another alternative is to do up your family tree in FTB, publish to your site - export to gedcom and import that gedcom - that way i believe that all members can edit the tree
A member of the tree has the wrong photo. i followed the instructions to click on the members in the tree and select the options dropdown. The only thing that shows up there is "View this persons branch".
Some profiles show the Change Photo, but many only have the View Tree.
On the top of the photo, I get the option to delete it, but when I do that it does not work.
I am site manager. Should I not be able to see all the options???
This ia Linda Shea ! = Linda's Stanley/Taylor web site & my other site= Linda's Taylor side They now belong to my Cousin= The Stanley one & the other one=Linda's Taylor side to his daughters site since we accepted each other as members !!! Help!!!
When you created your Linda's Stanely/Taylor web site and Linda's Taylor site you registered with an email address. You need to make sure you are signed in with that email address in order for us to recognize you as the Site Manager of your sites.
At the time you wrote this post you were not logged in with the email address that is registered as the Site Manager of the above sites. This is the reason you didn't see them properly.
Make sure that every time you visit your family sites you log in and every time you finish you log out so that no one else will accidentally use your account and you won't accidentally use someone else's account.
Well this is just a detail. Say a feedback. My genealogical pages look like a funeral notices collection. Personal cards in a family tree and photos of all of my ancestors (ok, those dead only) are set out with a black ribbon. One hundred years for keeping a grief is enough , isn't it? Deeper into the past I go the black ribbon is lesser and lesser adequate to my sentiments.
Ros, I SO agree with you. Nearly every member my site prefers the Classic view, but it has a number of glitches in it. No matter how many times I have asked MH to do something, their pat answer is "we have decided not to further develop the Classic View". A frustrating answer. Classic view is far superior, and much easier to move around in!
The 'View Profile' button for each individual can only be found when using the Modern View of the tree. Or can it be found using the Classic view - and if so, where is it?
Are they working to improve (fix) this? Entering families is easier on classic view because everything is condensed and easier to see, but harder because you cannot get into the profiles. Especially because the basic form has lines for dates and not places. It just makes everything hard to use. I end up not puting in places although I have them because it is too difficult. You have to switch between classic and modern and sometimes it loses your place. You also have to be in modern view to add a second spouse. This is one of my biggest complaints about the sofware. It is hard to use, so I am entering less data. Or am I using it wrong?
Thanks for the new Web Profiles. However, I would like to mention the following:
the word "death" was translated into Dutch into "dood". "Dood" however stands for "dead", not "death". I think this is an inappropriate translation. Especially for a former POW who died at the Burma/Siam railroad during WW2. Would you please look into this? It should say "overleden" or "overlijden", just like you used on the family tree pages.
