It was very frustrating for me not to have a way to let users know what was going on. And yes, I have to conclude at this point that the WhatBird forums will not be re-activated, although stranger things have happened there in the past.SirVive wrote: Fri Jan 16, 2026 4:19 pm 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.

I believe he(?) was a school administrator or principal. If anyone remembers what region of the country he was from it shouldn't be too hard to track him down.

Yes, I noticed that, but don't want to send to his work email.

Well that made it easy. 15 sec in I found a leader of a local Audubon walk by a similar name and by searching that found a photo and contact info within seconds. I'll PM you the info Kevin and let you reach out since you'll be more recognizable.
