Ah, that's another great idea. If you find someone's embeds on the old forum with a URL like this:

Code: Select all

https://cdn.download.ams.birds.cornell.edu/api/v2/asset/648525448/1200
Just take that ID after "asset/" and stick it into this URL:

https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/648525448

Then you can click the profile link below their name, or the checklist link below that.

I found Texas Cobra on Flickr, if someone who uses that platforum can contact him.

I sent Texas Cobra a message through Flickr to let him know about the new forum.

I'd been missing it! Especially when I had ID mysteries or when my father-in-law sent me a picture of a nearly all white Bald Eagle. Clear back in the beginning I'd found an article/post that I thought might have a solution to the problem but I had no way to contact anyone. I managed to track down Avery but he didn't have any contact with the bigwigs either. I would try to open it every week or two in hopes that a fix was in the works but to no avail. Eventually I came across a reddit post by Kevin that led me here. Thanks for making a new home for those of us who aren't big on FB or Discord, etc.

Sounds like the decision was made to not reopen the forum but here's the article I found that mirrored my symptoms and error codes I was getting if anyone's interested.
