Ancestry viewer patch

Legg inn av nutty » 26 mar 2005 01:53:55

HI,

Does anyone know where to find the Ancestry viewer patch yet? It was
supposed to be released a week ago, to help us with Windows 98 who cannot
save an image with the new viewer, to our hard drives.

Thanks,
Nutty

While on this topic, are there any other Mac users who find the new
Ancestry viewing mechanisms clunky and inconsistent? Windows users have
it much better! The controls there work as expected, and there are more
of them... It took me quite a while to find out how to get good quality
images back :-(

OTOH, there appears to be no need for a dedicated viewer on a Mac; such
as it is, the interface seems to work "natively".

System 10.2.8, all the browsers I have tried (Safari, IE, Netscape,
Camino, Firefox).

The HTML viewer seems to be working now; I just saved a census image
successfully. I don't know about the viewer that you download and
install since I don't run IE.

Actually the other one is faster to go from one image to another, however
the picture quality is not as good. Besides the searches seem to be more
"off" on the "other viewer". I've clicked on several links that were
supposed to have a name and they just weren't there. So hopefully we can
soon get the best of both worlds.

Must be because you use Internet Exploder. FireFox zips merrily from one
image to the next.

And again, it sounds like an IE problem, as I always see the image I
expect.

Anything that requires internet exploder AND activex isn't the best of
anything.

It depends on which viewer you use, I think. The basic HTML viewer has
been fixed; the downloaded viewer only works with IE, so I don't use it.

Thanks all. I try to be patient but this has gone on so long. If Windows

subscribing that this would be the case. I did take off the new viewer but
the images are not as good without it. Each time I go to view the images I
am prompted to download the new viewer but there is a small "continue" at
the bottom left of the page you can use to opt out of it. Also so many of
the indexed names are not there when you go to the page where they are
supposed to be. However Ancestry does have some advantages. They have the
1930 census indexed. And some of the other census years have every name
indexes! However not all the indexes are complete. Hopefully ALL years
will be every name and completed soon.

I search the Ancestry census quite often and rarely have a problem being "sent"
to the wrong page. IIRC, all the census years from 1850 through 1930, except
for 1910, 1920, and a bit of 1900 can be searched by every name on Ancestry.
The 1900 is just about done, but I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for the 1910
and 1920 to go every-name soon. Another big advantage I find with Ancestry is
the ability to do Soundex and partial name searches. HeritageQuest is a lot
cheaper, but falls short in the census advanced search department, compared to
Ancestry.
