Help please.
A while ago I saw something on here that stated we could now mark members in our trees, that we are 100% sure of the details on. I cant remember exactly how it was worded, and cant find it now I want to use it.
Hoping someone wil have an idea what Im talking about, sure I didnt dream it. Thanks.

Noticed this has had several views, but no replies. Wondering if its something that was added with the new tree, then taken off. :-( .
Does anyone else at least remember seein it?
Thanks

I think it was a row of stars on the slide out panel, but it seems to have been removed on the new tree.

I never saw the feature but surely if people were not 100% sure of the individuals details in the tree, then they should not have entered them into the family tree in the first place.

Not marking someone in your tree with whatever notation was offered/suggested would in fact be admitting that you were not 100% sure that the details included about them should be there.

There is a row of stars against a members name in 'My Contacts' which can be used to suggest, well, I suppose, whatever you like! :-D

Andysmum is right, but as she says, its gone now.

It seemed a good idea - 5 stars for 'I'm absolutley sure' down to 1 star for 'I'm making this up'

Honest, that was the Legend :-D

Thanks for all the help. I contacted GR direct and it has been removed. Although they also said they would put it forward as a new idea. ???!!! Still baffled on that reply. But, its gone. :-(
