That fix did get deployed and the obs linked in the original post is looking ok to me now. Is anyone else still experiencing problems like this?

the reason is that the observed_on date is in the future which causes ‘validation errors’ meaning the observation can’t save or update properly (hence all the issues you describe) I know @kueda was working this week on fixing the root issue of observed_on being in the future which would fix this an…

[image] loarie: the reason is that the observed_on date is in the future I encountered this on Guam where the observation failed to upload a half hour after I photographed the plant. The error noted that the upload time was earlier than the observed on time. I used my Moto G6 Android cell pho…

My observation seems to be more broken than I thought, perhaps add this to the “This whole observation is broken” pile. The date displayed differs between screens: [Screenshot_20190622-075022] Suggests a May 2, 2017 date? [Screenshot_20190622-075050] Is what one sees when editing, and is the 24…

I’ve been having some sporadic similar issues… made two observations on the iPhone app (test version) and tried to upload yesterday. Googled the error I got and it said it was time stamp related. Changed the date to one day sooner and they worked. But for a while I had a “posted -10 minutes ago” (ye…

Definitely my fault. Regarding https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/13007413 , I have a fix committed, but I’m not in a position to update the site right now. Hopefully we’ll get that out there on Monday. Charlie’s error sounds unrelated, but to address that, as always, it would help to know exa…

i have a screenshot on another phone that shows a -10 minute date for an observation, but as that’s since changed i’m not sure it is of much help.

Correction: is anyone else still experiencing problems like this that can’t be fixed by faving and unfaving?

Faving and unfaving seems to un-RG the observation, but not necessarily fix it all the way? Such as this one that @JeremyHussell mentioned. Shouldn’t it be RG for subspecies now?
