How long do alerts remain before being automatically cleared?

[Paul B]

I had about 15 alerts stacked up and when viewing my http://xenforo.com/community/watch/threads page, I saw the red indicator just disappear without me mousing over or viewing the alerts.

When and how often are unread alerts cleared?

 

[Onimua]

10 minutes is the current setting I believe.

EDIT: You didn't click on Alerts or click Your Account?

 

[Paul B]

So every 10 minutes all unread alerts are cleared?

 

[Onimua]

If you merely clicked Your Accounts, all your alerts are marked read (although the marker indicating they're new remains for 10 minutes).

Hovering over the alerts tab removes the unread status.

Unread alerts I think is currently Never....

Read alerts I think it was said was a week and they are then cleared...

Did you click Your Account at all? That also marks your Alerts as read.

It was unread alerts - I think I must have clicked on Your Account as Onimua said and the alert icon was just slow in clearing hence why I watched it disappear
