Feature Changes in FamilySearch.org Release for 14 Sept 2011


September 14, 2011 - 1:04pm by AndersonSF

As FamilySearch.org continues to change, we provide information about

changes that have been made or will soon be made. Some of the most recent changes that are part of the next release of FamilySearch include:

The Removal of the Feedback Tab

The Feedback tab was originally part of the beta version of FamilySearch. It provided a visual reminder for testers to provide feedback on their testing experiences. Now that the beta test is over, we don't need to have the Feedback feature so prominently displayed.

You can still provide feedback by:

Using the Feedback link located at the bottom right corner of the home

page, or By click on the Help tab in the upper right corner of the home page. That will take you to the Help Center, where you can click the Feedback link.

A New Viewer for Images

Up to now, FamilySearch.org has required that you use Flash to view images of records. However, Flash does not work on many mobile devices. Images on FamilySearch,org are now displayed directly in your browser using HTML. This new viewer looks almost the same as the old Flash one. You don't need to do anything to prepare your computer to use this new viewer.

The following two changes are the most noticeable:

The Flash viewer let you indicate a specific section of a record to print. Now when you click the Print button, the system prints exactly what is shown on the screen.

The thumbnail version of the image, which was located in the bottom left corner has been removed. Instead of using the thumbnail to move an image around on your screen, you can click anywhere on the image and drag it where you need it.
