Hi,On the top right hand corner of the section there is a link ' Edit this page' Click on the link. Here you can edit the message that shows up on the page. Change the text <Most popular last names in the family tree> to show the names you wish (or change the entire message altogether).Shalvia
Was trying to find out why I have copies of the same photos on the family page..took a look at the Photos folder for the Tree Builder and see its large in size 10 meg and there are many copies of the same photos in there. Is that needed?
The reason for the duplicate photos you see is that FTB creates thumbnails for each photo you include in your tree. These thumbnails facilitate easier, faster loading of your tree.
If you look at the size of these thumbnails, you will notice they are very small. Most should be around 15kb.
When I looked on my hard drive I noticed that MyHeritage – photo folder and an extraordinary number of photos stored. Mega number of copies of each photo. I deleted them and discovered that I lost my photos. Now I again have 1000’s of extra photos. Why is this so? Can I delete some of them? I understand that your programme makes 'a' thumbnail of each photo, but I have 6 or more of each photo. Why so many? Maria
FTB normally makes two thumbnails from each photo you add to the tree. You can tell which are the thumbnails because they have AUX in the file name. The original photo is the first with the thumbnails coming directly after.
If you have six copies, check to see if those photos are also personal photos for people in the tree or if you added the photo twice by accident.
When you create a personal photo two thumbnails of it are created as well due to the fact that the personal photo is used in many places such as charts and reports.
If you delete the copies, yes, you will lose photos in your tree.
Thanks for letting us know about the inconsistencies you are experiencing.
I'll have the tech team take a look at it from our side.
In the meantime, please go to your family site and check under Genealogy -> Family Trees to see how many trees are listed there. If you have duplicates, please delete the oldest ones.
This should take care of the problem without losing any information as long as you published WITH photos the last time you published your tree.
If not, go ahead and delete all the trees and then publish again making sure to include photos.
Let me know if you have any success on your end. I'll keep you posted about what the tech team finds out over here.
Display of photos on Immersive Family Tree seems to be hit and miss now days...some times we go to the site and all is good some times we see it and the names are all there but no photos?
On Photo Albums, the default is 'Thumbnails' - On this view there are albums automatically created of some (not all) family members beneath the section: Photos of Family Members, but once changing to list view, these albums disappear which is fine because it doesn't automatically create albums for all the family members. My queries. Can these 'Photos of family members' which is created automatically in the thumbnail view be removed?
ps: I have noted your responses to my other queries - thank you.
These should be bona-fide albums - if they are showing just thumbnails, something happened during the publishing process that prevented them from being created.
Can I ask you to download the latest version of FTB - yesterday an update of FTB2.0 went out...
Then try to publish again and let me know if you continue to have the same problem.
I was at Administration of calendar and changed the upcoming events to reflect birthdays of 'All people' - the page updated 'sucessfully' with now '0 events' - went to front page and all the upcoming events were gone - went back to admin calendar and changed it back to 'only living people' - but still no upcoming events???
The message says that I have to approve an uploader once, but the option doesn't appear for me to do this. I drag & drop photos but nothing happens when I click the upload button? pleae help
IE - I switched the pop-up blocker off, signed-out, rebooted - still there was no-change.
I try to search the msg boards before submitting a query, but when trying to open the 'found' item, the page jumps to the msg board of that query and then I have to back page-by-page to find the item again. So it's easier to submit a new query???
I have the platinum subscription and it says face recognition is supposed to be available on the website but I've never seen it anywhere. Where is it? Or is it 'coming soon'?
