    It is an immature Spotted Sandpiper. They breed at this location.

    ... and in other news, I've started displaying as an Admin again. We have some issues at the moment; someone's working on them...

    Testing what name I display as when I leave a new post.

    EDIT: Looks like posts that I left during a certain time period are going to display under my other display name. Huh.

    I have noticed some problems with displaying profiles which have the name changed..

    1] When I click on that of your names, which has no spaces in the URL, it displays correctly: http://talk.chicagowildlifewatch.org/#/users/DZM but when I click on the other one, with spaces, it doesn't load at all: http://talk.chicagowildlifewatch.org/#/users/Darren "DZM" McRoy

    2] When I try the same with Grant's profile, it is different. The old one, with no spaces in the URL doesn't load at all: http://talk.sciencegossip.org/#/users/mrniaboc but the new one, with spaces, loads without any problems: http://talk.sciencegossip.org/#/users/Grant Miller

    I don't really understand the reason/intention why you guys have changed your user names and started using spaces in the URL (it's impossible to use @ for linking your profile any more! 😦) but OK, it is probably useful some other way for you.. But why it behaves differently for your profile and differently for Grant's? And why are not both old and new profile names connected and displayed as the same profile? When I display the page with Grant's new name, I can see all his old comments there, displayed with the old name! So it seems they should be connected as a single profile but they are not. Very odd.

    This is a screenshot how Grant's new profile displays old comments sent under the old name (notice his names where the red marks are). And here is a screenshot how old name profile displays

    Here's a screenshot of the console errors.

    OK, I was told it is just a glitch with displaying names wrongly.. but it's impossible to visit profile pages from the profile names displayed with the previous names, which is bad. Not sure whether the PM works with the old names or not either. Someone should fix that.

    I'm afraid we're unable to send PMs addressed to the original profile names since it doesn't offer them at all like if they didn't exist. I find it a problem.
