"Grid is outside known range"

Submitted by J.M.Heap on

I recently entered a couple of hoverfly records (now verified) which initially came up with the standard automated "Grid is outside known range" message. However, both species involved were recorded and verified last year from the same locality. How come the now-known range does not seem to include these earlier records - or are they still regarded as mere outliers of a more contiguous range? Or, perhaps, it's a case of a time lag for records to be added to the 'known range'?

Determiner name

Submitted by pcb1154 on

I am listed as 'recorder' and 'determiner' in my records -but I haven't identified myself (explicitly) as the determiner -I thought this would be an expert verifier. How do i keep the determiner box empty? thanks
