I’ve been opted out of notifications for confirming IDs for a while now. However, over the past few days, I’ve started to noticed that I’m no longer getting notifications for an agreeing ID that has a comment attached (whereas I did in the past).
https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/26165006 this is just one example, where the bottom ID with a comment gave me no notification.
weird.
I’m also opted out of confirming IDs, but I still get notifications of those…
@thebeachcomber have you been able to notice if this is still happening to you? I also have opted out of confirming IDs but do get notifications when a comment is attached.
Still happening to me, at least 2-3 times in the last few months. Last confirmed one was https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/18889299 when I didn’t get a notification for John’s ID/comment. May have had more since but just haven’t stumbled back onto them yet.
An entire year later, this is still happening to me
I can’t replicate this, alas, but we can take a look.
Why not, Tony? Agree with one of his IDs of his own obs and another of a 3d person’s obs and put a different comment in each. Pick one that is already RG if you and he have different expertise.
BTW, I may be experiencing the same problem as the beachcomber, but in my case it may be due to relying on the speech-bubble icon in the upper right of each page and not always reading my dashboard.
I know some type of notifications only show on the dashboard–taxon swaps, eg.
Comments on agreeing IDs will (should) generate the notification in the upper right corner.
Why not, Tony?
Sorry, to be specific I tried and was not able to replicate the issue today.
This has been happening to me again over the past few weeks. As just one example among several, I did not get a notification for the comment + ID by @singhiella on this observation. It was only when I happened to check on it again 5 days afterwards I even realised they had commented. Quite an irritating bug because I’ve missed a few queries directed towards me that I only found, accidentally, much later
is it possible you were looking at the observation at around the same time singhiella was making the ID? i think that could theoretically silently mark any notifications associated with the observation as viewed, which might cause you to miss them.
Not in this case; I tagged singhiella, immediately closed the observation, and then didn’t reopen it again until 5 days later
Another example: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/95836585.
I haven’t opened this observation since I posted it; only noticed the comment when I was scrolling through my obs, saw it was RG when it hadn’t been before, and opened it to check who confirmed the ID

I think this has been happening to me the entire time I’ve been on iNat, I just didn’t notice. A few months ago I decided to go back through all my observations to annotate them, and in the process noticed several agreeing IDs with comments that I had never been notified of.
I can replicate this if:
-have agreeing ID notifications turned off
-I agree with one of my main account IDs from a test account, save the ID without making a comment
-edit the ID and add a comment
-no notification is received on my main account for the added comment
as an update, this is still happening to me :((
Can you check if you have an embedded agree comment notification for your Polycarpon Tetraphyllum observation taken Dec 23rd?
