As per all the other threads on the same subject - you need to fill in your profile. It does not go to those who have told us what they are interested in.
Since we know nothing about you, how do we know what you are or aren't interested in? We aren't mind readers.

I'm not interested in anything, be it arable, livestock, or project limpit. I just don't want these alerts.
Fill out your profile then / adjust your settings - your settings are your responsibility and you can really tailor this forum to show only the bits you want to see
we have 40k plus members here and are not telepathic, we can not do this for you
Ticked the no selections box ages ago, didn't seem to make any difference. ?

@7610 super q , did you manage to stop alerts ? [emoji849]
No. Looks like something we've got to live with in this new commercial era.......

you haven't updated your profile - it wont change unless you do so
The reason such option exists is so the forum can be as relevant to you as possible - but if you font tell it about yourself it can't possibly know can it

No you don't have to live with it. You have 3 options.
Upgrade your subscription to no adverts and you get that, no adverts. Or you can actually fill in your profile and get the items relevant to you - no selection means you get everything as we don't know what you are interested in. Or you can live with the free service you enjoy and have some adverts. Just pick one - but you seem to want magical option number 4, that doesn't exist in the commercial world we all live in.
Magical option number 4 involves telepathy - AI machine learning is getting good but its not mastered mind reading yet !
Online events have been very important to a lot of people in this industry through these very difficult times. I think its been great that TFF has been able to help and support them, @Chris F has put many extra hours in working with event organizers desperate to keep their events ruining in some form. they have been popular, I believe one webinar was watched but 17k users and over 30k users visited cereals via TFF this year ! (more than go to the physical event !)
The system is less than ideal and in a world full of unlimited funding we could do something about that and make it much better
I think complaining that you had to click the mouse to dismiss an alert or see a header bar that may not be relevant to you is fair indication that there really isn't all that much wrong with your world if that as inconvenient as life gets ! ................... and as pointed out there are options to fix this if you can be bothered to do so

OK.....
I had assumed that ticking the " No selection " box would mean nothing was selected, and therefore no alerts for the various sectors. Just like the classified section you've made more and more complicated, and get huffy when folks get it wrong / ask questions about how to use it.
We work on a very simple basis that as long as more are happy than unhappy we are doing the right thing
Given the number of people using classifieds, the forum and visiting these shows and webinars I 'm pretty confident its working for the majority, TFF user numbers are off the scale over the last 12 months and just seem to keep growing, we never pretend to get it 100% right but clearly we are not doing too badly either
As Chris has already said - if you don't want irrelevant alerts then fill out your profile, it takes moments ................ or pay for "ad free" tff at 99p / week ? https://thefarmingforum.co.uk/index.php?account/upgrades it's your choice as is using classifieds or the forum at all frankly, no one is forced to be here and the majority seem quite happy

You can also download apps that block adverts

True - but no adverts, no TFF. Blockers also don't block alerts or notices either. They often also block things you don't expect. For instance we don't store pictures locally either.
