No notifications for your own finds?

[+Bunya]

I'm not sure if this is a bug, or whether notifications are supposed to work this way (ignoring your finds).

I have a notification set up for all log types on traditionals covering my area.

It seems to work fine except that I don't get notifications of my own finds - I do get them if others find caches.

Is this a bug?

This changed after a site update several years ago. Some people complained and others were happy because they considered it redundant. I'm not sure if Groundspeak ever confirmed if it was intentional, or if the update broke it and they just saw no point in fixing it.

 

Personally, I always liked getting the notification because it gave me another chance to proofread my logs.

Thanks for that information.

I think it's because I usually put a watch on or bookmark caches before I find them that I hadn't noticed the change.

I just happened to do a few recently where I hadn't done that.

I agree with you about liking to see my logs after I've submitted them in case I've made a serious error.
