New version of Family Historian?
I have just installed v7.0.22, and noticed that the terms and conditions stated specifically that it was the Windows version, and looking further the 'About Family Historian' screen also states that I have the Windows version of the software. I haven't seen a previous mention of there being versions...

Re: Storing Documents
And following on from the above comments, never be tempted to laminate original documents. The sleeves are not of archival quality and can never be removed
If you have a fragile document, talk to one of the conservators at your local Record Office before taking any action.

Re: Can't launch the program
One initial thought at 1am - though you should have spotted a problem with other programs. Could your new PC be set up to open programs with a double click, rather than single?

Re: Subscribe/Unsubscribe topic
I have to agree with Mike on having the icon show the state of the option, rather than what it will do if clicked on. Once a user has selected it, you then see the resulting popup, but in today's fast paced world it is all too easy to assume rather than check ;) As an aside - when selecting the subs...

Re: Best way to input information
I've been caught with a similar situation before, where I think too long about what I want to say, and the page then times out as it thinks that I've forgotten about it. So what I tend to do now for anything more than a short message is to create it in Word or a simple text file and then copy and pa...

Gowermick - rather than having to go searching for posts when you lose the alerts, have you tried looking at the Message Notification list (link adjacent to your User name at the top of the screen). Not ideal, but at least they will all be in one place! Clutching at straws - there are links which al...

Re: Best way to capture images
As well as considering the advice on here, perhaps the document conservators at the local Record Office could be approached for their thoughts?

As an alternative, given that lugging a desktop scanner to a relative's house even with a laptop might be too cumbersome for one certificate - and it may not be possible to borrow the document itself - why not think about a portable self contained scanner? I use a Flip-Pal unit which can be used as ...

Re: 3D trees
Perhaps instead of a physical tree, some clever programmer could create some software which would take the detail from any gedcom and create a virtual tree which could be viewed through a headset such as Oculus Rift?
