Updated Chromosome Browser

[phje]

Yes, it does. I hope they will introduce a triangulated segments feature like the one at MyHeritage. That would be helpful....

Not only do they use the same chip, but FTDNA's lab actually does the testing for MyHeritage....

Although I am pleased to see that the chromosome browser has been updated, I am also disappointed that we can compare only seven matches at a time. I had hoped that when the chromosome browser was finally updated we could compare more than the old five matches at a time, but not just two more!...

I would really like to see the white paper....

Displaying the actual shared X-DNA cM would be far more beneficial in comparison to the current display.

I've been contacted via GEDmatch by someone who tested at FTDNA, but didn't realize that they shared a large portion on their X with my grandmother until they saw it over there....

Thanks, KATM! That workaround worked for me!

It used to function properly, but it's been broken for quite some time now. It also happens when attempting to select a known relationship for a sister & brother, or an aunt & nephew et cetera. Unfortunately, unless the relationship is going to be the same selection on both kits (i.e. 1st...

I would prefer 2 decimal spaces. There is enough room in the current format to display the cM as it was before....

I completely agree with ToddH. The sorting default needs to be reversed. I clicked once on the X-Match column and up comes matches that are NOT a match on the X. You have to click it a second time to have the X-matches show up.

Darren,

Thank you for your reply. If it were not for your attention to the forums I would feel as if no one at FTDNA truly empathized with their customers.

I do, however, have a question.

You stated:



Last night on Facebook...

When it comes to communication FTDNA is primarily inept.

[phje]

I didn't have time to call them during their business hours yesterday and I probably won't today as well. I sent a request via their website. I hope they'll get back to me, one way or the other, before they close for Thanksgiving....

Thank you, I'm aware of that. My $50 off any purchase that was changed to a $50 off Big Y expires 11/29/2015. The code for each is exactly the same combination of letters and numbers and I can provide a screenshot of the original to FTDNA. This was an error/glitch on their part and they "fixed"...

[phje]

I received a $50 off any purchase last night. It has since mutated into a $50 off Big Y. I have a screenshot of the original. Would it still be honored? Perhaps Darren, or someone else at FTDNA, could address this.

I had a similar situation happen to a kit that I manage last year. What you need to do is contact FTDNA https://www.familytreedna.com/contact.aspx and ask them to delete the pending transfer from your kit. It took them almost a month to delete it for me, so if they don't do it faster for you I would...
