If you have someone's photos on Macaulay, you can work backward to the checklist and then their profile.
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.
