These two observations have been identified to Genus, but they are still stuck at Class (which was the original ID). Any idea why this is happening? I’ve been going through all the older observations in this group and these are the only ones that seem to be having this issue, and they are from the same user.

Nevermind, just realized the user had opted out of community ID. Such a silly thing to do on a website like this.
