Posting plant sightings can be unreliable #781

From b.g@gmail.com who was trying to upload a plant sighting:

I don't think it is the [image file] size. I have uploaded a couple right now. I think the page is just not reliable in its behavior. I used to be in software and have seen this type of thing in user interfaces I was testing before. The main issue I am having right now is in trying to get the Post button to activate. It seems like changing things in a menu sometimes fixes it. For example, just now I typed in Lexington MA as the location for a sighting and the button wasn't activated. Then I clicked on the red locator button on the map and it left Lexington MA as the location but now the page was happy and allowed me to post. On a separate note, is it possible to provide bulk sightings to you? I have hundreds of native sightings in Lexington for which I have images, dates, and locations. I would like to provide these to NPT too, but it's a bit laborious.
