I would love to be able to choose to see notifications of confirming IDs on my observations but not those of others.

@molanic

…the first confirming ID of my own observations. I do like to see when my own observations get that confirming ID and reach research status, but I don’t need to see all the subsequent ones ad infinitum

@charlie

I turned off agreeing observations but would love a notification with something like “TSN agreed with 34 of your IDs!” so i know who’s helping me!

I came here to request this, but seems several people already mentioned it. :) I’ve also had confirming notifications turned off for a long time…but at the same time,

@emmabuch

I would be a little sad not to receive “confirming” IDs (as a lay contributor only, it’s a nice reward after posting to see someone “noticing” my observation)

So I’ve also been missing out on knowing who’s been most helpful in confirming my observations’ IDs. I know I can search for that information, e.g. IDers of my obs in the past month, but there’s something to be said for some sort of indication that these confirming IDs are happening, which would probably spur me to help ID their observations in return.

At the same time, I definitely don’t need 12 separate notifications of 12 people agreeing with my American robin observation :) so some sort of grouping of activity by user or observation would be necessary as indicated above.

Also, while I don’t (think) I care much about people agreeing with my IDs on other people’s observations, that may not be true across the board.
