Yes - I don't know why these are loading as unidentified when I selected species for them? except the weird green thing

Hi Jason, the way the system currently works is that the ID anyone selects at the point of upload, comes through as a "Suggested/Pending ID" until one of the moderators for the area "Confirm" it. So this sighting is pending as "Suggested: Yam Daisy" and basically it will just get "locked in" once a moderator verifies the sighting and clicks the confirm button. Originally, we used to allow the sightings to be updated directly at the point of upload, but then mostly I was guilty of not having enough knowledge and I was making some wrong ID/guesses, so we implemented the workflow/approval system to ensure every sighting is at least reviewed by one other user. I hope that makes sense etc. Perhaps, I need to improve the way this is displayed, to make it more obvious that is "pending an ID confirmation" at the top of screen or something? Cheers Aaron.
