I am sure there used to be a scroll button on the text editing box which became visible when the length of the MS exceeded that of the display. I can no longer see to this and have to scroll by moving the cursor through the text.

Hello, Louise. I'm sorry to bother you with something as banale as the points regarded for the transcriptions, but they seem not to be updated after my latest suscriptions. Thanks. Diana

I have noticed that the ability to rotate the page through 90 degrees seems to have disappeared from the Flash viewer and doesn't seem to be an option in Javascript. Restoration of this would be valuable for dealing with marginal notes written vertically, which is how I noticed its absence. Also the link to the accumulated points total seems to have been lost as noted by Hannator71

Hi, I see that the recent transcriptions I uploaded have been accepted but I have not received any points for any of them. Has the points system changed?

Hi When I tried to edit manuscripts today (07/09/18) all I was presented with was a panel marked "Summary" alongside the image of the handwritten text. Am I the only transcriber to have noticed this? Keith

Hello

Thank-you for the update. I am sorry that I had a 'relapse' with the paragraph tabs. The difficult handwriting was quite a distraction.

Best wishes

Annette

Thank you for your kind words about JB/036/088/002. Most encouraging, as I am now deep in thick deletions.

Hello, I recently submitted the transcript of JB/098/202/001, which has been reviewed and approved. On checking the changes made by TB Editor and noticing that one gap had been filled, I was able to clarify a word which I previously noted down as unclear in the last paragraph.

As the page has now been locked, could you please edit the following sentence "Pour
non subtilité que l'on trouvera dans ce <sic>systeme" as "Pour
une subtilité que l'on trouvera dans ce <sic>systeme"

Many thanks in advance.

Thanks for the input and tips you provided in earlier reviews, they have been very helpful. I know that the Transcribe Bentham hackathon is taking place just as I write these lines. As I am unable to attend I would like to share a few ideas to make the platform more user-friendly. - add an option in the Preferences section to select Javascript display of the manuscript instead of Flash. Currently, mobile users have to click "Javascript" for each new edit. - add possibility to jump from page to page inside the same box. Currently, if I'm done transcribing one folio and want to go on to the next, I have to edit the URL or to go back to the description of the box. I hope you have a great Hackathon!

Hi Louise, It appears that JB/014/184/001 & JB/014/185/001 are duplicates.

Sorry for my mistake, I forgot to save the transcription of JB/013/006/002. I have transcribed it and saved it now. Thanks.

Thanks. It's great to get feedback for the first attempts. Thanks for the clarification about marginal notes in ink needing to be transcribed. That's a much clearer rule than the one described in the Transcription Guidelines -

specifically "If some marginalia is written in ink, and you are unclear whether it is a note or summary, you should encode it in the same fashion as marginal notes...".  Thanks for clearing that up.

JB/120/407/001 needs locking

I've been sent a completion message for JB/018/061/001. The credit should go to Keith Thompson.

Howdy, I'm trying to upload an avatar and when I click "Upload File" (the button) I keep getting this: "The www.transcribe-bentham.da.ulcc.ac.uk page isn’t working

www.transcribe-bentham.da.ulcc.ac.uk is currently unable to handle this request."

Please advise,

Thanks.

Hi, thanks so much for the feedback. I have a question: I am not a native French-speaker, should I not transcribe French content? What are the guidelines for Latin content? Thanks. Joe

Hi Louise - JB/120/278/001 needs locking. regards, Gill

Hi Louise - Many thanks for the blog and the generous acknowledgement. I feel inspired to carry on - in spite of some tricky folios at the moment!

Regards, Phil

Hi Louise - JB/120/257/001 needs locking regards Gill

In JB/001/361/001 I think line 4 should read: The first is
not probable.

Regards, Phil

Hi Louise, JB/120/579/003 appears to have been reviewed but needs locking

Gill

Thanks very much!

Hi

On travelling through London with a couple of hours to kill I called in at the Wellcome Exhibition Centre and was intrigued to see a piece of Jeremy Bentham's skin on display in the first floor gallery!

Clicking to edit MS JB/002/268/001 opens JB/002/074/001 which has been locked.

Please note that clicking on MS JB/002/655/001 to edit takes you to a locked MS JB/002/624/001
