    1. Changes for transcribers
    2. Archer Barrie
    3. Two changes have been made to the upload routine that checks the format of transcribed files. These changes may affect transcribers and are as follows:<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> Where an entry has something like "See D/1865" in the page field this can now be entered as seen. A warning will be shown to indicate that it is not in the normal page format but this can be ignored in this situation. (Previously such a field had to be entered as three underscores.) For new uploads we will be further checking conformance with the Uncertain Character Format (UCF) definition (see here <http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/Format.shtml#UCF> ). This does not affect any file already uploaded unless it is uploaded again (i.e. replaced). We will now check that: * More than one character occurs between square brackets * There are no adjacent asterisks * Asterisk is not adjacent to underscore * Question mark appears only on its own Users of WinBMD should not be affected by this since WinBMD already makes these checks. The help files have been changed to take into account both of the above.
