This seems to be a major regression on the iNat website.
If you go to any observation page (like this one) and follow a link to the profile of any user who ID’ed or commented on the observation, the link gives a 404. For example: https://www.inaturalist.org/people/radrat doesn’t seem to resolve to my user profile.
Just noticed this myself. Even my own profile won’t load, except up in the right corner badge where I am identified by a number rather than a user name.
Me too. And it was just working a minute ago! Hope this is fixed soon. Although you gotta admit, the “search mole” is pretty cool. :-)
ah you beat me to it by 5 mins (https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/viewing-profile-page-gives-mole-error/10972/5)
Problem is definitely having the username in the URL vs the user ID number
Yeah, that and the “fail whale” are pretty cool as far as error messages go… :)
Oooh! I haven’t seen the fail whale yet! Good thing we have a staff with a sense of humor. This lightens the mood and probably prevents a lot of grumpy answers.
We’re investigating, sorry about that folks.
works now :)
Thank you!!!
Awesome, thank you.
It’s a whale shark photo and it is captioned with something like "Oops! I ate iNaturalist ". 
Cool!!! Now iNat needs to fail for like 30 secs so I can see it and take a screenshot. :-)
You can see half of it here:
Thank you!!!
