This behavior happens very frequently. I’m simply using identify, and then for seemingly no reason the page suddenly goes blank as follows:

In the latest instance, the page was already fully loaded and I was just visually looking over the tiles and then all of the sudden it’s blank.

I have to push the refresh button on the browser to get the observations back. I’ve seen this happen countless times, maybe 40-60 times over the last month.

Happens to me as well, started noticing it within the last week or so. Doesn’t go together well with my “push mark-all-reviewed first” workflow.

I see it as well, I think it is just a further offshoot of the scaling issues the site is experiencing.

This happens to me all the time. I just hit F5 and wait.

If it happens again, can please open your browser’s console and post a screenshot that includes the console? It might have error information that could be useful.

This page has instructions for how to view the console for the most common browsers: https://support.airtable.com/hc/en-us/articles/232313848-How-to-open-the-developer-console

I see this too with some regularity. I finally remembered to grab a console dump.

We added some safeguards to try and prevent this from happening. Is it still happening for anyone?

This just started happening to me today. I have never seen it before but now it is happening about 80% of the time.

I am going through individual observations rather than using the Identify page, and is triggered by me adding an identification. Adding comments, annotations, or voting in the DQA do nothing, but as soon as I add an identification it loads for a moment and then goes blank as above.

Here is the console screenshot from this one:

If I reload the page everything goes back to normal and my ID has been added correctly. After reloading, editing my ID, deleting it, or adding a new ID does not cause the problem to happen again.
