Alert Questions

Polar Ice Fields
This one has been bugging me for forever... it sucks when I forget to take the extra step to set my alert...
This is the page you get when you fail in the fields...
The Crypts
Sometimes I accidentally set an extra alert...
This is the page you get when you fail the crypts...
The two above examples are not entire analyses of each feature. For example, I have no idea what the alerts look like when you "win" the Polar Ice Fields or the Crypts. And each feature should direct to a final page that says, "You've already played recently. Come back later!" (like the Mallarchy Pond game.)
Shinwa's Quest
For my sanity, please remove the alert feature for Shinwa's quest. Since it's not on a 24 hour timer any more, it doesn't matter if she has an alert or not. She's a daily. I'm tired of accidentally hitting the Set Alert link because it's a reflex and not an actual necessity. (And if users want an easy link to her or a reminder, they should use the Quests Widget or a Bookmark, not a time-released/burden-on-the-system alert.)
other non-dailies/features that might need alerts
These are not daily features, so having a timer would be really nice...
The Underground Spring The Galley
Did I miss any timer features that need the alerts/need them fixed?
I kind of like having the Crypts page keep the alert option up even if you've set one. Sometimes I close the tab by mistake before setting an alert and it's nice to be able to go back and set one later. I'd rather get two alerts one time than miss out on doing Crypts for several hours because I didn't set an alert and I forgot about it. [edit] I actually wish more things worked like the Crypts. Things happen and sometimes alerts don't get set right away. Maybe it's me but I like being able to go back and set one if I make a mistake /shrug
Yes, though we do really need the Polar Fields alert to actually show up on that page instead of having to leave and come back.
I posted a suggestion for removing the alert from Shinwa a few months ago. It's still something I'd like to see removed, although I've finally gotten the hang of not clicking it. xD Some people like it as a reminder to do her quests though.
HONK!
I just realized this should probably be in Suggestions and Ideas. v.v My bad.
or Can you move this please?
An Underground Spring alert would be far too often. It's on a 5 minute timer, IIRC. Getting that for scratchcards has taught me that I really don't want pings that regularly. Click a few pages, alert. Go do the task. Click a few more pages, alert. Do the task again. Click. Click. ALERT. Click. Click. ALERT. It gets really old, really fast.
A Galley alert option would be fantastic. I constantly forget that's a thing.
