The last ebird alert that I have received was on March 22. I had this happen 3 mths ago as well. Alerts just finally started showing back up again a week or so later, so I don't know what to do to get them back now or why this is happening again. I messaged the help center (3 mths ago and several times in the past 2 weeks) and other than the auto response from the original ticket, I have never received a reply. I have completed the 3 troubleshooting steps that the auto reply had suggested, including waiting the 48 hrs. In addition to those 3 things, I have logged out and then right back in from both my phone app and my desktop accounts. I have logged out and then waited 24 hrs before logging back in. I have unsubscribed to all alerts and resubscribed immediately and also unsubscribed and went 2-3 days before resubscribing to them. I am on several other group reporting things, so I know I should be getting alerts. I've even tried subscribing to lists from a state I've never been to, so I know there will be alerts and I've gotten nothing.
I did just send another "ticket" into ebird since I've had no response in 2 weeks but thought I would also throw this out to the group. I'm at a loss. I've done nothing different to have caused the loss in the first place. Same phone. Same computer. Same account. Part of me wants to create a new account, but I don't want to lose everything from my current account and not sure I can merge them if I did. I know I sent a S.O.S message when this happened the first time, but couldn't find the responses I got from that, but I think I've done everything that I can remember being suggested anyway.
Any other thoughts or ideas? My SOB says it's a sign I need to quit birding. Haha!!!!
