From what I can tell, I'm getting alerts for replies in an threads I've fixed or maybe it's alerts for all new posts in forums I'm following. Not sure exactly, but why? I only want alerts for the reasons checked in the alert settings.

Do you have 'Replies to a watched thread' ticked in your alert preferences? That should give you alerts for activity in threads you're watching (i.e. ones you've posted in or have manually subscribed to). If you're being notified of all posts in your watched sections then that's a bug.

I am being notified of all posts in watched sections. I'd assume that the replies to a watched thread would be for only threads that I'm specifically following, but that's not the case. When I logged back on just now, one of the alerts was even that someone started a thread in a forum I'm watching. I don't want to get alerted every time anyone starts a thread in a forum I'm watching.

Can you look into this?

Well with a full browser (or maybe a few more hours?) the report button s at least very visible now.

Would be good to get editing back. Sometimes coming back an hour later the discussion has moved on and a new post would be more appropriate, but there are definitely many cases where it's useful to revisit, update or correct a post.

Visually yes, it's fine. Lack of signatures is unusual in a forum (unless we've all got to recreate them but nobody has bothered so far - I've not looked at my own profile to see what the options with this system are yet).
