'Identified by' field in app not always available

Submitted by gecko18000 on

Hi,

If I want to submit a record of a species that I recorded, but sent to an expert for identification, I can input their name in 'identified by' when using the website, and sometimes when using the app. But for example I just tried to add a Sphagnum record, and the field for 'identified by' was not available. What should I do in such situations?

 

Many thanks 

Change the recorder name on an incoming iNaturalist record

Submitted by Darwyn on

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?

FONT SIZE, how to change

Submitted by Ian Smith on

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
