My own observations of threatened taxa are obscured from me

Hi,

Please fill out the following sections to the best of your ability, it will help us investigate bugs if we have this information at the outset. Screenshots are especially helpful, so please provide those if you can.

Platform (Android, iOS, Website): Website

Browser, if a website issue (Firefox, Chrome, etc) : Safari

URLs (aka web addresses) of any relevant observations or pages: any observations or maps of threatened (i.e. automatically obscured) species.

Screenshots of what you are seeing (instructions for taking a screenshot on computers and mobile devices: https://www.take-a-screenshot.org/):

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: Open any of my own observations of threatened species, or Explore tool, or taxon pages

I don’t know if this is a bug or if everyone has this but I see my own observations of threatened taxa as obscured. This happens on any maps on the website for me, i.e. in observations, taxon maps, and the Explore tool.

If I open an individual observation page, then I can see that point on its actual spot, but all my other observations on the map are still obscured (not adding a screenshot of this because I don’t want the threatened species to be public here).

I understand why they would be obscured for other people, but it is a little frustrating to not be able to see my own points without having to click on each observation at a time.
