    No problem, @Dominik-Niehaus. We’re aware of the spam problem and currently trying to wrangle it. I don’t believe there is a report function, but thank you for bringing this up to me. I will mention it to our team for future myFOSSIL updates. If you notice any other suspicious behavior, feel free to reach out to me, @Sadie-Mills, @mjones, or @macke…[Read more]

    Hi, @david-hanes – this was likely @mjones testing something as he is our primary web developer. He often uses a recently uploaded image to test various aspects of the site. Usually not on the live version though… I’ll make sure he looks into this.

    As @kcrippen noted, Max Jones (@mjones) and Eric Poirier (@epoirier) are the external web developers and they should be able to give you some more information about the AC wizard design.  To my knowledge, AC data capabilities exist but are not currently being utilized — that will be implemented in the future with a redesign of the Fossil…[Read more]

    @mjones, @bmacfadden : I am the  Convener of the TDWG Imaging Interest Group (IIG) and maintainer and leading architect of Audubon Core (AC). I’m trying to understand how myFossil provides and consumes, Audubon Core metadata.

    From github it looks like myFossil is built on WordPress, about which I have scant knowledge.

    @bmacfadden should be able to explain the intent of the Audubon Core Wizard and @mjones is our developer who can address any implementation question/issues

    @bmacfadden I agree with the idea that the FOSSIL app should allow people to take photos of fossils in the field and easily upload them to the myFOSSIL website. Like the Rockd app, I imagine the app could have GPS location functionality. This could help people determine from which strata a fossil is, maybe.

    Echoing @jbauer, I would want this a…[Read more]

    To me the “low hanging fruit” would be to snap a photo of a fossil (with a scale next to it) in the field using the myFOSSIL app and upload it directly to either (both): the “Fossils” gallery or “What is it?” forum. And to use the embedded GPS for location data, as well as other data if the user wants to provide this info (or not).

    I think this…[Read more]

    Thanks for the update @egardner and @mjones. I will let @bmacfadden know about the latest. I have at least 3 fossils ready to go and I am getting a whole box with new ones to scan. This is super exciting!

    How about incorporating a 3D rotation of the fossils? Like it is shown here:

    Hello, I was wondering when we can start uploading STL (3D) files to myFOSSIL? Also, since these will be uncatalogued specimens, I ask if you already have a procedure on the kind of information that will be needed for ID purposes? See first attached image of a horse metatarsal 3D file. 577,411 KB

    Looking forward to it.

    @mjones I’m getting an error message when trying to “Send feedback.”

    I was hoping to upload the png screen shot of the error message, but was not able to do this. The upload a file function is deselected. and when I select it, then there is no way to Post the message.
