Hi, all —
I’ve been doing some testing on generating web pages from Legacy version 8

someone confirm that these are genuine bugs, and not just something funky with
the way I’ve been doing my report settings? Thanks.

I’m not sure if this is a bug in Legacy 8 or not. I noticed today that the
direct line bolding for one of my ancestors did not show up if that ancestor
happened to be in the “half kid” position. In other words, I did not see the

For those of you who have scads of media files attached within Legacy and have
created wonderful reports and charts and websites, I have a few questions about
how you manage your media files. Not so much on your hard disk, but more
within Legacy itself. (Since moving to Legacy 8 I've been taki

be a little difficult to determine. They are still published entities. Just use
