How do I...? and other questions

How do I get my common records accepted as a Bumblebee Conservation Trust volunteer for the common species please? I have been trained to intermediate level and have been doing assisted Beewalks with the Bumblebee Conservation Trust and my own beewalks all year. As bees have a habit of moving it is not always possible to photograph them. I accept that for rare species very specific photographs are needed e.g. brown banded carder bees. For example today I saw 4 bombus terrestris workers - these get booked as bombus terrestris/lucurom due to known difficulty differentiating the workers.

I've been a member for 6yr.
My account details haven't changed.

However I can't seem to Explore My Records systematically see subject text. Only a few past records appear even using Include all records option.

If I go Explore All Records then apply my OS Grid Ref (SJ +(6 digit grid ref) as a Filter, I find all records for that specific location which are all mine, plus a load for SJ big square which are not from my 6digit OS filter.

How can I unify all my past records under my account user details to be Explorable as My Records?

Thanks.

Some times I see a message that says a specimen needs to be examined. What is the procedure to be followed for this.

Somewhere along the line I seem to have denied access to my photo gallery, and I can’t find a way to reverse this. I wish to allow access. What can I do please?

If i submit records using a standard iRecord form (or app) I can find the record and, if necessary, edit it.

Hello 

I am new to this app so forgive me if I have missed something.

I live and observe on the borders of 4 counties collectively known as West Wales or sometimes Dyfed. Would it be helpful to add such a designation? Also I couldn't see Ceredigion in the list of counties.

Looking forward to using this app.

Best wishes 

After entering species name and uploading photos to the i-record app on my phone the % match functionality has suddenly disappeared. If I click Get Species Suggestions on the photos the message "Sorry, request failed with status code 500' appears. Any idea how to fix this? Thanks. 

I've got several records that I submitted as general records that I'd like to now allocate to an Activity already set up on the Activities page. Some have already been verified so I don't want to delete them and start again, so can you edit a record to now include it in an Activity. Conversely I've also got some records already added to an Activity that I want to remove. Anyone know whether this is possible. Thanks. 

How can I make contact with a user with a cryptic user name?

A record has been entered in a location where I have an interest and I would like to make contact with the submitter for more details.

When trying to attach a photo with my records i get a pop up box which says "irecord.org.uk says file extension error" does anyone know why this is?  

All photos are sent from my Android phone to my email account and saved in folders

Thanks
