Is anyone else having problems with the alerts? I had about 20 terms in last week, then decided that was just way too many. (40+ a day) I now just have two (orleans,louisiana) and I'm still getting close to 40 a day - and none mention either of these two terms.

You personally still have some sections selected so you will get all the posts from those sections as well as anything that matches your keywords.

One note - the keywords don't match on the state field, in case you were trying to do that.

Doh! I didn't understand the little explanation until just now. :) So if I unselect the topics in the first part, and leave my keywords in the second - that's what I'm looking to do. Ok, makes sense now. Thanks!

I added some code into the Forums, no serious adjustment to the Forums code was necessary, other than the link in the header.
