One thing I've noticed, it seems that Alerts only remain valid if you always click on them; sometimes it seems that if you ignore an alert (or don't follow through the click) the site drops that thread from future alerts; so you end up missing new content in threads.
This is correct and by design. The idea is to avoid sending out a bunch of emails unnecessarily and avoid the server getting labelled as a source of spam. If you follow the subscription notice then the last visit time for you within that thread gets updated. If there are more posts made after you've been away from the thread you will be notified. But if you don't visit the page the system won't keep sending you emails as a busy threads could result in potentially hundreds of emails being sent to you..
