Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.

Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

Assuming I understand your question, I don't think you can delete alerts. They never go away, they just scroll away as new ones populate above them. However, the new ones should be bold so you can easily see what you have not read yet.
Btw, don't use the browser back button because the bold will just come back. Instead, just hit the alerts button again.

I'll guess that this "feature" is an admin setting. Ie, the difference between this and your other forum is just an admin preference, not a software difference.
I use dozens of other forums and I have been the creator, admin, and moderator on a half dozen forums or so.
Frankly, I like it the way it is here. I frequently like to read a post over again to see if I missed something or to re-examine the content and/or intent. Being able to find them via a notification is a real blessing.
The fact that unread notifications are bold is sufficient to keep my workload to a minimum and total info at a maximum. So I agree with the admin's choice.
What would be perfect would be a user choice setting instead of an admin choice.
But hey, I am grateful for everything the admins do and can't complain. I'm also grateful for the help of members here like you who give their time to help me with my machining questions.
Life is great!
