Re: [LegacyUG] Mail addresses compromised?
The spammer has upped his game. Now I am receiving emails from him that say that my order has been accepted, and he gives me a link to click if I want to cancel. Yeah, right.

Re: [LegacyUG] File locations on new installs
My OneDrive was reduced to 5Gb some time ago. It is still reading 15Gb, because I qualified for a bonus of 10Gb while I sorted myself out. I'm not worried, even for 5Gb. I only have 2.8Gb in there, anyway. I have never been *forced* to take OneDrive up, either - and I am perfectly happy with Windows 10. Ros On 25/05/2016 19:20:52, Brian L. Lightfoot wrote: Yes, thankfully Legacy is smart enough to create its files in wherever Windows has established the user's Documents folder, in this case under the OneDrive folder. It seems that I was right in that Microsoft is pushing their OneDrive cloud service onto users whether they want it or not. Now we know why the upgrade to Windows 10 was free. It will be interesting to see if existing users of previous versions of Windows 10 will have their Documents folder moved into a OneDrive folder. OneDrive indicates my free storage capacity is 15 GB. But if one were to click on their link to add more storage, that page says that the current free plan is 5 GB. Maybe it’s the Win10 Pro version that gets 15 GB over the Home version.

The Legacy installer asks Windows where My docs in located then creates the Legacy Family Tree folder in that location. On first start up of Legacy by a new user on the system a similar process creates a new set of Legacy folders in the new user's My Documents folder. It is very interesting that New Windows 10 computers use One Drive in the user's path, especially considering that I was recently advised by One Drive that Microsoft is going to reduce the allowed storage for One Drive in the near future. Free accounts will only allow 5 GB of data, it was 15 GB. Amounts above 5 GB must be paid for with a subscription or by paying for a Office 365 license.

Re: [LegacyUG] Wiki tree
This is just so incorrect! WikiTree NEVER asks you to pay for ANYTHING.

Re: [LegacyUG] UK Locations
Well, actually, the name "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" didn't come into being until 1922. It was "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland" in 1801-1922. The 1707 Act only made it as far as "Kingdom of Great Britain". My advice is: don't use it at all. Just use the names of the individual countries.

Re: [LegacyUG] Slow Down???
It *must* have something to do with the size of your database, together with how full the rest of your drive is. Mine is small by comparison (4000+ people), and when I do the clicks you describe, the requested action happens within a fraction of a second. And I mean a teensy-tiny fraction - it's almost instantaneous. And yes, I have the 'latest build' plus Windows 10, 8Gb RAM, 1.8Ghz i5 processor. Ros On 29/03/2016 16:24, Brian L.

For example, while in the Family view, clicking on the name of one of the children results in a full second delay before anything happens. Makes one tend to click again thinking the first click didn't work (only for us impatient people). Another is clicking on the SAVE button on any view. Once again another full second or two before anything happens. And then try clicking or DEATH NOTES or BIRTH NOTES.
