What’s your account’s locale?

If you mean Settings → Account → Language/Locale, then it’s “English”.

OK, thanks. Are you able to open up your browser’s console on that page and share a screenshot that shows any errors in the console?

It’s probably actually depends on the locale. I have only minor errors in EN(US) - Chrome:

chrome_en(us)
chrome_en(us)1917Ă—999 234 KB

Firefox:

firefox_en
firefox_en1920Ă—923 131 KB

But the same behavior (as shown by the topic starter) if locale RU - Chrome:

chrome_ru
chrome_ru1920Ă—1002 273 KB

Firefox:

firefox_ru
firefox_ru1920Ă—930 127 KB

Console log (Chrome) EN(US) - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1q3kk37y1EqkSMM3tYH3VDU1Ct3Aio8tK/view?usp=drive_link, RU - https://drive.google.com/file/d/10EaigPE0Zrz07z8ReYY7Q4SCUwP4fLQL/view?usp=drive_link. About the same in FF.

Maybe it could help.

P.S. Just for fun, I tried some other locales. ES, PL - ok (as in EN). GR - the same as in RU. Perhaps only non-Latin script languages are affected.

We released a potential fix for the dates in the “added” column on Explore today. For anyone that was experiencing problems with that column in the last 2 weeks, if you could try again and report if you’re still having issues, that would be very helpful. Ideally the dates displayed in that column should match the “Submitted” dates on the observation details pages above the map.

If you are not seeing dates and instead see this text with brackets, it would be helpful to have a screenshot of any errors in the browser console. If the dates in the Explore list view still do not match what you see on the observation details pages, it would also be helpful to know what timezone you are view the website from, e.g. Asia/Barnaul, as the issue would be a date timezone conversion problem. Thanks for the feedback!
