Changes and new features

[Bill Hurst]

There is a list of mtDNA projects on WorldFamilies at: http://www.worldfamilies.net/mtDNA.htm

There is also a list of Geographical projects at: http://www.worldfamilies.net/regional_project.htm

I don't see a list of Y-DNA projects there.

One should not have to go to a separate website to find a project! The programmers have been changing the various ways to find the project sites for a few weeks now. So far, they have just made it worse.

if the list owner puts r1b or e3b in the membership you will get it machines search enginges dont really know words

I'm not the R1b owner. What does Charles have to do to make his group 'findable' through the ftDNA search engine again?

http://www.familytreedna.com/forum/s...ead.php?t=1420 .

I am the group V owner. I can see no option to make this list visible. It's not the same as a surname or geographic project. One member un-joined and rejoined so he could find the project. After you join, if you don't bookmark it immediately, I know of know way to find it again. It's strange that on the "my ftDNA" page there is no option to go to the projects you are a member of, only the option to be removed from them.

(as a Mac user, I'll refrain about any comments about windows hosted web sites)

FROSINONE is a Geographical project. Try looking for the R1b project.

http://www.familytreedna.com/public/r1b/

You used to be able to find it searching for R1b.

or http://www.familytreedna.com/public/mtdnahaplogroupv/

You used to be able to find it searching for V.

Do they post a list of daily changes somewhere?

Today I've found that I can no longer search for ydna or mtdna groups in the project "Name" search box. How do you find the groups you're in if you don't bookmark them the first time you visit?

Also all R1b's are now R1b1's.

argh!

ok, I am dense. someone just pointed out the new chart color coding and grouping features and where the admin page is. Does anyone have one up that is viewable?

[melissa]

Where did the results tables go?

Am I dense and just can't find the announcement somewhere? I can't find any surname projects that still have their results tables up.

Mtdna Map

In the mtdna map when the mtdna is from a male like me and my son. this program lists the male ancestor in the tear drop symbol. what this does is when females who test click my sons tear drop in the frosinone project they get james denning longford ireland. what good is that to her.
i understand people dont count mtdna for much i do.
lets at least get this right
also why can women only belong to one mtdna group when men can join two ydna or one mtdna and ydna groups

Thanks FTDNA for the new members Distribution Map & Subgroup Tools!

Thanks to FTDNA for these two new great tools!

Hopefully FTDNA is still working out the little bugs!

These tools are great, and hopefully the colors from the Members Subgroups that the administrators select from the choices offered by FTDNA under the Members Subgroup will appear on all the charts offered by FTDNA, offered to all us administrators, in the future, and the balloons on the Distribution Map, as well!

XML for YDNA?

Also...there is a thread around here somewhere discussing the possibility of using an formalized XML format for sending and receiving our YDNA values. This would insure accuracy and keep us from having to re-type them all the time. Any progress on this front?
