Marking Group vs Personal versions of Profiles

Gordon Collett

I still find it difficult to keep track of what space I am in. The notice in the upper left hand corner is just too subtle.

One thought I have regarding this, is would it be possible to strip off the profile's portrait image when copied into the group? That would give me a reminder to put a different portrait or maybe create a portrait with a distinctive boarder or something to use for profiles in the group.

Or even better, could you add a option for the group administrator to be able to choose a color margin for the portrait of every profile in the group, whether they have an image or not?

When tagging people using the new memories feature there is a coloured button that shows clearly whether the living person being tagged is Public or a member of a particular group. Perhaps better to use those same buttons to display on the Profile page to be clear at all times which tree the person belongs to. I anticipate working in several Family Groups with an unfortunately necessary level of duplication and will want to know exactly where I am.

As I use it more and more, I'd really like a more visual indicator as to which people I'm looking at are only in the Group Family Tree and which are in the public tree. My suggestion of using the tags as per the memories would help, but even better if we could choose a colour (as per the suggestion above). Perhaps a thicker line around the profile or other visual indicator would be an option.

Yes, it is easy to look at the tree selector at the top, but still confusing.

This is why it needs to be more clear which tree one is working in: https://community.familysearch.org/en/discussion/158837/why-some-already-created-living-people-blocked-from-viewing#latest

I need some kind of constant reminder right where my eyes are at any time. I never look at that top left corner either.
