Three hundred and sixteen days.

These are great ideas and the systems are obviously being used already in other programmes. There is one example above me as I write this; a smiley icon.  

Simple to use too. A set of those with different symbols and flags as suggested would massively simplify the work involved in keeping up a family tree.

Please?

I recently imported a GEDCOM file and ended up with duplicates of every person in my tree, which was realized too late to actually fix it. Now I am left with over 820 duplicate entries, some with more information than the duplicate copy.

 Adding on to the duplicate person tool, a feature where you could merge duplicate people would be nice. This way, you wouldn't be left to delete and move people by hand or broke linage, and you could select which information to change/move over/etc.

EVERYONE is repeatedly banging on about duplicates and reviewing other posts there seemed to be something in the pipeline to match and merge. Surely with all the smart matching etc and your fabulous face recogntion this would be a doddle to do for you talented guys?

I have just purchased an alternative product to do this for me but pulling everything out into a gedcom, downloading to another package, choosing the duplicates with the most information, deleting redoing a gedcom and returning to ftb (because I hate the other one) is also a nightmare. Not sure if I am losing information this way too.

So I'm with the OP, and when you do reply tell us WHEN WHEN WHEN! Set a countdown clock on your site, we are all waiting

I suggest a (premium ?) feature where you can copy relatives from a smart match. I have tired to illustrate it in the following attachment

Also it would be cool to have the details in the results as links. As it is now, the mouse pointer suggests it is, but it isnt. 

Thirdly: copy paste in the flash part of the tree is very sucky (shift insert/delete doesn't work for instance). The less Flash the better!

To get a smart match (which you need for a merge) you need more than a name, which is all that the parent smart match provides. Neither does it say whether the name is forename or surname which smart match seems to care about. The only way forward then is to try find someone with a reliable tree and compare the trees manually, which is to say it a bit careful; cumbersome

I have attached an image illustrating the problem. 

The explanation for not allowing copying of relatives from matched trees does not explain the negative policy.  MyHeritage could enable the feature and make it's use contingent on mutual consent of the managers of both trees. 

The current policy makes the long lists of "smartmatches" pretty much a nuisance for me.

I really miss the possibility of changing the look of the webpages.

 My suggestion would be customizable header and footer and a CSS controlled color management system so that one could have pages with a costumized look.
