"Inactive Taxon" for Unknowns when in test group "Mobile-Friendly Mode"

[Vireya]

Platform: Website

App version number, if a mobile app issue:

Browser, if a website issue: Firefox Version 153.0.4 (64-bit)

URLs (aka web addresses) of any relevant observations or pages: To find one, find a user with an Unknown, open that observation, and scroll to the bottom. I can’t give an actual URL as it is likely that the observations will have IDs before you get to look at them.

Screenshots of what you are seeing:

Description of problem:

Step 1: These are from the bottom section of an observation, where you find “More from [username]”. I’ve noticed it a few times recently, but I don’t know if it always happens or has always happened. Observations which have no IDs say “Inactive Taxon”.

Step 2:

Step 3:

I’m on Firefox 155.0 following the upload problems (seems to be resolved for now) and this is not replicating, tried it with two users who both had unknowns from today. I’ll try to find some with historic unknowns and maybe more than one.

My Firefox wanted to be updated, so is now 154.1, but that doesn’t make a difference:

Can someone provide a link?

I can’t replicate it currently on Opera

here’s an unknown: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/396652848

and when I scroll to the bottom, I see this as normal:

I don’t see the ‘inactive’ text

Nevermind, I can replicate the issue in Chrome if I join the “Mobile-Friendly Mode” test group. I added that to the topic title.

Yeah, it doesn’t seem to be browser-dependent, as I’m seeing it in Chrome. But it does seem to be linked to my being in the Mobile Testing Group.

I forgot to mention I was in “Mobile Friendly Mode”. Thanks to whoever picked that up!
