Build 41 is now available. fyi

Hi Neill, Ok - build 41 will have this added to the dropdown. That should resolve the ambiguity in all cases. Or until we find another new situa...

Hi Neill, Yikes. Didn't think about that. Hmmm. Let me dig into how I might resolve that. Stay tuned.

Update: Was on a customer system today running the Reconcile from Clements 2021 to 2022. And his system failed only when the first of the two checkbox...

Hi Mike, Thanks for posting. When you click on the link on the Taxonomic Downloads page for ABA 2022, it will download the file Birds-ABA-2022.exe...

Got onto Dan's computer today. The update to the eBird location data generates several thousand Internet API calls. On both attempts, one of those tho...

All righty. Fixed in Build 37. In 28 years this one has never happened. 😉 Good find Mike!

Hi Noelma, We probably had a misunderstanding on this one. But in either case, you can correct. Take a look at Features | Sightings | Orphaned Si...

@memmons Hmmm. Ok Mike. Please let me know if you see any more strangeness.

@memmons Yikes and GACK! Mike - can you try to reproduce that by running another backup and let me know. If you can reproduce that, please send b...

Hmmm. One more kink! Yikes. And Sorry. Please send me email at support@birdersdiary.com and include your phone number. I will call and then I can ge...
