How can we make Geni better?

hmm.. that is a good idea.. dobutfull they will care.

i have seen a lot of good ideas only to have them die on the vine with out a reason with geni

I am thinking maybe I should have assed this question to the other discusion about bef and af and bet. another problem but since you checked this out maybe I will leave it alone and see if more people chime in. This really is a problem . One picture at a time and then you have repeat the process over and over again. If you could just high light all pictures to move them to another ffolderthat would be soooooooo much easier!
I said, organizing the entire album at once would be great. If I had been able to do that then I wouldn't have had to make a new album and move pictures. I will have to do that with another group of pictures because I have more to add from that area and I want them together.
Thanks , Mike for repling!

Another thing if you could see your entire album at once and just keep scolling down,it would make it easier to view and take note when you put dupicate pictures in . Then you can remove them and have more space available.

i agree with you if it can be done that it would be great.. i have not yet added any photos because i too have heard it's a hassle.

and while we are on the topic of ways to make things better i don't support censor ship but we all know certin things world peace issues of race and things like that don't get solve easily.. how about tougher penalties for people who abuse power.. like starting a topic on the big guy upstairs for no reason other then to bash people?

Getting photos on isn't so hard. It 's the way it's set up in each file, which is fine for normal viewing. However, when you need or want to organize , it would be much easier if they would become one page of all of them and just scroll down and when you want to move them the same set up and be allowed to hit them all at once , instead of having to go back and forth x amount of times.

Well, you know ,Mike, you know how certain people like to feel superior to others. What can you do?

and we can , make it more user friendly some times i think you need a phd education just to use this site

Ya, just plain folk like me are somewhat lost, sometimes.They make it too teck. and not enough common sense!

There is a photo organizer that makes this easier. You can get to it from Family -> Photos -> Organize Your Photo Albums in the upper right. The direct link is here http://www.geni.com/photo/organizer

Job Waterreus, here you can find some info about putting photograph in de system and organise your albums. Idea's for our new project?

Do you think it needs explanation?
I would give it low priority, but feel free to write something about it for the project.

I know how to organize them. My point being that if say you have three pages of photos in one album, thatere should be a way to pull them up onto one large page so you could transfer pictures from page three to one and so on!

. The way it is now you can only organize a page at a time and you can not change the postions of pictures from one page to another page.

Then there 's the problem of moving pictures from one albume to another. You can only do one at a time. You should be able to click onto several at a time and move them simutantiously to another albume.

st tried to click on direct link you provided but it won't let me into it. Will try later to se if it will benefit me or not!

e just went to that discusion you eluted to above. All I can about that is OH MY GOODINESS!!!!!!!!

If you go to http://www.geni.com/photo/organizer you can select multiple photo's by control-clicking them (hold down the control key while clicking)
If you hold down the shift key while clicking you will select a row of photos.

Hope that helps a bit.

Here's another problem. When entering siblings , you only have brother and sister. Well,that only works if you know if children are male or female. There should be unk. Instead of having to put in the sex, then go to profile and edit it as unk. If unk was a choise , and often it is unk, but maybe later you might find other records to fill in at a later point, It would save a lot of bouncing around and time, don't you think?

Sorry ,Joe , it doesn't work. What I want to do is move say pictures from page one of wxample Parker album to say pae one of said album.If all three pages could be brought up as on long page , then I could re-organize them. Thanks anyway.

yeah the poor lady just wanted help understanding the adam and eve line and it when south into a whole attack on religon. ettquite seems to be a lost cause on geni no?

Michael - 1) Missing the tie-in between your comment above and anything in this thread.
2) Think I read the thread your comment is referring to - but only long after it got started, after some comments had been deleted, and skimmed some comments -- however, I could not in any way see it as out of line. If one is talking about adam and eve, then those topics and comments on religion are totally appropriate.

Beginning to think you and I have very different ideas about good etiquette. I think vigorous argument is healthy and good, as long as there are no negative put down comments about the individuals holding the beliefs you violently disagree with. What is your view of good etiquette?

As to your comment further above -- "how about tougher penalties for people who abuse power.. like starting a topic on the big guy upstairs for no reason other then to bash people?" - have not seen any such!! "the big guy upstairs" - means God or ?? "for no reason other than to bash people" - really? This would mean not to complain about the situation, not to ask how to fix it, not to warn others of a potential problem, not to see if others agree it is unacceptable behavior, or etc.? Do not think there ever have been any started "for no reason other than to bash people"

I think complaints should definitely be allowed and encouraged. To me, you seem to be going out of your way to limit debate, stifle communication, etc. (Which, talking about etiquette - to me is an example of very poor etiquette.)

I agree with Mike. The perticular discusion was a bit visious. Too nasy. It's one thing to disagree strongly and of course everyone has a right to his or her opinion, which I you and I are doing !As was Mike. I feel the it either and one person thought it was a joke.discusion was a bit over zellious. And if you read some of the other comments, other people didn't like

we should stay on topic if some one starts something.. and that topic cleary didn't the woman asked for help determining the lineage and yes one could argue that the profiles and data should be involved but to shift it into a all out arugment about one's personal beleif's as it kinda of bordered on that centered around one person was not needed...

Mike, I totally agree, with you..Anyone else have any ideas about how we can fix and what needs to be fixed on Geni

Losi did you put your comments onto the orginal discusion. Hope so. As they will probably have a field day with it, pro and con.

Judy - I am responding here to the comments here. To respond over in the discussion about religion with my comments here would be a total non sequiter there, totally off-topic to the discussion there, and meaningless there, I would think.

And another discussion I believe Michael referred to above was deleted. Have no idea what other discussions he was referring to. So - which original discussion are you hoping I put my comments in?

Michael - Judy's opening post here is clearly talking about organizing the photo albums -- your comments which I responded to here are at least as much off-topic from how to organize photo albums as the comments you objected to in the discussion titled, "God Almighty is my 83rd great grandfathers! Who was keeping those logs of name?"

-- and the discussions you object to there were just as much on-topic to the title of that discussion as those comments of yours are here.

I beleive was referring the God is My ( whatever number it said) Great Grandfather. He gave me a link to check it out. Hence the WOW as in shock from me. I beleive he made the comment in reponce to my comment that I had started discusions ib past and canceled them because of lack of reponce.It did in fact somewhat had something to do with one. It was really between him and me.And I still say I agree that the other one was a bit wild and wooly there, I made one comment on it and that's all I am making concerning it. on that perticular discusion. This one is on tweeking Geni and making it more useable for the less tec k. people like myself. In otherwords make it more funtional and easier to use.for adding pictures and documents, moving them from place to place and organizing albums more easierly and other problems too.
