Have now received two FF alerts for the Intern from The Times but as they are dupes of the post already made by Steve, it might mess the alert system up when they are deleted.

I dream of getting alerts for duplicates and chat. You don't realise that you miss it until you get nothing. :(

The problem is the email limit is 1,000 per hour and every FF post exceeds that. If they are sent in batches a minute apart then there's no problem with getting the alert. Batches of 15 a minute means 900/hour leaving room for other alerts like pm's and 1,500 subscribers would all be alerted within 100 minutes, or 1 hour 40 minutes. The alert may be late but it will arrive, unlike now when there's no alert for you at all.

Sounds like a good solution.
Does the batch size & interval not control all the BB emails.
Therefore the other post and Pm's are all grouped with the same settings.
If so you might as well up the batch to 16 to max the output

Trying to get tickets for screenings in London a late alert by even a few mins isn't of any use. It used to all work before, I just want to get back to that.

Oops. Tell a lie, I did receive an alert but late which is possibly down to my email program.
