I opened up my Family Tree builder program and for some reason the screen is stretched in the program. So I can't see the bottom of the screen. It is under my tool bar somewhere. What can I do to get it back to a normal size. Even if I make it full screen i still can't see the bottom.
An application is supposed to adapt to the display resolution - NOT VICE VERSA. I have a 1280x1024 display. That is the maximum resolution it can handle, and the only resolution that gives good results. If I click the standard "full screen" button, Family Tree Builder grows too large for either dimension. I have never seen another wondows application with this problem.
Can you please let me know which screen you are using (size and if it is a netbook, wide screen etc.), so I will be able to better understand the issue?
The problem occurred the first time I ran FTB 5.1 (and persisted through that invocation). However, when I have run the program since then, full screen works fine. So, I can't reproduce the problem.
I am running on a 19" 1280x1024 display. It's Windows 7 64-bit, and the display adapter is an ATI Radeon HD 4250 (part of the motherboard chipset).
whenever I insert a picture or
certificate in the tree, when I save the project at the end, not only does
it save it on the project tree, but it puts duplicate pictures of every
picture in the tree back into my photo files.
I have the same question, for I have an enormous number of duplicates in my photo files that I don't dare to get rid of, because I cannot tell which one is being used.
I'm just trying out MyHeritage to see how it works. I added some of my information and exported it as a GEDCOM to make sure I could get my data out. Then when trying to import that GEDCOM file to another site to test it (ancestry.com), it says the GEDCOM is not valid.
I have some info in ancestry.com but they don't appear to allow you to export to GEDCOM (a requirement for me), but if the GEDCOM exported from MyHeritage is not valid, I have essentially the same issue.
The Gedcoms that are exported from both MyHeritage.com and Family Tree Builder are standard Gedcom files that should be accepted on sites such as Ancestry.com.
Have you contacted their support to ask them if they accept standard Gedcoms from other sites?
I am also having the same problem. I maintain my tree on myHeritage & export it ancestry to search for records. It has always worked in the past but suddenly has stopped working since upgrade. I will ask ancestry for help to.
Error: The file you have specified (Newest gedcom try2.GED) does not appear to be a valid GEDCOM file, please try again.
We just had another user that had the same problem, and they informed us that Ancestry had a problem with their site that prevented the Gedcom from being imported.
Please contact their support to find out if the issue has been resolved yet.
I would like to add weblinks to my family tree that I created and published on my site using FTB, but there doesn't seem to be a way to do this. I have added many to my other family tree that was created online. Can someone help please, as this is a great tool I would like to utilise for my other tree?
Thanks Noam, I did see that feature for FTB, but that is for 'contacts' only, ie phone number, address, etc. The feature I am meaning is available on the website when you click on anyone's pfofile within the family tree (that I created from the web) you can add as many youtube clips, or any other web links relevant to that person as you like. This feature is not available for my other tree that I upload from FTB.
I just wondered if MyHeritage had plans to make it available for both publishing options.
MyHeritage seems to use a member's username rather his/her real name when displaying his/her actions on email updates. For instance, email updates will say "Andre965 did this and that", rather than "André Levy did this and that".
