Hi @CarbonAI .. I've enabled the ML robot for Scorpionflies and Hangingflies, but it was unable to recognise this one and several other Harpobittacus australis even tho there are 128 sightings. Interesting, since it was so good with butterflies.

Cool @michaelb - when did you enable it? I've just had a look and it hasn't done any training on these categories yet. I'll kick the job off now.

I enabled it last night, it should be trained up. The box is ticked for the category.

Ok good stuff @michaelb - I have been manually kicking the job off still, and I forgot to last night HAHAHHA. Will schedule it today to not need me to kick it off. It's training now... (may take an hour roughly).

Ok Aaron, will try again later. PS You don't need to say @ michaelb when it is my sighting or if I am already in the conversation. That generates 2 email alerts.

Ok got it. I would almost consider that a bug. If mentioned, then one of the emails should be suppressed?

Maybe, if you wish, but not urgent. Some people are unaware of the rules for the conversations on sightings & commonly use the @xx when not necessary. The same rules would apply to the announcement page.

The habit is becoming more common, if fixed it might reduce the number of emails getting sent a bit.
