How to edit "About Me" on Profile

[AngeliaR]

As you said

As you said, the place where you would think to look to update descriptive text has had a "coming soon" message posted for a while.

But, the tree profile update method DOES actually allow you to create/edit what used to be called the "About Me"...

Crazy! Edit a profile description from the tree function

Wow. That's CRAZY.
Who would even think to look there?
Edit a profile description from the TREE?!

You can see old text that was already there by clicking on the Story tab. Then there is an edit...

"About Me" or "Story" access not apparent.

Yeah, I do all the typical account maintenance already, but thanks for the response. There may be others who didn't realize those options existed or hadn't thought of doing it yet. Our trees are pretty scaled...

When I look at my uncle's kit as a match to me, there is a section on the profile headed as "About Me" with descriptive text. I put it there originally to indicate that I manage his kit for him.

I just logged into his kit to try and edit/update that section, but now I can't...

BY - batch 781 - Finally!!

Well, looks like at least my kit is in from this batch.

FINALLY!!

The top match shares 10 mutations, so I am hoping that creates at least one new branch. Already loaded the file to the YDNA Warehouse (for R1b testers) so should...

Big Y - Batch 781 - multiple kits

My father's kit is in this same batch (781) that was ordered in August and has been delayed multiple times. This same batch has been mentioned on the "FTDNA - BiGY Facebook Group" as recently as 2/14, so we are not alone.

Back...

Fragmenting

That's a good question. Why is there more than one genetic genealogy group on facebook?

Suffice it to say that each group likely meets different community needs.

There is plenty of internet real estate available for BigY testers and advocates....

Second BigY Group

A second group has formed to allow open discussion of all aspects of BigY, including 3rd party analysis of the data. It seems to be a smaller group, but the discussions so far have also been of value.

Still Waiting

I know of 8 BY kits from 2014 and 2015 in one of my projects that still have upgrades in process. I finally opened a request and FTDNA is supposedly looking into it for an answer.

Also still waiting on my dad's BY kit results from August. I checked before...

[AngeliaR]

New kit ?

Did he or you actually place an order for another kit?

If not, you may want to double check. It may be they really do need more dna for this test. I've read where that has happened to people in the past without any kind of email or notification to let them know....

If you have a BigY, are waiting for results, or just ordered one this sale, you may be interested in this new group on facebook.

DNA Processing Times - Table

From this link scroll to the bottom where the table is.
Only one person reported single snp testing and that one took 48 days from the time it was logged back into the lab.

Big Y updates

The smallish haplogroup project I help with still has 9 kits waiting for their BigY updates and 6 who ordered new in August that have not yet posted. That is out of 222 total as of October when this conversion process began.

No new results since 12/11.

Big Y

Received Big Y from batch 781 yesterday.
Received a FMS from 774 today.

Still waiting for another from 781 and one from 782.
Hoping they will finalize soon.

The small haplo project I'm in still has 10 Big Y from 2017 and 12 older that...
