Iv just added in some sightings from today and was starting to edit the comments in when I click update sightings I get this error below. These have also been added to the correct forum for addition to the database so I don't know if the 2 are connected with this error

Hi

were you trying to edit sightings that are red (ie not in the database) you cannpt edit/add anything until it is actually added as a database record

I get similar issues trying to add photos to red records

you will be able to do comments etc AFTER it has been added , but you will have to relog your sighting to the new record when it is added

hope this helps
