Great, I am glad you are no longer receiving the unwanted alerts. If you do start getting them, please list out the tickers in question and I will see if I can replicate.

Please also check that you do not have multiple Seeking Alpha windows or tabs open when you turn off those settings. The other window or tab may not save the same settings.

Do you have a list of tickers this is happening with? Have you opened the "Show Advanced" button on the email alerts page to make sure the alerts are off?  Finally, did you (after you turned off the alerts) log out of your account and log back in to see if they turn on again?

Have you selected one of the buttons on those popups?  We have two running. One on your vocation, the other on your trading frequency. If you just close out of the APP without selecting a choice, they will reappear next time you visit. Once you select an answer they should disappear and you will not see them again.
