Thank you Aaron, and team for all the time and effort you put in to upgrading and maintaining this wonderful site. I agree with Alison I do miss the maps.
Also I have noticed that a number of "birds" and possible other fauna and flora are missing from "places" lists. I did a search on just 3 random Southern White Face, they were listed for Tennant, ACT, Tralee, NSW and Booth, ACT and when I clicked on the "place" they were seen at none of them were visible for that place. There are probably many more like this as it was just something I noticed randomly. Are the "places" sightings going to be updated? Is this a known problem? Just thought I should let you know, sorry to make more work. I thought it would be necessary to be able to see all the fauna and flora seen at each "place" when clicked on for research purposes.

I have been loyal NatureMapr for ten years and have absolutely loved interacting with it, as well as promoting it at every given opportunity. The early flow problems into ALA were fixed and the data has flowed nicely. Knowing that one's efforts are not wasted is massive in my faith in NatureMapr but to be honest, in the past year or so I have been very worried at the constant morphing and changing of the platform, and the overall durability/longevity of it? I hope the profound change you talk about here helps to stabilise the platform many of us love and utilise.
I also 100% understand the type of stress you must be experiencing around all this Aaron and I really hope that your grand efforts are finally rewarded by the financial stability and longevity of this outstanding platform. As the new season looms, I look forward to contributing earnestly to NatureMapr!

Thanks Aaron for the explanation. Not an easy decision, I guess, but I totally understand it.
Alison Milton (above) has mentioned that the abolition of regional lists will make it harder for moderators, and I agree. Is there any chance of a dynamic tool that would compile a species list, of any chosen taxon, recorded in NatureMapr within (say) either an administrative region (State or Territory) or a circle of any radius centred on any point, e.g. an area within 30km of central Canberra? I envisage that any list generated would not be stored on the platform.

I agree most Micrapatetis icela shown on iNaturalist are white rather than yellowish with a wider white band at the trailing edge, but the specimens shown on Bold (Hobern) are more yellowish with a narrower band at the trailing edge.
