Description of problem:

Opening a page with this URL shows no observation and an endless spinner:

Then, opening the “Filters” popup and unchecking “Verifiable” shows 2 observations, but the URL does not change:

Bug:
Endless spinner.

Other issue:
URL does not change when the filter changes (we can’t share the results by providing the URL).

is that really a bug? there are no observations. so you have no observers.

Other issue:
URL does not change when the filter changes (we can’t share the results by providing the URL).

if there’s a bug here, this is the bug.

When I took a look at your issue I notice a bug with the Captive and Verifiable filter, I have the feeling that might be related to this as well.

According to the company for which I work, an endless spinner is for sure a bug. Let us let iNaturalist say if it is a bug according to their standards, I won’t discuss it further.

There are many cases in web development where the URL does not change when filters are applied within the page. I would prefer on iNat that a change in the filters is always related to a change in the URL, but I can’t say that it has to be like that.

Regarding the endless spinner, we just released a fix for it. Looks good now.
