Tips & Warnings

• As an alternative to permanently removing an alert, you can elect to suspend one or more alerts instead. Just follow to same procedure as for removing an alert, but click the 'On' button rather than the trash can icon. When the red 'Off' icon appears, this alert has been suspended until you enable it again.
• To suspend all of your alerts at the same time, locate the 'Turn All Alerts' section from the My Alerts page and click the 'Off' link. Your alerts will remain suspended until you enable them again by repeating this process and selecting the 'On' link.
