IJWTS is anyone else unable to view their profile/visitor messages? I haven't been able to since lastnight and it's getting uber frustrating.
They're undergoing a lot of changes. Pauler made an announcement about it the other day.

I would just like to say that using the autonumber function in order to apply a unique identification number to sightings was perhaps the most well intentioned silly thing in the world considering how many volunteers of varying technological skills are left to their own devices when it comes to putting data in. In fact someone really should've considered the fact that people can and will decide deleting records is a far better option than actually leaving a note asking if someone can hop along and correct them, which seems logical, unless you know how the autonumber function works and are quite aware that the particular version you're using does not reset itself after compacting and fixing it requires far more effort than is needed for something that just needs to be identifiable, and then people get their brain in a twist because they cannot comprehend that the sightings numbers do not need to be sequentially in order providing we can link effort lines to them, which also results in staying behind three hours after work ended in order to renumber the paper copies, leave a nice note for the next person on explaining the anonymous deletions and the number gap, and then making a nice sign reading "do not delete records" to blue tac on the computer screen, it's wonderful.

IJWTS for those who had difficulty following this, here is what she's trying to say only reworded slightly better.



I in regard to exactly putting the data on no human volunteer of change of technology when perhaps autonumber function that you use in order to apply the identical number which is unique to sight it thinks of the foolish thing of good intention of the world whether you go away to itself device, desire the fact that was. Actually really someone should've is possible with the people, deletes and autonumber function how works, version you of the thing specification which it considers thing, is rather understood; Whether if you have not known, rather than leaving the note which you ask whether or not the fact which is and decides, kind of someone who really is logical it flies through record, can correct those as for directly good selection; If using rhenium, after the crowd connecting the effort line re-do not adjust that itself and, we to those, it can go, if book-reading of the sign to which the number of sights explains the deletion and several gaps of anonymity, is splendid; rather than and it originates in making being of the twist which because the necessity to be one after another in order cannot understand the fact that it is not exactly something which has the necessity to be verification possible and then necessity for the people obtains the note which for the following person who is left is splendid brain by the fact that 3 hours later which work ends in order to do again to mark number to the paper copy it is restricted them much it requires many efforts that it locks that records. You do not have to delete; In tac where the computer picture is blue, it's splendid.

let me guess. You're using Microsoft access. Abandon all hope all ye who attempt to maintain consistent data in a multiuser environment with Access.

Is anyone else having difficulty looking at their own profile or User CP? Every time I look I get a "Database needs prayer" page...but only when I click those links - loading the message board itself presents no problems.
