A grey box has started to appear for some searchs (see image) and I have recently noticed that I now had the option, see attached. I therefore assumed it was new. I must be dozy and perhaps they are slowly making more images available.

I see that GRO are now offering digital images for £2.50, a lot cheaper than ordering pdfs or certificates. A helpful improvement but the caveat is "Not all records are available to view as Digital Images".

Like Mark, I generally prefer FMP for probate images, but I flit between FMP and Ancestry for census and BMD index images in order to find the best one for inclusion in reports etc. Ancestrys census images are often better than FMPs but I dislike the way Ancestry colours 1911 census images. No idea ...

I keep my own css file, index.html and image.jpg in a master folder then after generating an updated website just copy them across to the Packages>Website>Data folder, takes <10 seconds each month. Very simple and then independant of FH updates and under my control.

Just in case it helps here is a census entry that I have just been entering so you can see how I have chosen to do it. As was mentioned previously English county boundaries have not been static. I do try and record the place as it was at the time. For example upto 31st March 1889 London was literall...

CP have replicated this problem and it will be investigated. Must say that CP have looked into this amazingly quickly.

Duly reported and a ticket created.

I should have been clearer, this is my sentence template and the point is there is a space in front of {date}, which makes me think there could be a problem in the report itself. I haven't seen this on any other facts in these reports. <para>{%CUR_PRIN.NAME[1]:FIRST%} married {spouse/her/him}<, {=Co...

Interestingly I see a reverse of this regarding marriages in narrative reports, is this a bug that needs reporting to CP?

I agree, I think it is an unneccesary complication. I wonder if Calico Pie consulted any users over this? (rhetorical question)

Many thanks I hadn't twigged that and it works. Whilst it doesn't take long to update the sentence templates I guess the only way people can update the actual senteces is using Find and Replace {note} with {inline-note}

Before I report this to Calicoe Pie I was just wondering if other people are seeing something similar. I am now getting full stops inserted after the age field in sentence templates. See attached example which shows no full stop in the template. I am thinking there is an error in the enhancement reg...

They charged me £34.99, but its worth it. Already exceeded that in value, and I found several very interesting bits of information.

I upgraded yesterday without difficulty, but I am part way through my annual Pro subscription. It won't be long before I have saved money.

I have used my larger second screen as my main display ever since and I have not seen any further problems.

I have a separate source for each census and record the source code as class:RG13 piece:1591 folio:32 page:4 schedule:20 in the Where Within field. I store a template in the Note field of the Source record eg class:RG13 piece: folio: page: schedule: which I just copy and paste to save on typing.

I did this by creating a Custom Fact called Qualification and used the coctruct <para><On {%FACT.DATE:DAY_OF_WEEK%}>< {date}>< at {_place}> {%CUR_PRIN.NAME[1]:FIRST%} received {his/her}< {note}>. I enter the actual qualification in the Note field, say 1st Class Honours Degree in Nuclear Physics. {_p...

I always use the age as given in the source, but if it is quite a bit out I will add a note in the text so I know I have already questioned it. I think it is important to record as given.

Just out of interest I use Paint to join images and just takes a few seconds. I do it by having both images open in Paint, cropping them to what I want, add additional canvas to the primary image and copy and paste the second image, then just position it.

Just tried it again and the behaviour has changed and did as expected, I can't explain what I previously experienced. Maybe it was quirk but I experienced it a few times.

I have been using FH on Windows 11 for a little while now and have not experienced any issues. There a few things different but I soon got to grips with them. One thing I don't like is when Explorer is shut down it seems to reset the screen. If there are multiple instances of Explorer open closure o...

As Bill says it is the Formula Bar that has been turned off. On my version you need to go to View and tick the Formula Bar box as per below.

I have used this site for many years and I am busy capturing some screen images of the most important maps for family history and my railway modelling. I am aware of the National Library of Scotland site but don't find it anywhere near as useful. I have emailed OS to see how I can access these maps ...

I came across this message this morning, and as I make a lot of use of these historic maps it is bad news. There is nothing about a replacement OS service. There are other sites with historic maps but I have felt this was the most comprehensive.

I had disabled the Age field, having ticked it tabbing seems to normal. I always thought it a bit daft having an Age field for a birth, as by definition it has to be zero, Age applies for birth registration though. Thank you for dogged research to pinpoint the cause.
