Just look at them here https://ogrforum.com/member-cp/alerts
Rob - I look at them but they don't go away!

Paul,
The red alert number goes away once you look at them. Then, they all go away by themselves after "a while". 
Jim
You must be logged in
Point at your name
click the alert tab
click on one of the alerts,
The red alert button/light will go off.
I don't think he means the red button.
Maybe clear your browser cache, update, log out & log in, etc.

Adriatic - took your advice and logged out and in again - still no luck. How do you clear browser cache?
Thanx,
Paul
When signed in to the forum, hover under your forum name at the top right, then select (click on) NOTIFICATIONS.
Uncheck On-Site ALERTS and the click on UPDATE.
That should remove it for you.

Moonman - no luck - did what you suggested then signed out and in - alerts are still there - I'll wait a few hours then try signing out and in again.

Well, you won't get any more new alerts. As mentioned previously, the alerts indicator would go away when I selected them and read them.

Multiple key press in Windows- using IE11 - CTRL+SHIFT+DELTE
or gear icon - internet options - General tab - delete browsing history - your browser will be very happy after this
No need to clear browser cache. Click red circle, click "Alerts" in the dropdown. Once there, click "Alerts" again on the left side menu. They will go away then.

Thanks Brendan - I tried your suggestion but Alerts are still there - I'll try again later
Paul
Weird. Your response generated an alert and I used the above procedure and it is gone.
Brendan
I did all as you suggested , and mine are still present......Maybe as you posted they will go away in time.....!
Brendan posted:I don't even pay attention to the alert thing - mine was a few hundred this morning when I deleted them. Do uyou see the bubble on the side menu?
Brendan
Brendan - there is no red bubble on my side menu next to "Alert" but alert notifications are still there.
Paul
On mine either Paul.... alerts still present....?
Maybe I am wrong - I thought the red buble wasn't going away. You want the list of alerts on the right side to go away too?

Yes - they usually disappear after a while but there are hundreds of them

Clearing the cache, and cookies in the browser should make it forget portions that it was told to recall the next time you open the browser (always restart to ensure settings actually reset). The cache is to speed up later re-loading of things for you. If the alert notice memory is just site based, it isn't in the cache though.
So, The issue might actually be the ogrf host, hoop.la's, not yours; and seems to be the case you've done a cleaning already especially. After changing settings in the browser, reboot the os too (at least resart app, program, or browser).
With all the different operating systems today, some features may vanish for a bit on occasion, unnoticed / unknown by the update coders till complaints roll in.
The big names update without checking too close because there are so many systems and machines they can't really test them all, but can guess real close on the popular ones, and fix the odd stuff later....maybe. Hoop.la is waiting on those same changes and having to adjust to us too.
Fyi, on Android I loose so many funtions for short periods it would make your head spin. Try a few hours to a few weeks for being able to post a pic, or maybe a video, or no attachment tool at all. Maybe not being able to view pictures at the bottom when folks have not added them into the text, no menu access, search might not work for days, etc, etc, etc. (glitchy, but android does reboot very fast and clean, kinda like a safe mode, it's strength) I'm used to it now I guess. I just clear the cache, quip about what's broken, and wait it out with rolled eyes 
Thinking about it, I haven't had any alerts myself in a very long time.

How about telling us how you deleted them?
The bubble goes away once you open the alerts page
I know some of you are trying to be helpful, but the browser cache has absolutely NOTHING TO DO WITH ALERTS.
Here are the ACCURATE FACTS ABOUT ALERTS:
- Alerts cannot be manually deleted.
- Alerts will display in the order they were created, with most recent displaying first.
- Whether read or unread, alerts drop off the list after 7 days.
- If you have a large number of alerts to display, then pagination links will display to allow you to see them all.
If you don't want to get any more alerts, shut them off in your NOTIFICATIONS area. After a week, they'll be all gone.
