I’ve noticed two instances recently where I have not gotten a notification when someone tags me in the notes section. Is this a bug or intentional? I can’t think of any reason it would beneficial for this, so I assume bug. As far as I’m aware I’m still notified of tags in comments. URLs (aka web ad…

OK, this has been fixed. It’s working for me.

(since I’ll delete the observations and associated comments now, posting this here) I tagged you in the notes section of 3 observations and you then let me know you got all 3 notifications. Hm… tag added after observation was already uploaded tag added at time of uploading (observation made via w…

@bouteloua thanks for the help, wonder if this could be an iPhone app-specific issue? My phone is android too, so I’d offer to help but unfortunately can’t do so.

For one of the observations, it looks like you made your ID 2 minutes after they made theirs, so I wonder if you were on the Identify page and just hadn’t refreshed it yet?

I thought tags were only supposed to work in comments. Have I been overloading people with notifications when I put their names in the description/notes section? I just wanted to link to their accounts if we went together so that anyone who saw my obs can see that and go see their obs from that day. …

What I’m talking about isn’t delayed notifications, it’s never getting a notification at all when someone @'s me in the “Notes” section of of an observation.
