notification when photos uploaded to cache page

[+The_Incredibles_]

When we get an email with people's 'Found logs", there's nothing to tell you they uploaded photos on the cache page.

 

I realize this is because the photos are uploaded after the fact. However, it would still be great if we could get some sort of notification that photos have been uploaded - perhaps 1 email per log instead of 1 email per photo (to cut down on emails).

 

There have been some really good photos uploaded to my cache pages that I haven't noticed for many months until I went looking on the cache page and saw them there.

This has been brought up before, and it is still a good idea.

+1 The same thing goes for trackables. And edits to logs (it's a bummer that the CO only gets to know me through my typographical errors).

Plus, one might use such a feature to keep an eye on whether someone uploaded a very obvious spoiler photo.

I support this idea!

Interesting ideas, and notifications sound good. We'll be processing a lot more email, though. When i get an email of a find, i usually click the link and read the log on the cache page. That answers the photo & tb questions.

I was just thinking about this today and so did a search and came across this thread from some months back.

 

I, too, would like to receive motifications of photos, log edits including adding coordinate entries on logs after the fact, and log deletions.

 

The downside, of course, is this could generate a torrent of emails, but last night I thought about that, too.

 

So for these kinds of notifications, how about NOT sending them out immediately, but instead, using a daily digest approach? I've seen this on many other sites and it works well in most cases.

 

So you get your Notifications and initial logs immediately, but all of these, um, "housekeeping" notifications get bundled together and sent out in a single email. They could even be zipped together and sent as an attachment by default or if a certain size threshold is exceeded.

This was posted just yesterday in another thread.

 

We have both of these requests in the backlog: notification to a cache owner when a log on their cache is edited, and notification when a photo is uploaded to a log.

Thanks. Missed that.

Yes I agree with this. A email notification that a image has been posted and an email log when a log is edited. Yes Please!

Currently I do it the other way, in my log I state that I have uploaded a photo. But an automated email would be better. It doesn't need to include the image. Just a link to the log that includes the image. Because images are uploaded after the fact, this will result in multiple logs, but I see no way around that unless GS implements a 1/2 hour delay on emails, just in case photos are uploaded.

Still want this.
