Well I’m going to admit I’m very disappointed to see the leaderboard gone. My way of looking at iNat is on the identify page, with the “Needs Id” filter set, for all of South Australia. I never “piled” on id’s just to run up the leaderboard. But it gave me a sense of pride when I hit the top, and…

Hey Brett, this link shows the leaderboard for you for South Australia: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?place_id=6899&subview=grid&view=identifiers Only 21 away, you can start getting that bubbly ready! And you better look out, I’m closing in ;)

This was only one place where you can see number of your id’s. You can see it on your profile page, or if you look on Explore page, you can see it on Leaderboard list.

Thanks Ribabo, do you mean “was NOT” the only place. I knew about the title page, but that included random id’s elsewhere in the country. I think the Explorer page page you mention is the same one Thomas linked to? That’s awesome Thomas, didn’t know about that page/filter. And look there’s over 100…

I like leaderboards and stats and things like that too but have been using the date and location filters for a while anyway. But why are you fellow Aussies using the “American” iNaturalist - you should be using the Australian branch https://inaturalist.ala.org.au :)

Please make an argument why what you’re suggesting using the Aus branch at ALA would be better…

I don’t see a difference. We still get the same competitive and often incorrect ID’s from the other side of the world (and for me the off-putting thing whether it is Aus or parent site California is scores).

If you associate to the Aus node ALA can get your unobscured location (I believe) and you only get extra banners from ALA, which means none really (i.e. no please for donations). Other than that it is pretty much the same.

Thanks everyone. Yes I use the https://inaturalist.ala.org.au/ but it makes more difficult in the end. Most links are to the generic iNat site and so have to convert. They are different log ins (like Thomas’ above) so can’t even just view for a quick look while logged into inat.au I’d have hoped t…

oneanttoofew (gr8 name by the way ;-) I think the Aus site is more accessible to Atlas. I think they upload faster from there and can access actual co-ord’s instead of hidden. ie they are trusted, not like the general public view of your obs. But I’m not sure on this. Otherwise it seems a waste o…

This feature request would solve the links going to a different domain, please vote for it. What bothers me is its so easy to implement but gets ignored because most people use the main iNat domain (NZ’ers excepted).
