ebird hacked? (1 Viewer)

[DMW]

Anybody else getting only Cyrillic labels on the ebird maps?!

It all looks fine to me.

Occasionally I see that in certain circumstances. I think it is just a bug. You just have to reselect English as the language.

Thanks. Never seen this before... I though it had been invaded!

The plot thickens. I went into Preferences, and there's no option for English...

Problem seemingly solved by clicking the little globe icon on the top right of the page and selecting English from the drop down menu.

All part of Putin's dastardly plan.

Weird... I have a similar problem with my Tom Tom SatNav in the car. When I select Favourites it gives me that keyboard.... not found a way to get rid of it, so I'm using the Garmin which I've had for years.

It started last year about this time.

It has been hacked: they changed my Bornean Swiftlet at Timpohon gate into Plume-toed Swiftlet...! By lack of photos (it was a very misty morning) and a good description, I fear it's a minus 1 on the road to 11.000 (the new 10.000).

I wonder if Peter K. got the same changes and if he can still count B. Swiftlet...!

I think it happens after you view a different language version of eBird (as via a search engine), and, then, when you try to open eBird the usual way, some cookies remember the settings from your previous visit. What one can do is either change the language in the main menu or clean the cookies.
