Hi Les, we are not clear what you are asking. We have not made any changes to notes.

Oh Please Tribal Support, I would have thought it was obvious what I meant. OK not NOTES but "Info-Dialog" .

It is still not correct, but the Screen Shot was to show you how extreme it can be,

Here is my Site as it is now

Still DRAGGABLE in EDIT and especially in VISITORS View. Does not look good as a professional Family Tree site

The Info-Dialog is not a replacement for the Family View. It is just a summary profile of a person. If you are in the Name list page (like in your screenshot) you can click on a name, see the profile in the Info-Dialog and then proceed to which ever view (family, ancestors, descendants..) you choose. Otherwise you can just hit "Esc" on the keyboard or press the 'x' button in the dialog in dismiss it. That way you can stay in the Name Index page and see several names before choosing which name you want to do more research on.

Yes I have understood this from when I first veiwed it, and told you that the Small Link Menu was not working. Still needs "HOME" LINK TO BE ADDED to this.

I believe that you have done a GREAT job, but you are letting it down with the FLOATING Info-Dialog in Visitors View ( In Edit it is only us to see it ).

My feeling is that anyone from a different companies Tree would look at it and say, that it looks amateurish.

My opinion is that in the early days of learning to program , you would not get away with this screen as finished.

Reading Les's messages, what I understand he is questioning is "why is the info dialog box draggable."

I wonder what value there is in this myself. Is it necessary.

As Les says, hold down the left mouse key and click on the 'About name" top left and the card can be dragged around the screen.

Could you tell us why, and what is the value of this.

Thank you so much Tribal Support.

This now works in Visitor View.

Now only the Scrolling the Info-Dialog Box Up and Down showing the last screen viewed, to be corrected .

This will then leave the Info-Dialog fixed, only to be removed by selection in Link Menu or Esc or small X or Back button.as per your programming.

Thanks again

Les

I agree with Les, I don't see why we need to be able to scroll the whole page, which includes the dialog box, up and down. Can be a nuisance at times.

This is just one person's opinion:

I really liked how TP had the expanding and moveable info box. Now I have to use the sliders to move the info to read the notes and see the full slide show together. The expanding feature prevented that need and by allowing the box to be moved up allowed me to make the window larger which makes for easier reading where there are many notes.

I could move it up, allowing me to see other names to peruse as well.

Now only a portion of the photos show after sliding over to read the notes. Sometimes I would read a bit and then stop and watch the slide show for a bit. That is now hampered.

I think it looked great and worked great and if a viewer didn't want to resize it or expand it they didn't have to.

Not wanting to be in a controversy... Just making my view known.

Thank you so much Tribal Support, you have answered most of my requests.

You are still the tops in my book.
