Screenshots of what you are seeing:
Description of problem: When you open the popup for the observation for reviewing there should or used to be a button “Compare” to show other suggestions. Its not visible anymore for me.
Step 1: Go to identify page.
Step 2: Click on the image of an observation to open the popup.
Step 3: There is an “Agree” button but no “Compare” Button.
It’s not a bug, the Suggestions tab in the pop-up is what you want. It’s basically the same thing as the Compare button.
Except it’s not quite, because if you have conflicting suggestions and want to look at one of them, you have to change the taxon, since it starts with the CID. It’s great, don’t get me wrong, but it does add an extra step. (Admittedly this applies more to ‘Observations’ than ‘Visually similar’.) I’ve definitely wished for a simple ‘compare’ button at times, though I can see why it’s not there.
You can change the taxon in the filters in the Suggestions Tab, to anything you like - just type it in the box (in addition to the offered selections of parent taxa to the taxon displayed).
I know, thanks - it’s just that, as I say, it takes an extra step. (And I tend to run my browser into the ground with a million tabs, so it can be slow… Yep, that part’s all my own fault.)
