The text file I normally use to submit observations does not work any more. I get the following message:
Line Number 9: It looks like you have 1 fields which is not the correct number (should be 15). Did you use the delimiter character in your 'notes' field? Please fix this in the file before submitting.
The new website is pretty but is causing some headaches.
First, I can't see any mechanism to log off. This means that the list of observations submitted in WebObs will continue to grow, but with the most recent observations submitted at the very end of the stack.
Second, the new site is extremely difficult to use on an Iphone 6 for submitting observations. The feedback tab obstructs the input field.
Third, the calendar date appears to be off by a full day when the correct JD is input.
Lastly, how does one use the Feedback tab? I have no idea how to use this tool and there are no instructions, only icons.
We are keeping track of all the problems, so be patient.
We are working on it. The first day of the new website was probably not going to be a quiet day...

I too have the same problem, except that this is the message I see...

Can someone tell me the secret to logging off?
Thanks,

Hi,
Once logged in, the icon to the right of 'My Account' changes to an open book. Click that to log-off. It isn't obvious I agree!
Gary
Thanks Gary, and all staff for the quick responses.

Hi David,
Would you please send me (eowaagen@aavso.org) the text file you tried to upload and had the error message? Thanks,
Elizabeth

Thanks for letting us know!

Thanks for your patience.
WebObs problems should be solved by now.
Keep in mind that you can only upload txt, csv or tsv files.
Please test it, and if you have any other problem, let us know.
Cheers,
Sebastian
