when adding this sighting I was unable to do a search for the name to add, I had to do a suggestion for the name after the sighting was posted. This means doing it twice. Hopefully this problem will be fixed. Thank you in advance for all you do.

Thanks, I noticed that too when I was submitting a sighting, but I do like the new system of clickable links rather than drop-down lists. It just needs to go that one step further where you can actually select the actual ID. I've updated the sighting to just have your named suggestion, then the confirmation.

Thanks Matthew appreciate your help and also info on how to add a name. Have just added another message on the NatureMapr update. Is very clever what they are doing.
