Description of problem: the upload button is not showing, started about 12 hours ago
I have powered down and up, changed the page size format, logged in and out, moved between pages but no change. Same problem using Firefox.
Step 2:
Step 3:
Try again. I uploaded a lot of observations after iNat came back up.
No change
Try using inaturalist.org the upload button is there in Firefox.
uk.inaturalist.org : I cannot get into that site from Firefox, it just endlessly loops at the cloudflare verification page. I tried Edge: there I can get to the page even though the cloudflare page takes very long. The upload button appears on Edge and it on clicking takes me to the upload page. @phma were you on the UK page?
Thank you, but no button on inaturalist.org either
your screen is smaller than the page expects. recently, the iNat overseers began testing some new mobile-friendly dynamic layouts for various pages, and you may want to opt into that test. try going into your account settings, and under the Account section, look for a Test Groups section. join the mobile-friendly mode test, and then refresh the page. you should get a new layout that should work better on your small screen.
if you’re not willing to opt into the test or the option isn’t availabe, i think your only other option for now is to decrease the size of the elements on your screen. i’m not sure how Apple handles that sort of setting, but i would expect therre to maybe be a display zoom setting or maybe a display text size setting. alternatively, maybe the browser itself has a zoom setting.
Thanks for the report! This is actually a bug introduced yesterday caused by a change that was supposed to remove the upload button on smaller phone screens to prevent the header from overflowing. As a unintended side-effect it removes the button whenever the header goes off the screen, which can be at larger screen sizes. As @pisum mentioned, joining the mobile-friendly mode test group helps this, because it reduces the chances of the header going off screen. However, the bug still exists in that test group at a small range of widths.
We’re working on a fix, but for now you can join the mobile-friendly mode test group, then increase or decrease the width of your browser window and it should reappear. Alternatively, you can use this link for now: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/upload or https://uk.inaturalist.org/observations/upload
Just checked.
While the button is missing, if you click on your profile in the drop-down menu there is an ‘add observations’ option that’s not there when you’re accessing via a laptop or desktop.
Looks like since the screen is not the right size to display everything it moves the ‘add observation’ option to that menu instead.
Thank you. Decreasing the elements size didn’t work but the upload button did reappear on joining the test group.
Thank you. Yes, joining the test group has resolved the issue.
Thanks for the suggestion. Joining the test group has resolved the issue.

I use the website to upload my sightings, and I’m suddenly not able to do this on my mobile
I’m moved the above three posts to this existing bug report which has a solution
Thanks for the bug report and solution all! I’m on a weird set up where one monitor renders in one dpi and another in standard. Just needed to decrease my zoom with ctrl±.
OK, a fix for everyone has just been released.
