My observation https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/60465596 which was taken in 2015 gets in some aspects an observation age of “15 J” that means 15 years. When I change the language from German to English it gets correct “5 Y”.

Ok, there is no real bug. Many thanks to melodi_96. There is not enough space for the caption. It is, for example, sufficient to reduce the font size of the browser to see the correct value. If my observation had 2 comments instead of only 1 I would have read 25 J.

Can you provide some more details please? Is this on the website or the app? Where exactly are you seeing 15 J? Can you provide screenshots or URLs? Thanks!

I go the inat homepage and click on “Beobachtungen”. It is the first observation, added today.

Maybe you have to choose Raster instead of Karte.

Still not seeing 15 J: [image] If you could please give exact steps to reproduce, that would help a lot.

The steps to reproduce are exact now. I have made some investigations. It seems to be a browser issue. I am using Firefox 78.2.Oesr (and cannot go to newer version) for openSUSE 15.1. There I get 15 J. If I use Google Chrome 85.0.4183.121 under the same operating system or Firefox 81.0 or Google Ch…

Can you post a screenshot? Are you sure that 1 is not from another part of caption, in Russian because there’s not enough space I don’t even see when it was taken. [image]

Looks like it is a common problem for multiple languages, I also had a bug report of something that was shown as 11y. old for me and not 1. :sweat_smile:
