I got an alert that I was quoted.

Clicked on it and I wasn't quoted, someone else was.
Post doesn't say it was edited, but I know there is a grace period so it might be that. I just thought I remember people having this issue so I thought I'd mention it.

Maybe tag @pr3nt177 to see if they'd like to admit to any ninja edits.

The grace period is 5 minutes, by the way.
 
Would the alert disappear if the quote was removed? I saw the alert over an hour after it came through?

Thanks for the exact time of the grace period, I was curious.
Based on my own experience, I think the alerts are made only when the quoting/tagging post is first published. That is, removing the quote/tag in a later edit doesn't remove the alert (I think), and adding quoted/tagged users in during an edit doesn't alert them, even during the grace period (I think).

I suppose we can test it right now. Before I've edited: quoting Kosher Salt!
quote removed


After I've edited: quoting Man vs persistent rat! (Sorry to bug you if this really does alert you! I just got the next most recent person who posted on this page.)
This is a good idea tbh.
 
I hope this is the best place to ask, since when did KF delete conversations? I had some in my inbox I meant to delete anyway and saw that they're all gone. Also I'm not a hardcore kiwi so if someone can tell me where new features like this are announced, if at all, that would be great.
