When I view my archived eQSLs a lot of them are highlighted yellow, but they are confirmed and are from AG members. What's going on here? Surely if they are confirmed and from AG members they should no longer be needed but already count towards awards etc.?

Anybody actually here on the support forum who knows the workings of eQSL? doesn't seem to much activity and err support doesn't actually seem to happen.

I'll ask my question again, here is how I work.

I get eQSLs in my inbox. I display them, click the button marked "check all confirmed", and then I archive the confirmed QSOs. If any need rejecting or manual intervention I work on those next and then archive.

But effectively everything that goes into the archive is a QSO that I have made, logged, uploaded and had confirmed. It is by definition not a needed QSO.

So why are some of the QSOs marked as needed? Needed for what?

I'd be grateful for an explanation or at least a kick in the pants that pushes me in the direction of some man pages or something that explains it to me.

Chris,
Have you tried using the Help! link above? I find someone from the support group responds to this sooner than looking through the new posts. I just looked at my whole archive and I don't have any yellow indicators. Can't even guess as to what's causing them. Do you actually need to manually confirm those QSOs? ie.: they're in your archive or inbox but no matching QSO is in your outbox? Maybe the dates or times don't match?
Good Luck!

No not tried the help link yet but I'm about to!

I have done some more looking using some QSOs with VP8LP who is just down the road as a test case. I have several QSOs logged with him and a couple show as needed. However they have been acknowledged, confirmed, read etc.. Very confusing.

I'll try the help link.

Thanks, 73

Jeff,

I got a msg to say that the yellow highlight indicated that that country is still needed on another band or mode. In this case all of my entries should be yellow as I only work SSB and have not worked anywhere on all bands, no 80m for example. I have pointed out that this is either the incorrect explanation or that it isn't working and this has been acknowledged and the issue passed to the webmaster for investigation.

Are you seeing the same thing?

I'm seeing the same thing and was going to ask about this when I found your original post - I like eSQL, but find this rather confusing - to the point that I've just mailed someone asking the check their log since the time differes between QSL by an hour.
