Well, this is weird… When I click the link above from @cmcheatle (https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/new), this is the page that opens:
https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/57704266
That happens to be the page I have open in another browser window. I refreshed the forum page twice, think it is a browser glitch. But the same observation opened.
If I click Tap to Show Preview, the same observation page displays.
Browser glitch? I’m using Safari on an iPad…
I moved your post to a new topic. Only curators will be able to access the new taxon page. Do you get a banner at the top of the page with a message to that effect? This is what happens when I open the link in a window where I’m not signed into iNat:
And this is what I see when I’m logged into a test account that isn’t a curator:
Thanks. Your title describes it well.
The warning page is not what comes up for me, but an iNat page I have open in a different tab. I tried the same thing on my husband’s computer. This time that link opened opened the iNaturalist homepage. So, I logged in there and went to the People page. Then, I went to the forum post again, and clicking that link went to the People page.
I’m curious whether or not you see the warning banner in any of those situations though? It’s not a standalone warning page, just a banner at the top. Can you share a screenshot of the standalone page / exactly what you see when you click the link?
No, I don’t see a warning banner. This is a screenshot of the page that opened just now when when I clicked the link above: https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/new
I just tried that URL from my account, and it also reverts to the last observation I was viewing. The warning banner displays at the top of the page, but fades out in less than 5 seconds, so I probably would have missed it if I wasn’t looking for it. (In case it’s a browser-specific problem, I’m using Firefox 80.0 in Linux.) If this is a common problem, it might be worth a feature request to make those warnings persistent, requiring the user to click the “X” to clear them.
