I love the 'Add family events' section on the LHS of the Home page. Shame it's so short! It'd be great to click on a 'See more' link to go to a page with all missing info on the tree.
Even better would be to also have on that page all the inconsistent and strange info, e.g. children older than parents, partners with 100 years in age difference, etc.
Part of our windows client application 'Family Tree Builder' includes a tree consistancy checker, where you can get consistancies as you described. You are welcome to export you tree through GEDCOM and import it there, and check your tree for inconsistancies.
Excellent. So you have the functionality already! I'll look forward to seeing it ported to the website, so that I can use the 'fix it' link/button there as well (rather than seeing the errors in the software, and fixing them manually on the website).
It'd be best if MyHeritage completely ignored accents on characters when searching for a name. One is never quite sure whether the name was entered with or without the accent on the tree. Ignoring accents when searching is the industry standard set by Google.
Thanks, Eran. I've being using the 'tag people' feature. It's pretty good. But, what it doesn't do is point me to the photos with no tags. The use of that would be:
Identify the photos whose faces have not been recognised by MyHeritage; and
Identify the photos that have no faces (e.g. holiday pictures), so that they can be put in a separate folder, or excluded from the site entirely.
I second this request. This is a very difficult point for me. Not all pictures were recognized as having faces (though many did). I would like to pull those out so I can tag them manually, but cannot wirthout opening each individual picture. VERY FRUSTRATING.
Similar to the 'names of married women' genealogy setting, it'd be great to configure the site to show an alternate name (e.g. nickname, religious name) when one is available. Some people in my family are only known by their nicknames.
The site is lacking some basic file management capabilities. It'd be great to:
Perform batch actions, e.g. delete a select set of photos/videos/files;
Sort files by size and format (i.e. photo, video, etc); and
Automatically identify duplicate files for deletion (if you can recognise a person's face in different photos, at different points in time, with different light and colouring conditions, I'm pretty sure you can spot identical files).
I keep trying to generate a chart in style 5 and each time it comes up with only the bare text; no boxes, joining lines, pictures, border, background image or title decoration. What is going wrong, please?
Thank you for generating my chart but when I tried to do it on multi pages the same thing happened. Nothing between names but a couple of dots so you can`t see how people are related. In addition I saw that at least three people did not have their sir names or dates.
I need this chart to print and send to an elderly relative [who does not use a computer] who will in turn give me more information to grow the tree. There is no point in paying for a copy of the chart you generated because the tree is not yet finished.
MyHeritage is mostly so good and I thought that now I have upgraded to Premium plus I would have no problem generating charts. Am I doing something wrong or is it a problem with the site? The same thing happens whatever chart I try to generate.
I tried Timebook. It looks great. - There is, however, one point:
After a few pages all the following pages are overlayed with "Sample". And the page offers to become a "Premium Member". I am, however, a premium member already.
After I changed the name of my family site by adding a prefix (arneb) to the web-address, a mail was sent to every member of the site without my knowing!! - and with my name, Arne, as the sender.
I am very offended by this, especially as I do not agree with the text in the mail!
Do not do this again - ever!!
If you will send a mail in my name, at least you have to show the text to me first -
let me edit it - and leave it to me to press the send-button.
