Description of problem (please provide a set of steps we can use to replicate the issue, and make as many as you need.):
Step 1: click ācompareā on the Life-id from another user to get cv suggestion
Step 2: as source choose āvisually similarā
Step 3: error pop-up
Happens also in ID mode. Reproducable as long as taxon is ālifeā and source āvisually similiarā.

Weird, it just popped up for me on this observation which is IDed to Bees. Does it happen for others on that observation as well?
If I switch the taxon manually to Life then it does - if I just leave it as Bees, it works fine.
Using Chrome
OK weird, itās working for me now. FWIW I didnāt see any errors in the console when it wasnāt working.
This is what it looks like for me setting Life manually on the bees
Similar problem here with a ābeach blobā in life, maybe the same cause: when Iām in the observation https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/165916173 I can look at the suggestions. In the ID module (reached from page https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/identify?quality_grade=needs_id%2Ccasual&page=60&iconic_taxa=unknown&photos=true&created_on=2023-06-06&createdDateType=exact, then click on the image, the page number might shift if people identify stuff that comes before because I filter for āunknownā) when I go to the āSuggestionsā tab of the ID frame and select āvisually similarā as source I get the internal server error as in the screenshot.
Thank you for reporting this! I noticed it about a month or two ago when I was going through and trying to help clean out the observations of āState of matter Lifeā from my state. I was just too lazy to file a bug report for it. :(
It happens consistently for me every time I try to access āVisually Similarā suggestions and the taxon is set to Life. It occurs consistently regardless of if the taxon was already set to Life when I visited the suggestions page or if I set it there from a lower rank.
I use Firefox.

Works for me now - I could ID it as Cnidaria with my knowledge
but CV offers

?
You have to use the suggestion tab from Identify mode to see the issue.
Iām away from the computer now, the android app offers me the same species (but being land-locked, I donāt know cnidarians unless they wave their tentacles at me or are clearly Physalia or Velella on the beach). I had put it into Beach Blobs, there are people who look into that project from time to time and ID stuff.
The bug was new for me because I rarely encounter observations marked as life that look like I can add something (mostly life seems to be created when somebody thinks a beetle is sick and IDs the fungus, somebody else says āno, it is healthy, thatās just dirtā and IDs the beetle) or similar situations (galls on plants caused by infections or insects, wilting leaves due to insects or old age, ā¦), or things that one thinks is a fungus and somebody else says slime mold (is there a project for that, akin to Beach Blobs?).

I am in Identify. I never use Explore.
Pull up an observation of Life in Identify (https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/identify?place_id=any&exact_taxon_id=48460) and go to the Suggestions tab and click the āSourceā drop-down:
Set it to āVisually Similarā and then after a few seconds you should get this:
No I donāt. I have used that workflow thru most of today.
Never hit an āinternal server errorā.
Well, shoot. Not sure why it doesnāt error for you too, but good for you!
I have found that I can work around the issue by clicking OK on the error message and then wiping āState of matter Lifeā out the taxon field, then suggestions load just fine. Not sure if that helps alleviate the pain for anyone for now.
Intermittent. I open in a new tab for the problem obs ā¦ there everything works as usual.
It is the Identify popup that trips.

Step 1: Iāve been doing IDās and have tried to load suggestions and have gotten this error message many times. Bummer!
