The text file I normally use…

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.

Regards,

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

  • The specified file aavso.csv could not be uploaded.
    • Only files with the following extensions are allowed: jpg jpeg gif png txt doc xls pdf ppt pps odt ods odp.
  • The file did not upload properly.

UPLOADING OBSERVATIONS

Good morning...

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.

Can someone tell me the secret to logging off?

Thanks,

PKT

logging off

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!

Working on it

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...

Thanks for letting us know!

WebObs file upload fixed

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
