National moth night records update – success, but a slow process!

I finally managed to get my records in for NMN, but it took quite a bit of time, so this is a warning to anyone who hasn’t entered theirs yet! I found the best thing to do was to type in 20 or so records at a time and then send them in. Even then the system seemed to lock up again a couple of times with error messages and I lost the last batch of records I’d entered so I had to do it again! This has to be the worst record entering system I have ever used, give me Mapmate any day.
I think I will be contacting the organizers of the web site to comment on the system – if I was someone less patient I wouldn’t have bothered sending in my records which would have been a loss for the event.

    Interesting to hear of your experiences Neil. I have three sets of data to enter and have yet to begin the process!
