General discussion about wildlife recording and about records on the site

Trying to view records via the map - simply impossible!

Submitted by HeatherC on

I'm trying to do something I thought would be simple.  I wan to view all records on the map so I can see where in my general locality there might be areas where no-one is recording, which might be interesting to visit and do some recording.  Apart from the fact that the map is excruciatingly slow to load and the detail keeps vanishing when I zoom in and out, it's virtually impossible to do what I want to do as there are a few records where someoone who does not know how to use the national grid system has recorded something in a whole km square, or in one case a 10 km square!

iRecord for formal survey

Submitted by BDeed on

Hello!

Just looking to pick the brains of the general community. I have recently started a new post which will involve survey of local sites. I really like iRecord and wouild like our new data collection to feed through it as a system. My previous post was with a LERC where i had some experience of using Indicia to design datasets and front end forms.
 

I guess my question is can anyone suggest the best approach, what do others do?

iRecord performance at times unbearably slow

Submitted by Snowdome on

Is it just me or are others also suffering very slow performance of iRecord? In the past I would start typing in a species name and the choice of species to select would be there almost immediately. But now I can be sat here waiting for several seconds at a time and this makes entering records very. The other day the servers were taking so long to reply that I was ending up with a message that the site had not responded in time. To me it seems the performance is heading downhill and getting worse.
