delete the tracking reports mean they could fill up my PM Inbox such that I won't be able to send any more PMs?
To be safer I have change my Tracked Keyword Alert from Daily to Weekly.

I suppose, to be really safe, I could change the notification method from PM to e-mail, if we cannot find a method to delete the PMs such that they don't fill up my PM Inbox.

To clarify, that works if you teach people to use IBJoel style mentions in their reply - a simple traditional quote doesnt count as a mention.
For what its worth, I have not received a single notification for notquiteaff style mentions since the quote notification feature was removed. Definitely not a workaround.
