Yeah, I realize that there have been a lot of requests for changes to the web pages. They appear to be lower priority for the programmers - or maybe they have something up their sleeve for v8? I don't know.
I do see that some of the reported coding errors have been resolved (but not tested and closed) for a future update. Bugs should be reported to [email protected] or through the "Report a Bug" link in the Support section of the Legacy Home tab and enhancement requests should be sent using the "Suggest a new feature" link there. Both forms can be accessed on the website www.LegacyFamilyTree.com under the Help Center menu. That way the bugs/enhancements are forwarded directly to the programmers through our tracking system.
