Description of problem:

Step 1: Click project title on observation page

Step 2: Get redirected to completely different project

Step 3: Question sanity

Step 4: Go back, hover over link, notice it links to project number 106

Step 5: Navigate to https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/106

Step 6: Confirm sanity

Step 7: Search project title instead

Step 8: Find correct project

Step 9: Open observations by clicking “View All” under “Most Observations”

Step 10: Confirm correct project number listed in search filters

Step 11: File bug report

P.S.: It looks like “106” is part of the title of the other project–that has to be relevant somehow, right?

The other project was for an event in 2017. No obs. Project admin was here only Jun 3, 2017

Perhaps that project could be deleted ?

But 12 members who have joined down the intervening years. All with no obs in the project.

Seems projects have two URLs - one with numerical ID and one with descriptive text. Looks like the descriptive text for the Chinese URL happened to be a number which coincided with the numerical ID of the other project? So there might be a more general bug about projects whose descriptive URL happens to be a number?

This was a problem at one time, I thought we fixed it or at least prevented it from happening with new projects, but the fix may have not been applied here. I’ve let our engineers know.

Pretty cool that https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/what-lives-on-albany-hill-cerrito-creek is so old: the 106th project ever!
