Re: [LegacyUG] Facebook

2019-01-09 Thread Pauline B. Cramer
I have been using Legacy Family Tree since version 4 and I have been a 
subscriber to the legacyusergroup for a long time.  I enjoy reading the 
Legacyusergroup emails, which I sometimes find useful.


I looked at the LUG FB a little, but did not find it useful and have not 
looked at it recently.  I have over 300 Facebook Friends, people with 
whom I share other interests.


I am thankful that the Legacy User Group does not have ads.  On google, 
etc., I got so tired of seeing the same ads pop up, photos of clothes or 
shoes I would never want to purchase, etc., so I finally opted out of 
ads.    Still get a lot of ads on, but  fewer and better quality of ads.

It can't take that long to copy a post you just made to FB and paste
it into an email. No need to retype the entire post. The people on the
mailing list won't get the follow-ups by the group that are on the FB
page but there's no reason they can't get announcements or other
pertinent information about Legacy.

*Many email programs can thread a conversation for you.
*It's very easy to search emails - I think much easier than searching
in a FB group, esp if the emails have a good subject line.
*Sticky announcements are annoying - once I've read it, it's still
there in my face and I can't get rid of it. I can delete an email.
*If a mailing list is moderated, either members or posts, then you can
cut down on spam. In fact, I can't remember the last time I've seen
spam on any of the mailing lists I'm on. On FB, you have to wade
through all the ads that FB puts in a group. A moderated list can also
put a stop to a thread by rejecting posts
*Polls can be sent on mailing lists as well. I just responded to one
on a book list.
*I can choose to save emails that are of particular interest to me or
delete ones I have no interest in. They're all lumped together on FB.
*All the graphics on a FB page are annoying.
*Mailing lists *can* allow pictures. Up to the list owner.

I've been using FB for a few Christian groups and still not a fan - I
so wish they were mailing lists instead!

Subject: [LegacyUG] We need a Forum !!

What Legacy and Millennia should be building is a single forum styled system - 
HTML web based system to replace the current systems of a 1990s style email 
mail list and a group within Facebook which cannot easily deal with linked 
posts.

This is the way that virtually all other systems use; look at forums used by 
game developers, vehicle owner groups etc. There is freely available software 
to provide these systems, which can be developed to provide more functionality.

These systems enable you to create multiple sub-forums within which your users 
can create posts, to include text and embedded files and images. Against those 
posts other users can create additional posts.

Management of users is easy to ensure that only registered users can make or 
read posts; that some sub-forums or posts can be read-only to anyone; some can 
be limited to developers and testers etc..

And the existing mail and FB lists can be merged into the new system.

Re: [LegacyUG] siblings become spouses when printing a family group sheet

2019-01-09 Thread CE WOOD
Don't hold your breath. Before acquisition bu Heritage, Legacy was much more 
responsive, but seldom many years long problems are still awaiting fixes. It is 
why many early Legacy users have not upgraded to the incredibly bug-ridden and 
ridiculous Legacy 8 and then Legacy 9. Those trying to produce reports for 
clients have migrated. So sad for a once excellent program.

Do we really need an explanation of specific cause? I think that it is often 
the case with software undergoing updates/upgrades that fixing one thing can 
cause something else to "break". This is not something unique to Legacy. I used 
to work for a large Australian government department and when software upgrades 
were scheduled to run over the weekend we would dread what we would find 
"broken" the following Monday.

Suffice to say that a fix will be available with the next update.

Re: [LegacyUG] Individual ID '302' was not found

2019-01-09 Thread Brian Kelly
Since you gave us no context on what you were doing when you received 
this error it is impossible to figure out why you may have gotten the 
message let alone how to find the error record which the error message 
says does not exist anyway.


I do suggest you run File Maintenance > Check Repair since that will fix 
any indexing errors with records.


Do you work with Multiple files? I have had that kind of error when I 
used a report in one file then tried to use the same report in another 
file which had fewer people. The report settings were for a person ID in 
the original file and that ID did not exist in the smaller file.

Re: [LegacyUG] We need a Forum !!

2019-01-09 Thread Ian Thomas
While a forum is good for all the reasons stated, I think the restriction on 
pictures/images/attachments to email posts in the current list is a major 
limitation – purportedly because some people have limited 
bandwidth/quota/allowance with their internet contract.
I can’t believe that is a real problem with more than a handful of people.

Perhaps some of those (very few, I would think) do have Microsoft Outlook or 
other mail software, in which it is possible to configure so that attachments 
do NOT automatically download.
I think it is a ridiculous requested restriction – the occasional picture saves 
many words and misunderstandings.

Hello Chris, 

Please forgive me but did I miss a notification stating that ownership of the 
programme, “Legacy (product of Millenia)” had reverted from “My Heritage” back 
to ownership and control of “Millenia” ?.

If not perhaps your remark/s may be better directed to My Heritage as a 
suggestion.

Yours in research & SHARING

Subject: [LegacyUG] We need a Forum !!

What Legacy and Millennia should be building is a single forum styled system - 
HTML web based system to replace the current systems of a 1990s style email 
mail list and a group within Facebook which cannot easily deal with linked 
posts.

This is the way that virtually all other systems use; look at forums used by 
game developers, vehicle owner groups etc. There is freely available software 
to provide these systems, which can be developed to provide more functionality. 

These systems enable you to create multiple sub-forums within which your users 
can create posts, to include text and embedded files and images. Against those 
posts other users can create additional posts.

Management of users is easy to ensure that only registered users can make or 
read posts; that some sub-forums or posts can be read-only to anyone; some can 
be limited to developers and testers etc..

And the existing mail and FB lists can be merged into the new system.

[LegacyUG] About them caps

2019-01-09 Thread Ian Macaulay
Some of us are very old and hard of hearing.  So often the caps are
required to get the message in.

Its is actually quite civil on this list.  A few grunts and groans don't
really hurt.
BTW Legacy is Old as well,  Not as old as me, but old enough to have some
minor quirks.
Lets hope we find a good doctor for it.

Re: [LegacyUG] Facebook

2019-01-09 Thread CE WOOD
Be aware that many people still use plain text when emailing. Their only option 
is to use caps for emphasis.

Only HTML allows bolding, underlining, etc. For many years, this list did not 
allow HTML. Only after HTML became the choice of most emailers were capital 
letters classified as shouting.

I'm sure we all do very much appreciate the invariably timely and helpful

However I think it would also solve some of the angst if any Legacy

don't need all the Facebook posts, only any "announcements", whether formal or

Yes, FB might have some advantages over this list, but the reality is that a

Carrie, Do you have children? Sometimes, after saying the same thing 2
or 3 times, it's easy to get irritated with them and you need to speak
louder (call it yelling if you wish, but I had no way of emphasizing
my words here other than in all caps).

The people I responded to were NOT (not yelling. just emphasizing)
reading what I was saying and I was getting upset having to write it
so many times because of the difficulty of doing email on this
particular device.

That's the hard part with written communication. Many
misunderstandings as to intent.  (BTW, you just shouted as well!!!)

Re: [LegacyUG] siblings become spouses when printing a family group sheet

2019-01-09 Thread Brian Kelly
In the current build the FGR is broken. Trying to print one will result 
in one of three problems:


a. Error 62 Read past end of File

b. Marriage not found

c. The symptom you have just reported where every second child is listed 
as the spouse of the previous child.


All of these problems have been fixed and tested by the Beta test group. 
The correction will be included with the next update to Legacy.
