Hi, completely new here. I am seeing other users add observations on my own, but no comments, only a tag “supporting”. Does this mean someone has concurred with my identification ? Should I be making these on others, if so where do I see observations of others and how would I add observations ? I …

Try this ? https://help.inaturalist.org/en/support/solutions/folders/151000552105 Find your way and settle in first? Then help us to ID observations from others. Your observation is getting identifications (IDs) from others. They may agree or disagree, or push back to a broader taxon.

Right now, post observations and pay attention to the identifications and comments you get from other iNatters. Pay attention to your dashboard, in other words. iNaturalist is a big complicated website. Few of us know everything about how it works and most of us pick it up a little at a time. Wh…

Welcome to iNat! First, I’ll echo what others users have said- don’t worry about figuring everything out, and don’t worry too much about making mistakes. I was using iNaturalist for years before I really got the hang of it, and I made lots of mistakes at first. Some quick starter tips: There are…

Thank you all for the lovely welcome. I am already active on eBird, and hope to expand this to other areas of nature via iNaturalist. The information provided is exactly what a newbie needs so I am a little surprised I could not find a newbie forum with all this !! Anyway, I have already reviewed e…

Welcome, @Thegeezer9999 ! I have nothing to add, really; @calvertm , @sedgequeen , and @DianaStuder have pretty much covered everything. (I’ll just add that @sedgequeen and @DianaStuder are both amazing people and really helped me learn how to navigate the site when I first started out.)

I have (today) come across one thing, happy to post separately but I think someone on here will have the answer. Using iphone app, I identified plant using ai camera then took non-ai camera photo - all good. But I remembered that multiple photos are better for an observation, but was then stuck in s…

It sounds like you’re using the newer iNaturalist app, which was only released relatively recently. I think they’re still working out some of the finer details to make the app more user friendly, although I have not used it since it was first released so I’m not sure how much it has changed. I just …

I will try this in future, but seems strange that you have to go through that rigmarole before you can add additional photos - the chance to take multiple photos could well be lost by the time you do this ? I am now trying to add additional photos to an observation via the website but again struggl…

You can also press and hold on the AI Camera button to see all observation options. Alternatively, you can turn on Advanced Mode in the Settings to always see all observation options.
