Step 3: I got this error message, with shark :

I ate iNaturalist.org, that’s why it’s not working.

(Ack! Something went wrong. We’ll look into it soon or you can email us at help at inaturalist.org)

Im in Botswana using website and Windows 10 and Chrome in English and have had the same problem on Jan 15 24. I have not experienced it before.

Also If I go to a traditional project and click on ‘add observation’ I go to the ‘shark picture’ Since the two problems happen on the same day, perhaps they are related.

I can replicate on Firefox 134. Every observation I’ve tried (added today, added yesterday, added years ago) brings up the whale.

I can replicate. We’re looking into it.
