FH Short Date and ISO Format
Continued from the 22010|Does not display date in ABBREV3 format thread... IMO, that is a significant shortcoming, as it is the only numeric date format that is globally unambiguous. Sorry to disagree Mark, but any date using numbers only has the potential to be ambiguous. A date wriiten as 1945-06-...

Re: Splash screen in v7.0.21.0
I don’t know whether one can control the position of the splashscreen, but a tap on the spacebar will clear it altogether. This was in response to a complaint I made of FH being ‘locked’ until splashscreen closed.

Re: Married Name attribute or type?
It gets more interesting if the person had multiple partners/spouses/marriages. I've reworked my records to display the Married Name attribute, instead of the Married Name type and immediately encountered two women who had more than one married name. Do you have a suggestion for handling these &quo...

Another possibility is that your ISP is allocating you different IP addresses. While you are logged in to the forums, open another browser tab and go to https://www.whatismyip.com/.

It might be worth asking FH Technical Support, but think the only way to make things look bigger is to get a bigger monitor .
I could change the resolution I suppose, but then it wouldn’t allow so many windows open at once.

Re: Place location indicator
Peter I think you misunderstood my request. It is the crosshair themselves that I want more visible. These need to be bolder, to stand out. I really do find them dificult to find sometimes, even though I know they are dead centre of the map. Following another post, I've managed to thicken the Window...

Place location indicator
When one clicks ‘Locate Place on Map’, the map moves to centre the place on the map under the cross in the middle of the map. Does anyone know how to make this cross more visible? I know it is in the centre of the map so one should know where to look for it, but these ageing eyes of mine often find ...

Re: Query and Plugin Result Sets
I agree, especially useful when there are too many Columns to fit a single screen, when moving too far to the right, causes column 1 to scroll left off screen. Users define column headers, so why not allow them to define Row headers too, that when clicked could highlight whole row? Another alternati...

Lorna,
Quite right!
i changed to ‘Metrolike’, and thought at first nothing happened, as colours stayed the same.
Then quickly realised the layout had corrected itself
Thanks

Jane,
Am I missing something, as all sub-topis still appear at bottom, i.e. no change.
Or is this related to me using Safari on an iPad?

I've already raised that point with Helen but unfortunately the practicalities make it difficult.

Sorry Helen, but must comment that to have sub-folders below the General Query posts doesn't seem a good idea!

Does this tie in with Henry's occupation, and Martha being under Age.
Where did the marriage take place, 'Gretna Green' by any chance (didn't see Uffculme )
