On the "Edit profile" page, in the "Edit email settings" tab, there are two settings for turning on/off "Company Alerts":

Image of "Edit email settings" page with two settings called "Company Alerts" highlighted

One is just a simple on/off toggle, while the other one has the option to turn off or set to "Weekly" a.k.a turn on, but set to weekly.

Can the settings be merged and additional options (Off Daily Weekly Monthly) be added?

Another point to note is that it's impossible to turn off "Company Alerts" (from the first setting in the screenshot). Switching it off and reloading the page only switches it on again. Is this a ?

  • Thanks, @Rosie. Could you also take a look at this: Company Alerts cannot be turned on/off anywhere except Stack Overflow?

The first buggy setting has now been removed:

However, the second setting (highlighted above) is also buggy as described in Company Alerts cannot be turned on/off anywhere except Stack Overflow
