[IMG_1224.HEIC] I’ve been busy with school and haven’t logged on in a while, so I knew i would have a lot of notifications to go through. I was expecting maybe around 100 since I was quite active in IDing for a few months. I was not expecting over a thousand!! And unless things have been updated i…

Awesome! Yeah that is very helpful. Thank you!

@austinsmith Have you turned off notifications for confirming IDs from your account setting page? I assume you’ve done this already, but just in case (and for others who might see this topic)

Does not help me. I want to see WHO agreed with me. Are you a trusted identifier and I can unfollow that obs? Or a clickety click, and I need to follow until a more reliable ID rolls in? After a month of digital detox I worked thru 1 700 notifications.

I laughed when I saw @austinsmith ’s sky-high number of notifications. Then I went off for about four or five hours for a walk. 551 notifications generated in just that time. Yikes! Fortunately, the vast majority were finer IDs added to a very large set of Unknowns uploaded by one observer a year …

Thank you for the suggestion, but yes I had to turn that off a while ago! Through @pisum 's tool i was able to figure out that a bit of it was a few identifiers very thoroughly going through various groups. Most notably hundreds of marine shells that I had only been able to ID to Arcoidea or Arcidae…

Oops— I might’ve been a part of that. I have gone through a few thousand Arcoidea in the past few months, mostly to identify lesser known species like Anadara chemnitzii and A. notabilis

I guess I'm not checking my notifications
