Did you go here and make sure the first two boxes were checked?

https://www.head-fi.org/f/account/preferences

Yes, and checked the options boxes on each thread at the bottom of each thread. At this point keeping a tab open to the Subscriptions/All page seems the best way for me to keep track. Missing a few posts is no big deal but if someone can't respond to a query made to them because they don't know, that's bad form. I continue to investigate

I tried a PM yesterday and got a response so that does appear to function for me.

Maybe there's a significant time lag as notifications hit my E-Mail program for some reason, something else to check on my end, Keepin' busy, off the streets and out of trouble, LOL!

I was keeping the Account Alert screen up, think I'll keep subscriptions/All and monitor from there.

The About You section content still shows up at the bottom instead of the top even though the bold About label is at the top. Glitchy!

Another curiosity, I just had 2 E-Mail notifications in my in box.

I check my Account Alerts and they showed 0 but updated later, maybe 2 minutes.
Curious, I would think it would be the other way around, Alerts on this page showing before E-Mail shows up in my in box.

Does anybody know what the blue label on the corner of the avatar means? Some people have it, some don't, but there doesn't appear to be a clear logic so far.

Not sure about the blue triangle.

But your post showed up on my Alerts counter before I got the E-Mail this time.

May I ask why it is more convenient for you guys to use the "Threads I posted in" thingy instead of just enabling the "Subscribe when I post" option?
With the subscription you can choose which threads you don't want to follow anymore, can add threads you didn't post in and stuff. With the first option you are bound to one algorythm. I don't see a bad thing in using subscriptions instead of one fixed thing.

Or didn't you use it before and now it's too much work to update?

My guess: it shows the online status.

Not sure if this has been previously requested (I don't have time to read 59 pages) and there's no search function, but can the search this thread function be added in please?

I'll link the planned updates here

I think I'll post it in my signature since some threads I posted in, don't know about this thread at all.

Think you are right

Ah, makes sense! Just thought I had turned off 'online mode' in settings, but maybe only I see myself as having the blue triangle.

Well, I don't see a blue triangle on your avatar while I'm responding to you now, so if you are online, then you'll know that it is only you who sees it.

Any update on the missing reviews? I wouldn't know, search is still not working well. I'd think this would be a priority -- users worked hard to contribute to the value of this forum.

I read all the explanations about this transition, and agree with others like glassmonkey that there's no reason this couldn't been a much smoother transition than 7 years ago. Users could have been warned, and more time could have taken to beta test. I really have no sympathy regarding the long hours put in. That's just part of the job of hosting a site, and poor planning simply results in more long hours and crises.
