There is an observation in my Identify queue that won’t go away despite many attempts, including marking as read, clearing my browser cache, and so on. Is there a way to remove it? This happens via website in the Chrome browser. Here is the observation: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/17…

Looks like it was deleted but not actually removed from the search index. It’s been reindexed and is gone now.

21 of us have tried. @tiwane help please?

@billhubick what’s the URL of your Identify queue?

Sorry to miss your responses! I thought I had alerts turned on. The Identify queue URL is the following: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/identify?place_id=1921 Bill

here’s the specific observation in identify: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/identify?id=172549656 (it shows up for any relevant search parameters - taxon, location, date, username, etc. - in both explore and identify)

Yes, that’s the specific observation. Thanks!

Thanks, I can definitely replicate and asked our devs about it.

Wonderful. Thanks, @tiwane ! I agree this is resolved. Much appreciated.
