How do I...? and other questions

I am unable to edit a record - the edit 'button' does not appear ? I am wondering why?

Same question again as previously

The editing form does not have a field for "Recorded by"

How do I read the non-maths CAPTCHA characters

Any replies I try to make simply delete all my text

This makes this forum unusable in order to ask questions

Is there another means of making enquiries

On iNaturalist I've posted images of specimens in a collection I possess.

There the recorder has to be registered as me. I can add a note there to say who the original recorder was.

When the record comes through to iRecord it still shows as me as recorder.

I was 1 year old when Leonard Kidd collected that specimen

How do I change the name of the recorder?

The font size on the verification page is too small for my ageing eyes and I'll soon have to cease verifying marine molluscs if it cannot be increased. (I'm the only verifier who does much for whole UK). I have tried reducing the number of columns shown but to no avail. If I increase the screen resolution on my PC to more than 68% the map and comments on the right overlap the columns in a jumble.. Can anyone help please

I used to receive email notifications of changes, such as verifications, to my records. However, there are recent verification 'acceptances' that I dont recall receiving.

I do not wish to receive notifications of changes to UKBMS records.

How do I set the system to send me email notifications of any changes to my records, excluding UKBMS?

Or could you possibly set this up for me.

Thank you

I have uploaded several photographs and created records and pressed save but they are not coming up in the list of "My Records" and they are not appearing on the site. Does that mean I've done something wrong or is there a delay in records appearing? I've done one today  that doesn't seem to have worked and one a week or so ago.

How do I undelete notifications which were deleted in error - could anyone please advise.

Hello, new here, so I'm still getting used to the database.

I have created a new activity and wanted to link some records I have been submitting, to it (I have been adding records one by one, but they are part of a survey).

However, I have been looking everywhere for any option to do this, by opening the records in de 'edit' mode.

Is this at all possible to do? Or do I need to delete my records and start it all over again, to link them to the activity?

Any help will be very much appreciated!

Many thanks!

Alexandre

My understanding is that iRecord uses the UK species inventory list, while the Botanical Society of Britain and Ireland uses Stace 4.

Many of the species names are the same, however occasionally they are not (e.g. iRecord uses Phyllitis scolopendrium for Hart's Tongue Fern, whereas BSBI uses Asplenium scolopendrium).

I need to convert iRecord data to BSBI/Stace 4

There must be a way of checking and converting.

Can anyone suggest how?

thank you
