OK, so the original bug here has been fixed - if you have set a filter which does not apply to the current taxon (eg Sex: Male for one taxon, and then load Kingdom Fungi, which has no Sex filter), you won’t be prevented from seeing photos. At least I haven’t found any cases where you see “No observations yet” even though there are observations that should load. If you do, please provide specific details.
There are a few kinks needed to be worked on, such as filters that should be “sticky” becoming unstuck, we’re looking into those.
