Adding new names

HI everyone

I have asked this question before but the issue has not really been resolved. I have my tree on FTM and update tribal pages when I need to, but am having problems adding new names to my families. I am still not getting up the screen to actually add the names.

I have cleared the cache [when I remember how to do it!] which works for a time, but the next time I log in, hm, can't do it.

Any suggestions please?

The only other way I can update my tree is to import a Gedcom and I can't see the point in doing that each time.

TIA.

Hi Lesley,

Are you saying that in your Tribalpages tree, when you are in Edit mode and you click on "people" in the main heading and then on "add new" in the drop down menu. that the "add a new name" page does not come up.

No I am saying that when I try to edit anybody, I cannot access the bdm section or change the name if needed.

Have been trying to do a screen dump onto here to show you, but it's not working.

What happens when you try this --

On the home page click on "edit" in the main heading and log in. Click on "people" > "name index". Bring up a name and to the right of that name you click on "edit".

You should then be able to edit name, birth details etc.

If not, how far do you get with that procedure. Also how far do you get when following what I described in my first message.

This is the wording I get up when I click on edit. It does not allow me to change the name or put in bdms etc.
