Topic: Grid ref to VC

I used to find the converter at https://www.cucaera.co.uk/grid-ref-to-vice-county/ extraordinarily useful.
Paste a bunch of comma-separated grid references into the top box and you'd get a copyable list of VCs back.
Great for data extraction work like that I'm doing on Steve Falk's records.
The site has now flipped to "text-only" which I'd normally put down to my cache, but clearing it has no effect.
Any advice please?

I'll try and fix it tonight ;-)

In the meantime, you can use the raw URL if you want eg http://grid2vc.cucaera.co.uk/?r=SU1561

Re: Grid ref to VC

Thanks for doing that Charlie. I hadn't realised that you had developed and authored that.
I guess you don't get much feedback from users. A number of Diptera Recording Schemes are finding it very useful for the project above which we took over from BRC; detailed at https://micropezids.myspecies.info/node/307
Best wishes
