Scientific name overlapping with other information in project "Overview" tab

When I opened a project, two of the observations with long scientific names, (one with a subspecies) overlapped on the IDs and X minutes/hours/days ago.


This is in the overview tab, in the observations tab it looks alright because there is enough space. I read somewhere that I shouldn’t give links to projects or something like that, but if I can in this case, I will give it.

Maybe the number of IDs and date can be put on the next row, after the scientific name.

Also, is this a bug report? If so, I’m on a Chrome browser.

This is how it looks for me in Firefox:

But the times are different now so maybe that’s why they aren’t overlapping.

How are you getting “19h”, while I’m getting “20 hours ago”?

It is also overlapping in Microsoft Edge.

That’s a good question. I wondered about that too. I’ve never seen “hours ago” like you have - I always see just a number followed by “m” for minutes, “h” for hours, “d” for days, “mo” for months, or “y” for years.

I can’t explain it, neither did I know this was inconsistent. I can imagine one of you may be using US-en and one is using UK-en? No idea how else this would be possible

Which project is this?

This is the project:

https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/forest-hut-biodiversity-checklist

Also, is there a setting somewhere that explains why Shreedave sees “hours ago” while I see just “h”?

I also see ‘15h’

Does everyone see “Grey Heron” or “Gray Heron” here: https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/4954-Ardea-cinerea? I see Grey Heron.

Edit: Sorry, I removed the quotes

Can you share a screenshot?

What is your language setting?

Gr"e"y - seems to be stumbling over something like French acute and grave accents.

Oh! I don’t see any quotes around the e, just e, like Grey Heron. I was just trying to highlight the e, sorry…

Grey Heron is currently the global default name for the species

Grey with an E for English

Gray with an A for America

Which perfectly matches my ‘explenation’ to hours ago vs. hr.
An ‘inconsistency’ between the two languages.
A technical fix would be to remove ‘hours ago’ for the sake of space. I do like the full hours ago version though.

Divided by a common language - and I am neither English nor American ;~)

I think I remember there being a similar previous issue that was something to do with translations/CrowdIn/default text and different versions of English, but can’t find it right now.
