The last update was in October 2020. Any news ? https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/notifications-on-inaturalist-please-share-your-ideas/374/200

I can see that that kind of thing would be really complicated! However, what I want seems simple to me – a way to “dismiss” (hide from me) notifications that I’ve seen. If I had that, I could chip away at a big backlog a page or two at a time. Now, I have to check them all at once or else go back…

On the website, clicking on the notification bell (correction: speech bubble icon) only to have all notification be marked as resolved is the biggest problem. Having the individual notifications not disappear until read (similar to how iNat Next works) would be the most useful improvement. I would…

DISagreements is why we made the Pre-Maverick project . Including the resolved obs, we have found about one million. 2 agree, one doesn’t. Which side are you on? Who is right? iNat only lets us find our Mavericks . Too little, too late, CID has moved on and your ID makes no difference either way! A …

[image] sedgequeen: Now, I have to check them all at once or else go back through the ones I’ve already checked to find the ones I haven’t seen. Surely that could be added without a total rewrite of the notification system. as i noted, if you just added a whole new screen it would just look w…

If you look at my original post, I never suggested to simply put the current app notification tabs on the website in addition to the existing ones. I suggested a specific different breakdown and/or additional tab on the dashboard that would likely be more useful for a lot of people, along with colo…

[image] spiphany: I only mentioned the app because the app is evidence that the back-end functionality already exists. it exists only to create a notifications screen that looks like what you see in the mobile apps, and that covers only a subset of the notifications that you can see in websit…

If I’m understanding right, you’re saying there’s a reason your eternal tool just covers observations and excludes notifications for things like comments on flags, journals, or taxon changes - because the back end does not support a notification drop-down that allows them to stay “unread”? So there …

[image] pisum: the speech bubble list Serious failure of communication. What the — is a “speech bubble list”? What makes you think notifications get marked reviewed when I click on it? Why would I want that, anyway? I’m using the website. I see a long list of notifications, including acti…

Speech bubble is your ‘374 notifications’ If you click there, the number disappears, and those are all ‘Read’. Yes they are still listed on your dashboard - but no indication if you looked at that one already. Or not. That we get notified, separately, for every engagement with each obs … whimper. …
