To keep things manageable, I’ve set my account to only receive notifications of disagreeing IDs. But every so often, I do want to see IDs that are in agreement. I don’t want notifications of them, I just want to see a list of IDs by others that agree with mine. Does anyone know of a way to do this? …

It’s easy to find your observations that reached Research Grade. That’s not quite what you’re asking about, though, is it.

No, basically I want the option to see all activity, including “agreeing” IDs on observations I’ve identified, but keep my notifications set to only disagreeing IDs, comments, mentions, etc. I wonder if this should be a feature request.

You could see agreeing identifications as they occur by setting your account so that you see them. (I do that. So I get more than 200 notifications most days, nearly overwhelming, but the agreeing ones that send the observation to RG are easy to scroll past if I want to, and I usually do.) You co…

Thanks, yes those are both good approaches. This isn’t really a big deal, just something I’ve been wondering since in general I don’t care to see confirming IDs, but occasionally I do.

One other option is to scroll through your observations in the app. It will show a pink flag for any activity, whether it’s agreeing or not and I have my notifications set to only show disagreements too.

Just FYI feature requests for changes to notifications aren’t currently being accepted. iNat solicited input on the general topic several years ago and is working on a long awaited revamp, but there won’t be any piecemeal changes until then.

Is there a way to view agreeing IDs while only getting notifications of disagreeing IDs?
