How to Rely to a Forum Comment ?!

Submitted by MarkWebster on

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.

 

How to submit records when "submit" button is missing?

Submitted by kittycparker@g… on

I've just entered a list of records,  added the location to a 10 metre square, and put in  a couple of words of comments. All done and ready to go, but nothing happens when I press the "save" button. I've had the page up for a couple of hours now and made numerous attempt to submit it, but the process won't start. Has something changed, please? I have severely impaired hands and typing is difficult and time consuming, so I'm worried about losing everything I've entered if I navigate away from the page.

 

Habitats

Submitted by MarkWebster on

Could someone please offer me some guidance on how best to complete the "Habitat" section.

I'm a keen recorder and would like to add Habitat information that is of use to researchers but as a non professional I never quite know what to select.

Typically I'm on "nature reserves" in urban areas, so I'd have patches of woodland, patches of grassland, and areas of what might be called "scrub" with gorse etc.

Do I have to add all entries to one list at one time?

Submitted by JulesA on

Hi, I'm pretty slow at adding records and if I've caught a lot of moths and don't want to enter them all in one go, can I upload some and do the rest later? If the date and location are the same will they automatically be put together or will iRecord create separate them in some way? Thank you. 

 

 

Editing records recorded on the app as part of a survey

Submitted by CharlieLimaBravo on

I have records entered as part of a plant survey which have a error. In one particular case marked as sensitive in error. In another the grid reference is incorrect. How can I corect these? When trying to edit the records the only options offered appear to be either to alter the taxon name or delete the record.
