Photo acceptance for a record.

Submitted by cggmb2012 on

Hello. I am having trouble loading more than one photo when submitting a record. I drag my first image across to the photo box successfully, but when adding a second photo, the image expands and fills the screen instead of staying in the photo box. Is this an iRecord issue or a problem with my PC? Thanks.

How do I add a record for a species of beetle not officially on the current British list ?

Submitted by mike@meadbrigg… on

I recently found some specimens of the bark beetle Gnathotrichus materiarus (Fitch, 1858) (Scolytinae), which I do not think has yet been formally added to the British list.  They were found on cut timber in the New Forest, at a site several miles from where this species was first identified as an accidental introduction from North America from specimens collected in 2014 and 2015 (Inward, 2020; Journal of Pest Science).  

How to Rely to a Forum Comment ?!

I seem to have tried and clicked all available options but just can't fathom out how to reply to a comment. I've never encountered a more confusing user interface (and I used to work on FRTRAN in the 80's with punch-cards).

There's the added confusion of the security (I'm not a robot) entry and a Preview button then a Save button that overlays a Reply button and lots of New Comment and Subject buttons. What on earth is going on with this page, I just want to reply to a comment.
