Description of problem: I got a notification that an user had mentioned me in the most recent observation of the week journal post which I followed to see the comments, but didn’t comment on myself. However, when I clicked the notification I saw that another user was mentioned but not me.
This isn’t the first time this has happened. The same thing happened earlier this morning. I got a notification when an user mentioned another user (not me) on an observation I had identified.
This happened to me too earlier today. I chalked it up to them tagging me and then editing their comment to tag someone else, but now it’s starting to seem like a pattern.
This type of false notification shows up in my feed about once or twice per year. I’ve never figured out why it happens. It seems to be a periodic glitch in certain journal posts…by anyone. This may have been the subject of a past Bug Report but I can’t find it.
This was related to a bug introduced yesterday. Some notifications in the last day or so might give the wrong reason. Apologies for that. We just released a fix for that so hopefully notifications going forward report the correct reason for notifying. Thanks for alerting us to the problem.
Interesting! I’ve had 5 or 6 of these in the last day, and as others have, just assumed someone had incorrectly named me then fixed it before I saw it. But it was surprising to have so many at once. Nice to know it was a bug and might be OK now.
