I've noticed recently that when people tag me in the observation description, I won't get notifications.  This has happened a few times now so I thought I should bring it up.

I have noticed the same thing.

If would be helpful to have some concrete examples if possible. Were this tags in comments, IDs, or descriptions? Any pattern that you can see? Can you provide URLs of any observations where you have been tagged and were not notified? Finally, when you say "notifications" do you mean just the header notification, or do you also mean the tag doesn't appear in your dashboard?

Only when tagged in the description.  No notifications on either as far as I can tell.

For completeness, I had a mention that was not in the description of an observation, but rather in the body of an ID that didn't go to either my header or my dashboard (I already messaged Tony about it).

Tony et al.,

Greg Lasley just noticed this same quirk.  I had tagged him in the description field on this damselfly observation:
but he only came across the observation because he was wandering through Odonate observations.  He didn't get a notification from the tag in that field.
