New category hubs now live!

Hi NatureMappers,

We're excited to launch new format category specific home pages aka "category hubs".

Category hubs are new home pages dedicated to each category in the taxonomy and their surrounding community of contributors and expert moderators.

Maybe you are into Butterflies and just want to hang out at https://butterflies.naturemapr.org/

If you love snakes, check out https://snakes.naturemapr.org

Or you could drill right down to https://orchids.naturemapr.org/ or https://true-flies.naturemapr.org/

You can now easily browse to these new category hubs by simply clicking on a category on the home page:

 

In the coming weeks, we plan to roll out this improved format to other key pages such as location, collection, species list and user profile pages to provide an improved experience.

PS - Brand new mobile app is just about live and we hope to have some very exciting news prior to xmas.

I've been playing with it this last week! I just keep forgetting to go to the mini top menu and click on Sightings there to see 'all sightings' rather than 'Featured Sightings' which is just the recently posted ones (if I click there sometimes there are none). There was another issue I experienced but I forget now what it was. I'll write it down and post at later date. Kylie :)

Love this idea. However, when I view a page as a field guide it renders strangely, with enormous photos...
