Can't add location to new observations

Please fill out the following sections to the best of your ability, it will help us investigate bugs if we have this information at the outset. Screenshots are especially helpful, so please provide those if you can.

Platform (Android, iOS, Website): Website

App version number, if a mobile app issue (shown under Settings or About):

Browser, if a website issue (Firefox, Chrome, etc) : 98.0.1

URLs (aka web addresses) of any relevant observations or pages: https://inaturalist.ala.org.au/observations/upload

Screenshots of what you are seeing (instructions for taking a screenshot on computers and mobile devices: https://www.take-a-screenshot.org/):

Description of problem (please provide a set of steps we can use to replicate the issue, and make as many as you need.):

Step 1: Upload photo for new observation

Step 2: Add location, either zooming in and clicking on the map or choosing a pinned location

Step 3: “Update observation” button doesn’t work

Step 4: I get around this by starting the observation on my ios app and finishing on the website, but it’s pretty annoying

You didn’t say which browser you’re using, but in Firefox 98.0.2 on my Mac I can both add a location to a new observation by zooming and clicking, or from a pinned location. So I can’t replicate the issue on my end.

Oftentimes these issues can be fixed by either clearing your browser’s cache or by turning off your browser’s extensions and seeing if the problem persists.
