Announcing: Favorites - More new features on Family Tree Circles
Scott_J
Hello. Your great feedback on some of the new stuff that I've been adding has inspired me to add more.
I've just added a **"Favorites"** feature.
Here's how it works...
You can add any post (journal, article, question) to your list of favorites by clicking the "Favorite" link. This link appears at the top of every journal. (*give it a try, click the star at the top of this post*):
and also in the journals lists (see callouts #2 and #3 in the image below)
You can view all your favorites under the "<a href="/journals/">Journals</a>" page. Look for the link on that page called "Favorites" (see callout #1 in the image below). You have to be logged in to use this feature.
Here's a direct link: <a href="/journals/favorites">Favorites</a>
This is something that I've been wanting to add for a long time, to help keep track of journals that I want to get back to, or reference later, or just to mark as a "good one".
I hope you find it useful.

ngairedith on 2011-08-14 03:07:42thank you Scott,
that new feature suddenly appeared on my journals as I was working so I've been havng a play around with it. It's a great idea and works VERY WELL when you have a lot of journals to wade through
another good idea - wish I'd thought of it :)
1bobbylee on 2011-08-14 17:43:31Very good Scott. Another favorite idea.
mowsehowse on 2011-08-15 10:53:46Hi Scott, I like your new amendments, but I seem to have lost the facility to post a draft journal. I have tried to post twice, but it disappears! Oh noes, is CORRECT!! Can you help?
Scott_J on 2011-08-15 11:09:26I just posted a draft journal successfully.
It may have something to do with the text that you're trying to put in it. sometimes certain words trigger a security issue.
Can you post a simple draft post with just "test" in the title and body?
Would you mind emailing me the content that you are not able to post so I can try it? (scott at familytreecircles.com)
mowsehowse on 2011-08-16 12:24:14Hi Scott, I have just tried to send you the journal by using your "contact" button, and for the 6th time of trying to post in draft, or post or send to you, I get: Not Found Oh noes! The page you've requested is not here.
Fed up and frustrated now - it was purely info for other lucky people with nothing in it for me anyway!!
Cheers, Judy.
Scott_J on 2011-08-16 12:41:36You have to send it to me directly via email, not the contact form. If there is some text in your post that is triggering the issue I was talking about, the contact form won't work either.
mowsehowse on 2011-08-16 12:43:04OK, but (scott at familytreecircles.com) doesn't work either!
1bobbylee on 2011-08-16 21:15:32Mowsehowse, Try this: scott@familytreecircles.com Are you putting the @? You may be. I saw the at between scott and family.
Scott_J on 2011-08-16 21:29:56Yep, we've got it worked out 1bobbylee.
I was being cheeky with my email address to keep the spammers from grabbing it.
1bobbylee on 2011-08-16 21:49:34I can understand your cheekiness. Spammers are like leaches. You can burn them off, but they have a way of attaching themselves to you again? They feed off others.

Juanita2311 on 2011-08-17 18:23:15I agree with 1bobbylee. I went to the link and got results for jobs in India. Methinks this is not relevent to genealogy! :)
Juanita2311 on 2011-08-17 18:25:05Oh, btw Scott, great job on the favourites improvement. Looks good.
Scott_J on 2011-08-17 20:28:45We get lots of them 1bobbylee which we delete them as soon as we notice. thanks.
Thanks Juanita2311!
