How do I...? and other questions
Post here if you have any questions about using the site that are not covered in the 'how to' guide.
Finding notifications
I have a message to say that I have notifications but when I click on the link, there are none shown? Any ideas?
Media licence B
What does everyone else put for the media licence? to add your photos. I had a look at the list and none of it means anything to me. Help would be appreciated. Thanks
Thank you both for taking the time to respond. That makes it a lot easier for me to make a choice. Thanks again, Juliet
Vague date formats when importing data
I have a relatively large number of historic records (mostly 18th century) to upload. The records have been stored to a spreadsheet in csv format.
The records contain dates in various formats. Most are just the year eg 1857. A few have a year range eg 1880-1884 and just a couole have a secific date eg 21/6/1887.
Convert my data into an excel spreadsheet as required by county
How do I do this please? There is a .csv fie format mentioned which does not mean anything to me, sorry!
New phone app and photos
I like the new features of the phone app, including it using Google lens but my problem is that it frames the photo as a square and my photos are rectangular. The only way I can see to upload without them being cropped is using the irecord site thus losing the convenience of the app. Is this just me?
Incorrect species names
I have entered Parasola hemerobia against one of my entries. It has bee queried as not a current species. I have looked at the Basidiomycota Checklist Online. This shows that Parasola hemerobia is no longer used but its current equivalent is Coprinus hemerobius is the current name. However this is not on the iRecord list of species. What can I do to get it on?
Creative Commons Licences
How do I find out what creative commons licences are associated with my records and with my photos Thanks, Dick
