Correctly display number of IDs in table view

[carrieseltzer]

I noticed that observations that don't have a taxon_id also don't display an observation count in table view. This happens when the user hasn't put an ID but someone else has.

Table view (shows no IDs, but it actually has one)

Observation page (shows someone else's id is already there, even though it doesn't display that in table view)

Would this be resolved by implementing #641?

Edited to add:
To see more examples (since that particular observation has an observer ID now), click on some of the observations from this search (old observations with photos from North America):

Hi Carrie, this isn't a bug, this is how the system was designed to work. Taxon_id kicks in if the obs user adds and ID or there is a community ID. Yes, #641 is a proposal to change this.

Ok. It just seems like table view should show that there IS an id on an observation even if the user hasn't added one. I'm all for solving this via #641!

sorry I thought you meant the taxon_id wasn't showing. If you think there's a bug where the ID isn't showing please include a URL, but keep in mind these displays are cached so changes don't show immediately

I do think this is a bug (and I think it's been this way for a while but I've never taken the time to report it). This might not need to be resolved separately from #641, but for the sake of documentation...

1. Click here:
   http://www.inaturalist.org/observations?utf8=✓&q=&search_on=&has%5B%5D=photos&quality_grade=any&identifications=any&captive=&iconic_taxa%5B%5D=unknown&place_id=9853&swlat=&swlng=&nelat=&nelng=&taxon_name=&taxon_id=&day=&month=&year=&order_by=observations.id&order=asc&rank=&hrank=&lrank=&site=&tdate=&d1=&d2=&filters_open=true&view=table
2. See that no observations have any IDs indicated in the table view.
3. Click on the first observation (http://www.inaturalist.org/observations/523) -- by Ken-ichi :-)
4. See that it DOES have 1 id, even though no ids are shown in the table view.

got it, so
http://www.inaturalist.org/observations?user_id=whalend&year=2011&month=10&day=29
at the time of this writing only shows
http://www.inaturalist.org/observations/37531
which should show '1ID' in table-view

This also has been fixed.
