Hi Esther--I just got a request from one of my site members to show birthdays of selected deceased people on the calendar of events and noticed this Forum chain. I, too, checked 'All people' and of course only get living ones. Perhaps an option could be added in FTB to show a dead person's birthday?
I have an empty familiy album that I can't delete. It says that the album cannot be deleted and that only the photos in it will be deleted. How can I get rid of it? Thanks.
That sounded promising. However, I'm afraid I had the same message. Album cannot be deleted. I've tried to add photos again and then to delete it again, but that didn't help. Fortunately I can make the album invisible for guests, but I would like to do that for members as well. Any more sugesstions? Thanks again.
I tried to check your site to see what the issue was. Unfortunately, there are no longer any photos at all on your site?
I have a feeling that the album you were trying to delete was the album which is automatically created when you publish your family tree with photos from Family Tree Builder.
If you publish from Family Tree Builder and there are photos in your tree, an album named Family Tree Photos is created. This album indeed cannot be deleted.
However, there are alternative ways to preventing your members from seeing photos:
If you don't want photos from your family tree to be published on your family site, use Advanced Settings in the Publishing menu in Family Tree Builder to publish without photos. (Or build your tree in Family Tree Builder without photos)
If you want to have photos on your family site, but don't want your members to see your photos, go to the Settings > Content menu on your site and hide the Photos&Videos page.
If you want to make a single album private and viewable by you only, go to Photos&Videos > FIND and click on the album to view it. Then click on Edit Details. Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and in section "3. Scope" uncheck the DEFAULT box. Change the album setting to "Personal (me only)".

It doesn't appear that the option to set an album as "Personal (me only)" exists anymore. Is that true?
Indeed, I saw the photos were gone. I can remember I did an upload from FTB without the photos. This probably causes them to be deleted rather than to be synchronized. I understand my mistake now.
After a second upload from FTB, now with the photos and albums, I had two albums with the same photos. I now deleted the second album and renamed the one I've had problems with yesterday. This worked fine. It now looks great again: http://www.myheritage.nl/site-photo-albums-71894601/visscher
The thing that confused me was that there are several ways to organize my albums and photos: directly on the web, via FTB or both (which I found out to be rather risky). That won't happen to me a second time.
I would like to change the welcome message of the start page a little bit. I noticed the ability to use pre-defined text to insert into my message. Is there a list of pre-definitions available that I could use? Thanks.
Is it me or is the site events section some kind of buggy? I made the settings I would like the events to appear. When I'm logging in, everything seems ok. The list shows how it should. Guests, however, only see the Dutch national celebration days (that option has been unchecked anyway). Only rememberances seem to display corrrectly for guests. Please help?
Something needs to be done with the Dutch translation of numbers: 75de should be 75ste, 115ste should be 115de et cetera.
When I'm logged in as a member, there is no problem. In that case everything look fine; I can see all the birthdays et cetera. However, *guests* don't see what I see when I'm logged in. They see a list of national anniversaries, although I unchecked that option in my settings. They also don't see birthday's of my family.
In the "classic" display of my family tree in the family pages actually I can only see one half of my ancestors, either the male or female side, while the other half is replaced by the "green leaves". When I click on the leaves the branch appear, but therefore the other disapear. In the past it was possible to see both male and female ancestors at the same time. - Interestingly this behaviour is not the same for all persons in the tree but only for some. I don't see any system in this. Is this intenionally or is it a bug???
Hi, I don´t know what I have done but suddenly I can see in my family tree (on-line, I don´t use family tree builder) only me, my parents, their siblings and grandparents, but the ancestors of my grandparents are not visible (the "green leaf" is missing).
As well as on the left side, at the list of names, only a few names are seen (it is written, e.g. 80 persons of 600) - where is the rest, that 520 names? What do I have to do to let them appear? Thanks a lot for your help. Andrea
