ATTENTION Curators, please assist

Richard "Rick" Tasber

I'll see if there's a way to detach the Day1 etc profiles from the tree. Stay tuned.

I couldn't see a way with curator tools. I used the report option on Arley Adam Day and cross referenced this discussion to see if Geni Customer Service can assist with detaching.

Report for what?
http://www.geni.com/discussions/80793?msg=735641

I used the abandoned tree option and requested customer service assistance on detaching the Day 1 etc profiles, as curator tools and attempts to contact the manager are so far unfruitful.

But these profiles should in my opinion be private, including the father.

Ref the terms VIII, Content/Activity Prohibited, part 13 "invades or violates any third party's right to privacy; or"

http://www.geni.com/company/terms_of_use

There are three Geni users within the familygroup and the requester is not one of them, and we should all respect their privacy and not disconnect private profiles and replace them with public profiles.

So customer service will assist our user in sorting out the tree.

There is nothing to sort out, except of poulling out and remove the public profiles.

Rick Tasber was asking for possible ways he can help solve the problem. I'm not quite following what you suggest he do as a technique.

There is no problem except some private profiles he does not and should not have access to. Annoying yes, but he is breaking the privacy of this family

If that is the case then how is this best explained to users?

Read my previous messages.

As requested in a private email, I made some profiles private in the Arley tree (but if there are others that need to be marked private, please let me know and I can do that).

Maybe so Private User but since when has geni ever played by the rules?

Let me get this right - Data Hogs are Protected and Encouraged by Geni?
Why does Geni promote its Single Big Tree ? Total b.s.

If someone has Died - Profile should be Public. If someone wants to keep Dead People information Private - they should stay on their PC, Facebook or the other sites - because 1 Tree GENI site - is certainly Not for Them !!

Bjorn, when I inherited this tree, the profiles were already public. I have nothing to do with that issue.

I simply made 1 merge and inherited this diseased branch (that's what it feels like) as a result. I've worked very hard to build as complete and accurate a tree as the documents, I research, will allow me to do.

Ideally, I would like to split/sever this mess from my tree OR nurture my tree back to a healthy state, like before this disease took hold. All I'm asking is, HOW DO I DO THAT? (I want my original tree back!)

Erica, THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH for staying ON TASK and being positive in your attempt to help me. I really appreciate your help. Please don't abandon me and my efforts to clear this up. Thank you for being constructive and not pointing out any of my short comings OR going off the task and confusing my main objective of needing HELP to FIX THIS (the bottom line). Thanks again! ;~)

good job

Could someone please help me how to make a picture a profile one. Not my own profile but and old profile on my family tree.

As it works now the first picture tagged becomes the profile pic. And when I want to make a map of the emigrant-country the profile picture I have to remove all previous tagged on that profile - and start all over again.

And thi merge that looks like it will create several more merges when done....

Richard,

1) Can't you go back - and "Undo" the Merge - via Revisions ??

2) If Not - your Only other Option is - to create Your Profiles - and leave the other Private Duplicates on Geni

*this is the Solution - many of us Pro users on Geni are left with - until the Private Ownership problem - is 1 day resolved

Henny, when you "go into" the picture, there is an option that says "make profile picture." If you click on that, the picture should then become the primary picture or the individual's profile picture. It looks a little confusing, because it makes it sound like it will become your profile picture. It won't. (:

Thank you very much, Judy. Now it works. :)
I tried to control the picture from my album, but it has to be done for the profile in question.

Richard,

I was on Your side - complaining about Users (for Geni's ears) who have "Private Trees" of Dead People - #1 Merge Problem.

Now that I looket at your Profile - I see "Your Tree is Also Private" - and other Geni Users can't see - Your Tree.

I satnd by my comment - re; Data Hogs :)

Could someone please merge these two Jacob Carmen together for me? Unknown Profile
Jacob Carman

George Butler, of Starnbrooke I completed some of the merges around him. I don't know this area of the tree, so hoping others will work on the other merges you requested.
