This technique uses tabbed browsing via Firefox. Has anyone tried making a group of members' trees simultaneously visible by using Firefox's manage bookmarks....putting the trees into a Bookmark Toolbar tab folder then bookmarking the new format family tree of those 'hot match' trees that are of interest....then running the full tree flash viewer for each one, to produce the full trees of one's own tree and those of the other members? I can get it to work when the website is quiet, but it seems to be pushing Firefox to it's limits and I am not sure if the flash viewer that GR is using is designed to support multiple webpages or if it sees them as the same webpage with different images. I feel I could explain this better, but I am not an IT professional. However I have compared two trees in this way with over 200 hot matches and the differences in details recorded such as DOB, name spellings, extra or missing children are very easy to spot. Maybe GR could provide us a write up on the best way to achieve this result. I think this is not possible with IE, unless one sets up multiple sessions, by logging on more than once. |

Sounds interesting, I have copied your message so that I can read it more carefully next week when I have more time and perhaps try it out. |
