I have decided to start this thread for discussing technical issues that come up rather than messing up the other threads.
I guess the first issue seems to be pasting Word text into posting boxes.
Recently we have had three threads lockup up as a result of posts involving Word text.

That is just one point scylla, I can do that too as mentioned above. Just can't change them all at once.
Not sure there is a simple answer but would love to know if there is.
ChloeB & Tiger's Osprey Data
I have done as you suggested Chloe but as I also suspected, when you refresh the data it changes back to the original format. I am guessing it's only something that LG and the data handlers can change..i.e the contents of the KML file(must see what that is sometime ;-) )

I dread going there, BADGIE ;-D
Thank you CHLOE for the info, will have to put up with it :-) I wonder who in the first place thought it would be a good idea to make the dates an essay? Perhaps it's embedded deep down in the program.

The dates look like this in kml. This is part of Alba's latest data.

Sat track schedule Spring 2014
LG 7 days; RW & SWT nil; LDOP varies
Unknown said:One way to sort it is for some brave person to email the trackers and get them to alter the format ...good luck Chloe lol.
No simple remedies then.
This is the file for blue 44 in kml, the layout is unordered, quite different. But you can see they have done the dates differently from RSPB.
Thanks jsb. Yes I see what you mean.
Good morning all. I've created a thread that has turned out to be a duplicate - can I get rid of it?
On a more positive note, I managed to create two links today!
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
If you make a thread that you want deteled you can click the blue triangle and ask the mods to delete it for you. It does not happen quick but it does happen.
Thanks, Doggie and Tiger. How are you both today?
