To TP - please don't delete this one as I think it is a suggestion many Users would find useful.

The Page field can be useful when entering the details relating to a citation but it is limited to 30 characters. You will probably wonder, "surely 30 characters is enough?"

If you just use it for something like a "Page number or identification" it probably is. But, it could be so handy for something else if it allowed for much longer data to be entered - for example, a URL. If the field is long enough, you could even include the necessary HTML to make it a link - now that would be really useful. Family Tree Maker allows you to attach a URL to a citation, so that when it is displayed you can simply click on the link and away you go.

Thanks Les - I know, it is NOW in Features. But it disappeared from Pending for ages and didn't reappear in Features for several days.

Now, I've just noticed something really weird with the forum. I started this message as a reply to your previous reply, then had to go back to Features to check something. When I returned to the Features your first reply, the one I was replying to, had disappeared.

Yes it is always happening.

When we reply and it states that we have to wait, the acknowledgement appears on the FORUM main Page in different and LARGE FONT . If you go down to the Message that you are answering, you will see the Link answer is there immediately. ( SO MUCH FOR THE MODERATOR as this has now bypassed them. )

When you do this , you then go back to Forum. which now only shows the First Message.

As I and you have pointed out the System is not working, but some Members are prepared to accept it, as We require it to work correctly for all.

That is why I suggested such a simple way for TS to do this. In the past it DID NOT work as mentioned by some. as we were constantly reminding T S about the Advertising and Bad language . It took them weeks to remove some items.

SO NO THE OLD WAY DID NOT WORK..
