Yeah, that’s a tricky one. The RBN gateway relies on self-spots to correct situations like that, and when you can’t self-spot or correct your alert then it’s going to make mistakes.
I picked that bit of spot history mainly because it covers a fairly short time interval, and spots of the different activators were perfectly shuffled so that the spot-combining part of the compact display never got a chance to combine any spots.

Excellent that, I’ve often thought the active spots disappeared from the list just a bit quick when there’s a lot of activity. This is great

i would prefer a button (or something similar) where i can switch between the two different displays … also when i am not logged in!

Hello, it happend me too.
Today RBNGate posted “Tue 12:25 DL6AP/P +1] on DM/HE-393 (Posted by KU6J)”, but the REF on this time was the GMA-REF DA/HE-420 (German Mountain Activity). I already had left the Iberg (DM/HE-393)about 40 Minutes before and hiked to the neighbor-REF Orenberg (DA/HE-420).
I thought the RBN interface would only copy a skimmer spot to the SOTAwatch Spots if it heard “CQ SOTA” as part of the transmission?
i like the compact-view very much … but i can only switch when i log in!
is it possible to switch into compact view without having to log-in first?

The answer is - No.
The display options are part of your choices within your account, so if you are not logged in to SOTAwatch, how can it know? Why do you log out of SOTAwatch? Most site users stay logged in for months if not years.

so if you are not logged in to SOTAwatch, how can it know?
a button, link (or something similar) on the main page would be nice. so it would be very easy to change immediately between compact and normal view for guest-users and also for registered users without going into “edit account”.

A quick way to toggle between verbose and compact formats might be handy, but I can think of a few I’d find more useful (if time’s going to be put into SOTAWatch changes, but it’s coming up summer, so who’s for staying in working if the weather’s nice for getting out onto the hills?):
Fixing the “spots all go black between BST midnight and UTC midnight” issue.
Adding spot filtering of some sort.
Slighly more aggressive spot aggregation in the compact format.

Something a little odd going on with the compact spots display this morning. I’d have expected these three to be displayed as a single line:
Fri 11:02 EI/G4ASA/P on EI/IS-074 (Posted by SMS) 7.110 ssb
Fri 10:55 EI/G4ASA/P on EI/IS-074 (Posted by M0BKV) 7.033 cw
Fri 10:46 EI/G4ASA/P on EI/IS-074 (Posted by SMS) 7.033 cw
Obviously I’m missing something, but I can’t see what…

I don’t think that’s the problem!
In fact the mode and the frequency are the same for 2 spots and normally you get compressed spots when the frequency changes anyway.
What appears to me to be the issue is that it’s actually 2 different callsigns being spotted.
If you copy and paste the spots from Sotawatch into notepad you’ll see that when Dave spots via SMS there is an extra charachter (looks like t show up when I post here 
In reply to G4ISJ:

Ah! Well spotted! The SMS spots have an ESC (0x1B) before both of the / characters in the callsign, but, curiously, not one before the / in the summit reference!

In reply to G4ISJ:
What’s come in the SMS is:
EI%1B%2FG4ASA%1B%2FP
and that is URL encoded from
EI/G4ASA/P
I don’t know where the chars are coming from, probably fat-finger issues with phone keyboards. It’s in what I receive over the air. I don’t have Dave’s email address to hand and of course, he’s in Ireland now. If someone has his email address, drop him a line and tell him to contact me and we can figure out how to get him a clean callsign in the SMS spots.

Is it because I have been using a forward slash instead of a back slash?
Although I think that I have done this on all my SMS spots for the last few days.
It’s the Donkey wot done it.

There’ll be a simple explanation Dave. Anyway, there’s no rush but it’ll will be nice to find out what it is. Maybe you typed something, or maybe it’s how your phone is setup. Or maybe it was the donkey when you weren’t looking

The only other thing I do different, is that I enter all my Spots in my phone the night before but omit the summit reference number. Then when I know where I am going I just have to enter the reference number.
All my spots seem to come up ok on this computer.
Sorry I never made it to Geokaun this afternoon, the cloud came down and it started raining so a leg of lamb seemed more attractive than getting wet.
