I think the Species count is more interesting than overall observations. I am super impressed that La Paz dominated both the species and total observation count.

I am driven nuts by the website

I am so mad, I am just gonna make it in 4chan format:

.>I found an observation where I could identify the specific species and subspecies (it is endemic to my area, yes yes ^⁠ ⁠〰⁠ ⁠^)

. >The species don't exist in the database (thymus broussonnetii) (thymus broussonnetii subsp. broussonnetii) ?!?

.> My internet is shit, so I accidentally sent two very similar messages with the same link to the observation

.> Stupid me oblivious to the super sensitive spam bot that would block you for anything

. >Nothing loads ? Shity internet at it again! (So I thought)

.>Try to access it from the website, find out I am suspended

.>Try to report it in the forum

.>Need a forum account

.>Confirmation email not sent

.>Misserable and seething at every step, while I should be studying :'(

.>>Account : Ayman_who_loves_nature if anyone could help please.

Check Out My Complimentary App to iNaturalist Seek (in development)!

Hey Guys! I'm working on developing a wildlife identification app called Chirpie! It’s like the iNaturalist Seek app, but for wildlife audio recognition. It will work across multiple taxonomic classes and help people identify wildlife sounds and promote everyday conservation practices.

If this sound like something you'd be interested in please check out the waitlist landing page: https://thechirpieapp.com/

Let me know if you have any suggestions or feedback too. I want to help people explore the natural world. 

Thanks in advance

Editing date on iNaturalist app

Is there a better way to edit the date? Maybe I'm missing something but if I post something from a year or two ago, I have to scroll all the way back through the calendar to the previous date. Is there not a way to type the date in like is possible on the website?

Is there a way to have an INaturalist account, and not upload?

As the title says. I use Seek a far bit and worry my older phone might crap out on me. Causing a loss of all my sightings. I am tempted to make an account to prevent the lose of data, but dont want to share all the location data. I'm also not that interested in the community aspect. I just want to collect points, and explore the outdoors. So is there a way to use Inaturalist without uploading, yet still tracking what I saw, when I saw it, and where I saw it. Just not quite as public as directly uploading it.

Saw it done by someone else - Can you guess where I am based on my top species?

Copyright uploader (URGENT)

There is a person currently in iNat posting the same 3 copyrighted photos, they create a new account every single time I report them. What do I do? Who do I talk to? I am genuinely concerned! I have tried to communicate with them that this is not allowed and they have not responded yet.

These are two, but I think there was a third one that I can't found.

New place issues

So I've recently made a "new place" by just adding the area of my city for a project I'm working on (that being Cleveland, Ohio) and when I do the place only updates with observations made after I've created the place. Is there any way to make it so previous observations are added to this place as well?
