Author alerts
I've noticed that the 'manage my author alerts' function does not seem to be working, You can either follow or un-follow an author, but there is no check box for whether you want to get email alerts. In the past there was an easy way to follow an author but not get notified each time they posted an article. I've had to un-follow several authors I've recently added because that was the only way to stop receiving emails.
We are working on a better page for managing email alerts. In the interim, there is a workaround where you can go to the specific author's profile page, click Unfollow and then Follow again and then you can uncheck the Email alerts box.
