Hi,

I’m new to this forum and tried to locate a specific category to post this.

I looked at an old post from 2021, and would like to ask if someone can please explain this? I’m not sure if it differs from my settings and where I can locate it to check?

Thanks so much,

Allie

Also, it might have been related to my question about how to find observations in which iNat labeled me as a “maverick”?

I need to review them and correct errors. Thanks!

For finding mavericks, this seems to work. Replace my username with yours.

Arw you asking about the meanings of the diffefent notifications / following settings on each thread? You can change both default behaviours per-category in your personal settings, and per-thread.
