For the past few times that I have recieved an alert on the QQ website the number has been wrong for some reason when it says I have 3 alerts I find that their is actually only 2.

This may seem a small thing but I thought I should mention it in case thir is a potential bug in the alert count indicator.
 
...Huh. Weird.

Okay, next time you get time alerts, try refreshing your current page before checking your alerts. There shouldn't be a bug involving miscounting them or the math to update the alert number, but this is how you would check.

If that's not it, my only other non-bug guess is "are you getting alerts about someone you have on ignore?" And that's really only "non-bug" because it's more of a "well it's arguable whether that counts as a bug or not" situation.
 
One possibility is the alerts disappearing because the post gets deleted... but it sounds a bit too frequent for that to be the case.

This may be connected to something that happened to me posts being posted multiple times then the author deleting the second ones quickly.
