Re: [LegacyUG] Fake news and vitriol

[Laura Ellene]

A big thanks to Alta Lee of Australia, from a Legacy/My Heritage user in Texas, 
for adding a longer perspective.  I’m going to look at this positively also and 
learn how to use all of these well before I start throwing rocks.  It just 
might be a “user” problem I’m dealing with; and I don’t want to embarrass 
myself any more than I already do from time to time.

 

Night, ya’ll.  Laura

Hi Folks,

I suggest that everyone take a big deep breath and read the facts and not
fly off at ignorant statements.

It is very sad to see some of the mis-information followed by unwarranted
attacks on both MyHeritage and LegacyFamilyTree / Millennium.  I am a very
happy user of both and yes they all have their faults but firstly you can't
blame either for incorrect data on the trees on their sites.  You should be
aiming your anger at the poor research done by some people - but hey, is
there ANYONE who hasn't made a mistake on their tree on this list?  BE
HONEST!

READ exactly how the hints and matching work - NO-ONE has stolen your data.

And I know this statement might upset a lot of people but this IS a fact - I
joined MyHeritage and have had some wonderful assistance with their various
matches and suggestions because there are so many non-Americans involved -
in other words it's not USA-centric!  And don't start arguing about that or
denying that as an issue - go back and look at how many messages comment on
the LFT location 'rules' don't fit the rest of the world.

I love Legacy and still use it.

I love My Heritage and definitely use it.  I have made more progress with
hints in recent times from My Heritage than any other research I've done.

A very happy customer of both!

Re: [LegacyUG] Webinars

[Laura Ellene]

Volume 1 is no longer being sold as of several weeks ago, I understand.  I 
can't understand that because it is not nearly as out of date as volume 2 and 
still has much valuable information.

I, too, have my Legacy on my desk computer and a laptop but, since I like to

In fact, just finished an intellishare merge and both computers will be the

Take the file you used to install Legacy to the first computer and copy it to a 
flash drive. Eject the flash drive and insert it into the second computer. Use 
that file to install Legacy to the second computer.

 

Then any appropriate databases and media files would also have to be moved via 
backup and maybe be delivered by a flash drive to the second computer.

 

Any settings and license information would have to be made on the second 
computer, so that is will function like the first computer.

Re: [LegacyUG] Webinars and other products

[Laura Ellene]

Thanks, Cathy.

 

I do have a webinar subscription but never found a set of rules that govern the 
site.  So I haven’t understood what was happening.  I’ll contact sales.

 

I have been a webinar subscriber since last fall but only in early 2017 
purchased Legacy once I realized that is really the program to use, so I guess 
I’ll be in on the discussions from time to time with software pertinent 
questions.

Laura,

A webinar subscription is much better value than purchasing individual webinars.

However, I would think that Sales is the best place to ask about your purchases 
and whether you can be given a new link for the downloads.

They shouldn't be corrupting - do you mean that the PDFs are locked and you 
can't unlock them again with the code?

Even when I do download things, they corrupt after a certain period of time and

Re: [LegacyUG] Data Entry Default Events

[Laura Ellene]

I have been following this.  This is my first post.  We have so much strife and 
bad manners in the world today, this doesn’t seem the place to exhibit it.  
Even some of the apologies have “digs.”  I think it is wonderful for Legacy to 
host such a forum for users and I am grateful.

 

If I went out with “Bill,” I wouldn’t spend the evening talking about “Don” or 
Bill would give me the gate and deservedly so.  I think I understand the point 
Legacy is making and don’t want to kick them for it.  It is just good manners 
to not use this forum as an advertisement for a competitive product.

Dave,

You only mentioned AQ in passing, but I was commenting on your way of thinking 
that you stated in your first sentence.

I didn't create the rules.

 

Certainly other programs have been mentioned in passing, but not quite the 
promotion that the other poster gave.

And yes, Unicode has been on the "wish list" for a long time. However, the 
current programming language that the programmers are using - VB6 - doesn't 
support that. Until they can learn another programming language and port Legacy 
over to that, the program won't be able to support Unicode. Some of the most 
avid users of Legacy have found a "work-around" by using Western European fonts 
- they find the advantages to Legacy far outweigh the inability to add their 
Eastern European ancestry with the correct spelling.

Sherry has drawn a red line and is telling me that I have crossed it by

That post was written by me not to hype any other product, but purely to offer 
a possible solution for my fellow users who are not getting the performance 
they need from Legacy, based on my personal experience.

 

At the risk of being thrown off this list (on World Press Freedom Day of all 
days), just allow me please to mention that the archive of this user group has 
been discussing Unicode and Eastern European language support since at least 
2006, with intentions of porting the software to a platform that supports 
Unicode being given as answers back then and at several times in between.





So now we are 10 years on, support for Unicode did not happen with Legacy9, and 
I guess the move to support Unicode is still „imminent“.

Could it be that users with a serious requirement for Cyrillic, Asian, Middle 
Eastern etc. language support have long moved on to a different product?

 

Courteously, David

The group was not created to promote other programs or for questions about

The message about FTM (and your promo for AQ) should have gone off-list.

Think about it - if you were selling Coke products, would you like someone to 
be promoting Pepsi on your website or mailing list??

 

The programmers are busy programming and don't follow the lists like they used 
to. 

In the Support section of the Legacy Home tab, you can send Support questions 
for technical support and Suggestions for new features or enhancing existing 
ones. Use that form if you wish to suggest Unicode or some other new feature.

What we all have in common – I assume – is our desire to do best possible

the best possible way. Legacy is just one tool to help us do that.

 

If the development staff follow this group (an exercise commonly known as
