I have a better and easier solution for you, that will avoid these situations in the future.
Throw away your booklet and begin to track every day what you're able to insert into the site instead of writing down the serials entering them 2 months later.

Another consideration: if you have time to write down serials why you don't enter them directly into the site in that same time instead?

Maybe no access to the internet at this time?

But i really support your other suggestion:
if someone has not the time to transfer the notes in an appropiate time from the written notes to EBT, its better to throw away the written notes!
See also "Rules & Guidelines"

As a guideline, you should enter the notes within two weeks of obtaining them, preferably as soon as possible.

Two months are a really long interval of time. No internet access for two months? That's really a lot of time!

Me too: instead of disparately looking for new notes that you have no time to track, just track you old notes still waiting.

I don't know where to write this: http://it.eurobilltracker.com/notes/?id=151008284" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

"Notes received on flights, trains, ferries, etc.
In such a case, you should not enter the note as originating from the city you just passed by when you got it. (This might be very difficult to determine on a boat or a flight anyway.) Take either the last stop or your destination instead."

EDIT: This obviously is a hit, but the location isn't correct.

Location must than be Barcelona, Spain. That is the place the flight departed from.

I fully agree that the location should be Barcelona in this case.

The question I asked in the other topic was honest and genuine. I'm sorry if you interpreted my question the wrong way. My response was primarily prompted by your topic bump, implying that the issue needed immediate attention from someone. That someone could have just as well been you.

In this particular case it's likely that the user simply didn't know how to enter notes that were received on a flight. Sure, the support people have the technical possibility to change the location to the correct place. However, it would be equally important to inform the user of the rules, so that the user wouldn't do the same mistake again. If someone from the support group changed the location, the user would not normally get any sort of notification about the change.

That was the reason why I recommended sending the user a PM: to let the user know that the user's way of entering notes is not consistent with the rules. If the user is not informed, the user may enter the next notes obtained on a flight the same incorrect way.

So, I went ahead and sent her a PM. She's Finnish so I wrote in Finnish, but English would do just as well. Here's the message I wrote (translated):

avij wrote:Hi, this message is about the note you entered: https://fi.eurobilltracker.com/notes/?id=151008284" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

The rules say that any notes obtained during a flight should be entered using either the starting or destination points as the location. AY3270 was probably a flight from Barcelona to Helsinki, so Barcelona would be a better location for your entry. The notes I have entered from the airport of Barcelona used 08820 as the postal code. Hopefully that's the correct postal code.

You can change the location by choosing the "Edit this note" tab from the note report. This allows you to change the city, postal code and country to the correct ones. Thank you for your understanding.

See, a kind and informative message, and anyone (including you) could have written a similar message. The goal here is to reduce the workload of the support group.

I know that in many cases it's impossible to contact the other user because the user isn't on the forum, but in this case she is registered on the forum, allowing PMs to be sent. For similar issues involving non-forum users, yes, posting on the forum makes sense.

One more thought to keep in mind regarding EBT: If you see something that needs fixing, please work on fixing it yourself if at all possible. EBT is still a community effort, and we need everyone to make this work.

I hope this message has cleared up any confusion that may have arisen from my previous message.

This user has entered about 74 notes in Ireland and obtained 3 hits with Finland giving a hit ratio of about 1 : 25.
It just isn't a normal hit ratio for Ireland but it is for Finland.

I had also my suspision, If you look up Dublin with Postal Code 5501, You end up in Australia.

Just turned on the computer and was disappointed to see these hits.
I am always happy to see people visiting Ireland and entering notes.
And I always wish you the best of luck, and hope that you go home with an Irish hit.
But you want genuine hits.

User johnson1966 has entered bunch of bills in Latvia , but I have serious doubt that these bills are brought from the Netherlands . These are not these bills you can easily find in Latvia , but in the Netherlands and Belgium and even one hit took place with the Netherlands .
So i guess that location of Latvia of these bills is not correct.

There's no way to find such a high proportion of Belgian fivers in Spain (and other bills, too)…

So it's possible...
