General discussion

I have been asked how data from iRecord should be cited when being referred to in an international publication. A reference would need to be clear enough that it can be recognised in perpetuity, just as a reference to a paper publication would be. The simple term 'iRecord' is understandable and accessible now, but in future if the database is accessed in a different way, or if the word 'iRecord' becomes used by other systems, it could be ambiguous. I doubt that 'iRecord' is copyrighted to the CEH, as 'iphone' presumably is by Apple.

If I add a comment to a validated record which is one of my records submitted as a group, does that mean that the validator has to go over all of the group records again?

I would like to send/post a "thank you" comment, but not if it creates unnecessary work for others.

Thanks

NB the google map shown for my site is out of date, the scrubland has been built on!

i am trying to add butterfly peacock also tried scientififc name but will not accept but it worked fine last week so i cant add my records?

The box to search the site seems to have disappeared - at least for me it has. Anyone else? Makes it hard to find things (e.g..past forum posts) that you know are there but don't know where to browse to. Can this be restored please?

I posted this 5 days ago in the Feedback and Suggestions section but no response yet so I'm trying here. I've tried to upload again this morning (21.03.2022) with the same error. I've copied my original post below...

Just checked my Data Summary and a couple of hundred records and a dozen species seem to have disappeared from the last time I checked !?!? Anyone know what thats all about.?

We had Chiffchaff in the woods this morning, I saw the first Sparrowhawk hunting yesterday evening (Not see one over the woods for ages) So we will be on the look out for Swallows. Its a sure sign when the fieldfares flock up in bushes and sing their farewells.

I have been entering historic data ie pre 1970s via the import spreadsheet option.

All is ok with dates after c1970s, but earlier than that I get an error saying the date is in the future.

I get around this by inputting dates by hand.

Is this a known problem and is there another solution?

We're being deluged by spam.  On the title page we read "Protected by Spam Master"; that doesn't seem to be working.  Reading Forum posts is now rather tedious ploughing through the trash.  I just had to state the obvious.
