This seems to happen occasionally with older observations. Not sure if it’s an issue on the iNat end or the observer’s end.

yours looks like a different issue.

Yours is a different issue, I get that when internet is slow but loads eventually or when page is reloaded

Yeah, this is related to an old bug that I believe has since been fixed so it shouldn’t have happened to any observations in the last few years (but please let us know if you find any new ones).

Unfortunately there’s nothing to about it aside from vote “No” for “Evidence of organism” if all the photos/sounds are like this.
