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.
Uploading photos
Is there a limit on the number of photos that can be uploaded with a record? I recently posted a record of a dragonfly exuvium with four pictures but when subsequently exploring my records I noticed that only three of the photos are actually displayed. I tried to edit the record and it seemingly accepted the re-posting of the missing photo but in record explorer mode the picture is still missing. Is there a limit on the number of photos or is the limit on the amount of memory (I.e. can you upload more photos if the file sizes are smaller?). TIA
Name change
Hi,
I changed my name (legally, and on my iRecord account) a few years back, but I am still getting emails addressed to my old name.
Is there any way to fix this, or do I have to close my account and make a new one?
Thanks.
Downloading plant survey list
How do I download a plant survey list from iRecord so that I can email it to friends?
Adding multiple recorder names to a record
Hi,
When I enter a record the recorder name field is populated with my name in this format. Surname, First name.
As I was recording with others, can anyone tell me the format required when adding additional recorders names? I unable to find any guidance in the help documents?
Thanks
Matt
p.s. By trial and error a ; Seperator appears to work. But is that the accepted way?
Updating records submitted via European Ladybirds?
I recently made a bad judgement call on some ladybirds whilst out in the field and submitting live. How can I get back into my submitted records or who do I need to inform?
Thanks

Vice County not showing on recent records
The vice county is not showing on my most recent records, unsure why, but I do not have the facility to add it either. Is there a way to add this?
Searching for sites when adding records to an activity
I have created several site boundaries and included them in a single activity to collect records for them in a single place. If I submit a record to this activity myself I can search for the different sites by name on the record creation page. However, if other members of the group want to upload a record to the activity they are unable to search the sites by name, making entry much more difficult. Is there any way to make the sites I have created available to other members of my activity?
Records not appearing in activity
I have created a new activity for a nature reserve that we want to collect records for. I have generated a record associated with this activity but it does not appear under the activity records. It is showing in 'My Records' so I don't understand why it's not coming up in the activity?
Setting a site
We want to set our site in iRecord on our phones so that whoever uploads a sighting, the record gets collated with others uploading to the same site. However when I go to iRecord and search for the name 'St Paul's Church Camden Square' nothing comes up. When I put the postcode in - NW1 9XG - that postcode does not appear in the drop down. Can you help us register this site so we can start using it?
Thanks
