LOL Karol.... well you did and actually I had, but then my home help came and I got distracted.I think none of the editors noticed it was a new picture for Opus.
I'm not too sure what you mean by "creating a page" Aliks?I created a page
I thought I created the Opus page you linked to - my mistake. I don't see the Edit tab at the top of theat page - just the tabs View, View Source and History.LOL Karol.... well you did and actually I had, but then my home help came and I got distracted.

This is the link for the Golden Nightjar Opus page: Golden Nightjar - BirdForum Opus
Open the page fully by clicking on the main Edit tab at the top of the page. Please let me know if you can't see this, as a few people (we've never understood why) haven't had this facility added automatically.
Please do enter some text about what you did in the Edit Summary, which you'll see when you go to save the Edit. Nothing complicated just :
First image added, Missing Images category deleted
Would be all that's needed.
Re the Golden Nightjar, our guide in Senegal, Abdou Lo, knows the rough location they roost near Podor on the Senegal RIver. We saw them flying just after nightfall, but couldnt get a decent photo. The next day we carefully cast about under bushes in the same general area, and after an hour found a couple roosting.Hi Aliks
So sorry that you're one of the affected members. No, the only people we don't like to be able to edit are those classed as "New Members", until we're sure they are genuine, but this is only short term (5 days). It shouldn't apply to you, so I'll flag it up to Admin and hope your ability to edit will be added soon.
As I said, only a few members seem to be affected and we can't understand why this has happened. It all started with the move to this new platform, even I was affected LOL
I'll keep an eye out for you. May I thank you for finding this rare bird and putting the picture in the Gallery. Still don't know how you saw it LOL.
Hi Aliks... I hope so too; it's really annoying for us Editors when this happens to members who want to help out with this project. I don't understand why I couldn't edit Opus but Karol could ... life isn't fair LOLHopefully I can get editting sorted out as I have a few more missing birds to add:
Freckled Nightjar from Namibia
Golden Greenbul from Ghana
Gray-breasted Woodpecker fom Oaxaca (only a poor shot though)
Johanna's Sunbird from Ghana
River Prinia from Senegal
Gosh! That was a lot of work finding them. I'm glad you didn't disturb them to get the picture, we wouldn't really like to include pictures where disturbance of any sort had happened.Re the Golden Nightjar, our guide in Senegal, Abdou Lo, knows the rough location they roost near Podor on the Senegal RIver.

Not easy to get a perfect photo as twigs and leaves obscured them a bit, and we didnt want to disturb them by getting too close.
Yes, sorry, I was extrapolating because I think I didn't realise even though I did see it in the Gallery at the time of posting.LOL Karol.... well you did and actually I had, but then my home help came and I got distracted.
I think Andy Adcock asked about how to get to the location, too:Re the Golden Nightjar, our guide in Senegal, Abdou Lo, knows the rough location they roost near Podor on the Senegal RIver.
