Description of problem:
Step 1: Go to the identification page
Step 2: Go to a observation (occurs on many)
Step 3: Click agree or add an ID
Doesn’t look like it, as this is on Identify and showed an error message. Looks like @theresephillips was able to add an ID, though. Did you have to go to the obseration page to do so?
Missed a few obs, then it settled again. OK now ?

It says - failed to save - but my ID IS there.
I’ve seen that a lot in the last 20 minutes too. Annoying (very!) but the IDs were actually saved, just as Diana reported.
Sorry folks, unfortunately we had a few brief moments of network lag at our cloud service provider, which led to some brief moments of slower than normal database replication. This can lead to problems like the ones reported here - errors on saving a record, but finding the save ultimately persisted. We’re keeping an eye on it, but for now everything seems stable.
Happening again.
TBH I’m in the process of learning to ignore the messages. :-)
