Greetings, I thought about suggesting we take this topic off-LUG but the question you raise may concern Legacy as much as it does Dropbox. Initially I assumed that the variable settings would be communicated in one of the 8 or 9 family-related files that are saved when you exit Legacy. Changing

I don't post much but I thought I would chime in on this. I read Brian's (in CA) explanation below of how the software is working the Living setting, and I was ...uskeptical. So I tested it myself. My option setting was to automatically Set a person to Dead if they are over 99. Then I a

If you use gmail, your messages should be threaded. Also, if you have gone into "settings" you can set your messages to show snippets, usually showing enough along with the subject to save or delete without ever opening the email. You might also need to check in "settings" for threading I will sto

I use GMail and can assure you that it most certainly does have folders. GMail calls them labels. First (web interface) solution - Create a Label called "LegacyUG". Then create a filter in GMail that asigns the label to any incoming email with [LegacyUG] in the subject and removes it from the i

Mike, I was in agreement with you until you went off on the "elderly." I for one, am elderly, not by my definition, but I am a senior citizen. I would venture to say, however, that I have more hours on the computer, and spend more hours online than the majority of users of this list, unless there
