not sure if this is the proper place to post this, but i saw that previous threads on this subject had been merged into this one, i’ll make an additional note:
I uploaded a photo with ‘copperhead’ in the filename, and the species name field was filled automatically. I didn’t notice the lack of photographic icon and when I published the observation it was attached to an inactive taxon.
I tried again and the same thing happened, though clicking on the species name field produce a drop-down with the two taxa that were split from the original. Here’s a screenshot, the first observation is after I clicked on the drop-down menu, the second is immediately after dragging the image onto the upload page (with the inactive taxon selected).
