Avatars are squashed :-S


Thank you, Roy. I would not have noticed that announcement as there was no "new".

Darker grey header, profile on post compressed. We have applied some minor adjustments today. These include, making the grey panel header slightly darker, and applying a border at the bottom to highlight the change. Also on the boards, we have compressed the profile details. When you hover over the image, the details will appear and you can click on the send message button. The reason for this change is to compress the post section on the thread view, and reduce the unnecessary white space. You should refresh your cache to ensure all the changes to effect.

Did you know that you cannot delete access to others' trees.
I have four more trees that I can view than I have in "my contacts"
Genes suggest that I contact the tree owners and ask them to delete.
Very much like "my threads".

Well for the first time in yonks I am mostly happy with it. It is now far from true that the site "is a joke etc". However the default color/fonts scheme would be a mega major irritation if I did not know how to fix it.

This is roughly what should have been released Q1 2012.

I have no idea how any commercial site expects paying users to "get used" to something as basic as the color scheme, especially when it is as far out on the left field as the current offering. If Gru do not want users simply to skin the app. then they could offer a choice of schemes, at least three.

Downs: yucky color scheme which is easily enough fixed with a .css script or from the browser menu.
List of shared trees still by number, not A B C etc.
No photo thumbnails on tree, tho poss. the boy/girl logos presage this happening.
Very poor media support.
No embedded urls.
STILL no cousin support.
Maps have gone :permanently :-(
Edit dialog still very clumsy.
New place names list worse than the old one.
STILL only one tree though there are work arounds..
Minor artefacts / unintended objects on tree view.
Threads still show in MyThreads when all posts in that thread have been deleted.
Makes bad assumptions about user screen size. As a result "share trees" menu is partly obscured / not visible at all. Poor design / coding. Similarly edit box falls off screen.

Ups:
Fast
Everything else works and is improved, esp search records / trees.
Print fixed.
Surname summary excellent.
GEDCOM Import/export menu sorted.
Replicated rellies bug fixed.
Flock wallpaper has gone.
I have not had any sign on errors, sign on again, errors when moving board etc in yonks.

Neither up nor down:
So far I have not found anything "exciting" . Guess this is mostly "up".
New logo.
Link to FriendsReunited seems to have vanished.

Everything has changed !!
Let's hope it's for the better, but I have my doubts somehow?

GR's current attitude, including lack of courtesy, towards "older" members suggests to me that they are not bothered about keeping "older" members. :(

Does that mean that members are not supposed to advise people to contact the support team when they´re having operational problems?

That posting I mentioned as possibly getting me a ban????


It got RR'd, and removed :-D

It was on http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards.page/board/suggestions/thread/1304889?jump=1304889


and the GR email said .....................
