Thanks, Ron. I was fairly certain this had been discussed at least one time in the past, as well as other small problems with HTML generation. As far as the “we would not know where to put them” is concerned, I find that somewhat comical as they certainly know where to put the Birth, Death, and Marriage Note. I would suggest to put the associated pictures immediately following.
I thought about another workaround and instead of creating a duplicate vital event just so the pictures would be included in the HTML pages, I think I might use another user created event that forces a picture to appear, namely a “Photo” event, which can be sorted chronologically. The “Photo” event works in situation when you may have a picture of a person as an infant, as a young adult, and as a senior. It’s difficult to decide which to designate as the “preferred” photo so creating a “Photo” event with a date allows all such photos to be included in the HTML. Works the same way in any generated Reports.

The suggestions have been made many times, but the response has been something like "we would not know where to put them". You have identified the only way of doing this through events, and not using the vital events Legacy provides. Ron Ferguson Sent from my Xperia™ smartphone "Brian L.

And I realize that web page generation is really a secondary consideration to any genealogical software program so I don’t want to get bogged down into why Millennia doesn’t immediately jump on this to get HTML problems fixed right away. Maybe the following point has been discussed before but it just occurred to me today as I was generating Pedigree Chart type of web pages. When it comes to picture options, there are not many options such as those found in Ancestor or Descendant Reports. There is merely the option to include event pictures, the individual picture, and their display and enlarged sizes. However, I have some pictures in “Birth Pictures”, “Marriage Pictures”, and “Death Pictures”. Surprisingly, these photos are not included in the output. Apparently Legacy does not consider birth, marriage, or death to be an event. J A quick check of the other types of generated web pages such as Ancestor, Descendant, Family Group, and Individual also shows that any pictures for these events are also omitted. The “Notes” entered for any of these events ARE included but the pictures are NOT. Anyone else ever confirm this? I suppose I could force a new type of event such as “Birth” and attach a picture to that birth event but any of the detailed information entered into that event would be just duplicating something that already exists. And besides, it would look strange to see such information being listed twice for each person on any web page. Maybe a birth event with no information other than an attached picture? Seems ludicrous but as it stands, any pictures attached to the “Birth / Christening / Death Pictures” area under the Plus Sign on the Legacy Family View are falling into a black hole. Is there a better workaround that I haven’t thought of?
