You need to edit the project settings so that you are one of the accepted users

at the moment, you have a filter set up so that only observations from one user (not yourself) will be accepted by the project

If this is what you want, then the best process would be to edit the project, remove the ‘include users’ filter entirely (so get rid of the user you currently have specified), and instead tick this box:
