I'm happy with the results showing for my and my father's gedcom. I'm glad they haven't removed them.
But maybe it's because I have not made anything private. I put what info I wanted to be there and nothing more.
I admit it's not the easiest thing to make a proper gedcom. I doubt my father could do it without a lot of help.
Maybe the best way is to first create a second set of data files containing only the people and information you want there - no siblings, no notes, no pictures, no references.
Once you have done that, you now open up your newly created data files (which must have been saved to some other directory or you are possibly going to erase your normal files). Once open, look over all the data you want to be there. Delete anything you don't want. Then it's simple to export the entire thing as a gedcom for posting.
In the future, you might have to do the entire process all over again, assuming you make progress with extending your tree and want to show everyone a larger tree.
For me, I made just 6 generations to show. At least it's better than some who don't want to post anything, even though they have the ability. I sometimes wonder why they even got tested if they don't want to connect to people.

I find this all very confusing. Why hasn't ftDNA just taken all gedcom's off line?
