But its been down for a few minutes now… oh well, off to play a game instead, goodnight

I’m also having issues. I can get onto my dashboard, and I could open my notifications, but I couldn’t add ID’s or comments to them, and I can’t do anything with the ID page.

iNat seems to be working for me, but I can’t open any projects.  
(No, it only looked like it was working…)

Came to check if it was on my end. Can’t open any observations or do any search.

I’ll wait until things get back to normal to upload new obs, then. :)

Take this unfortunate moment as an incentive to go out in nature, sip some extra vitamin D, and record new obs to upload :)

Good to know it’s not just me. I uploaded three observations this morning but it wouldn’t load ID suggestions nor even let me enter a placeholder. They seem to have uploaded but without IDs, and now I can’t even open them to try to add the IDs to them. The observation pages just keep sitting there on the spinning wheel thingy and refuse to load. I can get to my observation list but I suspect maybe because its in my browser cache?

I would but it’s drizzling here as well and I have school 🥲

Hopefully iNat is back and at it later today.

Ditto here in Turkey, Observation grid/map hangs but notifications OK.  
I suppose I should go and do the dishes, though they’ve not been there long enough to attract interesting flies to catch…

Thank you everyone for your patience. As we still investigate what happened the site should be back up now again.
