By setting an Alert you mean what exactly?

I'm able to change "Alerts", through my Profiles settings. But setting an actual Alert, I can't seem to find it either.

Actually when u look under options against a contact you have an option as "set alert" which alerts you when the contact is available .
this is when the contact is not available and teh message shows it in not delivered or answered

There is no set alert option in the latest version of BBM.

I checked the manual and it does have this option, I wonder what happened then . If anyone can find out the reason to this problem, please do let me know .

They most likely wiped it out.

I think you have to look at the contact's profile to see if they're available with the new BBM.
