Heron stalking…

Thanks. It’s also worth opening the linked observation in Amadan’s comment.

I really like the comment by Ian (ophrys)!

Lovely but the only iSpot and out of range. We need help to confirm the ID and the other linked in my comment (please)

Everyone seems to be missing Maggie’s Antarctic Journey that begins in the Observation before this one

This is a question about ‘favourites’ in our own tracker.
I add as favourite any posts that I hope to come back to after a bit of thought.

There are now a lot in my ‘favourites’ and I thought I would delete them from my page. But - will this be noticed by the poster and other commenters?

If so, I won’t do it because it might seem a bit unfriendly if the poster gets alerts about it; and if it produces ‘alerts’ for everyone who commented, that could be very boring/annoying.

Advice awaited.

I use favourites in the same way as you described. Users only get flagged when their post is favourited and not when a post is un-favourited.

As per HB1 I believe that you are only notified when favourites are added and not when they removed. You’re welcome to test this on any of my observations you happen to have favourited.

Thanks.

  1. I have just favourited & then unfavourited your 2015 post of Guernsey fleabane. It had no comments, and I had not seen it before.

second test: this is one you agreed, L’guy, which I have ‘unfaved’. Broomrape | Observation | UK and Ireland | iSpot Nature
