RE: [LegacyUG] Legacy User Group reputation
Phil: It's a shame that anyone should miss out on the benefits of Legacy due to a few curt remarks on the LUG mailing list. There's a Legacy list at RootsWeb where the tone is a good deal softer and the rules are less stringent. The traffic is lighter so it's not as good a learning tool as this list, but questions can be posted without worrying about a sharp retort and the queries seem to be answered promptly. That list might be a good option for your wife.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy User Group reputation
I am a Legacy newbie and a new member of this User Group and this List. So far I have asked TWO questions regarding using Legacy and have received TWO solutions! I salute those of you who remain on this List for the likes of me regardless of the apparent challenges. I hope I may be able to return the favor to you someday.

RE: [LegacyUG] Legacy User Group reputation
Martinets abound in all list groups. It is best to not acknowledge them as that merely provokes them and others. Just ignoring them is the best one can do. When someone's mind is already set, you will not change it, and the ensuing posts accomplish nothing. If inappropriate or nasty comments are made, they reflect on the sender. Leave stinky posts alone.

I don't see any replies, so others are probably not experiencing this problem. I would try: o Run Check/Repair on your main .fdb. o Close/Start Legacy. o Reboot your PC. o Close Legacy, delete the .FG file that is associated with your .fdb, and restart Legacy. o Close Legacy, delete the .usr files, and restart Legacy. After each one, try creating a GEDCOM and see if it fixes the problem. If I were a betting man I would bet on #4 as the problem. A .FG is a Focus Group file. Maybe it has become corrupt. The last one is a "last resort". If you get that far and that doesn't work, restore the .usr files from the Recycle Bin.

[LegacyUG] Legacy User Group reputation
Please, do not stereotype the Legacy User Group, as a whole, based upon a few loud, boisterous, and arrogant individuals who appear to hold to the perception that the "civilized world" revolves around their particular definitions. Unfortunately, they are part of this world and we must accept the good as well as the bad, however, we can choose to "FOCUS" on the good and ignore the bad. There are many good people on the Legacy User Group that are willing to share their expertise with others. These good people do not deserve the reputation that is fostered by those that think they "walk on water." Thank you to all Legacy User Group member's whose suggestions, recommendations, and willingness to share your expertise makes Legacy such a great genealogy program.

Re: [LegacyUG] Description contents not swapping
Thank you, Dennis. If I ever get everything sorted out that I have now goofed up, I will remove the Description field as you recommend as it just seems to be a problem looking to happen again. One more thing I wish I had known when I started using Legacy. :-) As for where it could be put when transferred to the upper portion, I think they could put it off to the side under the "+" where the address, notes, and pictures are.

[LegacyUG] Ken - PLEASE do something to stop the HTML email.
Millennia, Please invest in list mail software that you can choose the option to either strip the HTML from the email or you can block the email so that it never reaches your mailing list. I appreciate that you don't want to do anything to upset your users, but you are upsetting those of us that care about the corruption/viruses/bugs that can be hiding in HTML mail. You are also upsetting your user's who connect to the internet with slow speeds or have older computers. The Legacy list is the only list that I subscribe to where the list administrators don't give a darn about the safety of their subscribers. Sherry can remind people not to send in HTML until she is blue in the face and many of the subscribers refuse to listen. Either they don't know how to turn off HTML (they should either seek assistance off list) or they don't care about anyone but themselves and therefore should be banned from the list. Please, don't tell us the software you invested in can't block HTML. If that is the case, then please invest in a package that can strip or block HTML. This situation has gotten totally out of hand on this list.

I would report it on http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/problems.asp as a bug. Maybe one of these days the programmers will address the issue (though I'm not sure what the solution would be).

No! Read the original non-question. My reply was short and succinct. If people can't be bothered to provide sufficient information or background detail when asking a question, why should we try and work out what it was you were trying to say! If you were a researcher, what would say when asked to find the life history of John Smith born somewhere in England, sometime in the 16th century? The hijacking is a fact of life because people do not understand the difference between two common verbs or commands: write and reply. They read a message thread and then click reply to send a new message rather than using the write command. -- Regards, Mike Fry Johannesburg Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergr...@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
