Getting Notifications for Replies for People I don't Follow... Even Though I am Set Not To
I am getting tweets from my friends tweeting to (@username) people I am not following with my settings under notices being "@ replies to the people I'm following "
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?Hi Lynn,
If I understand you correctly, what you are seeing is not a bug, it's the way it works.
The (new) drop-down setting under notices is meant to configure the Replies tab (https://twitter.com/replies)
When your friends @someone, even if you don't follow the 3rd person, that tweet would still show up on https://twitter.com/home
For example, say your friend Bob follow me and you don't follow me. When Bob @thomashan, that tweet would show up on your Recent tab.
I hope I understood what you were asking about, does this help?
Cheers,
thomashan

Inappropriate?Thanks for the reply. Yeah I think I was misunderstanding then...
Is there a way to ignore all @ replies unless they are @me ?
I just have some friends who about 50% if their traffic is @ and while I want to see the other 50% I want to cut down on their cross chatter.
I’m thankful

Inappropriate?Hi Lynn,
I better let the professionals (a.k.a official Twitter staff) answer this one.
But AFAIK, there isn't a way to do this yet besides unfollow this 'chatty' fellow :-)
However, if your concern is more of missing @yourname messages, you can use the track feature to make sure you don't miss any. I see that you have SMS setup (base on your few from txt tweet).
Is that what you want to accomplish or more to see less of this chatty friend?
HTH,

Inappropriate?Sorry but the replies given for this don't seem right. In my settings I've got it set to only show @ replies for other people I follow. So I should not be seeing @ replies to people I don't follow. And yet, I am. Something is wrong. Other people are having this problem too. It's not with everyone, only new people that I start to follow. I do not see everyone's @ replies, only now the new people that I add. It's making Twitter impossible to use... hopefully this problem can be fixed soon.
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?This appears to be a Twitter bug; I'm not aware of any solution yet.
Similar problems with @replies seem to have hit a small number of users on and off over the past few weeks.
I’m wondering what's going on!
