Questions

brendaruple

• What are you trying to accomplish? Why?
• I would like to have questions answered by others researching the same ancestor.
• Sometimes, its the little pieces of the puzzle that just need a nudge to get answered.

• What is the challenge or roadblock you are encountering?
• I message others listed as 'sources' and who are some degree of cousin, but most times they know very little and dont want to communicate.

• What is your idea?
• I would like to see an additional button on each persons page- right along with the "Memories" and "Gallery" buttons. This one would say 'QUESTIONS".
• Click on this and post a question that is specifically for this one ancestor.
• Read answers from other FS members

• How would solving this challenge improve your experience?"
• I would see other members that are passionate about this specific ancestor and who might have some info that I dont have and not in the records of FS.

This feature already exists. It's called the Collaborate tab.

I thank thee I thank thee for this post, I thought about doing the same thing with lots of Detail. Yes the tab exists but it has failed me , Maybe I should do a post like this, and go into detail.

@s10297588641, one of the features added by the new interface for the person page is that you can designate a note as an "Alert Note". This adds a banner across the top of the detail page: "Important research has been done on this person. Please read these alert notes before making changes." The words "read these alert notes" are underlined and bring up the note in question in a popup.

Another feature added by the new interface is a Notes box in the right-hand column of the Details page; this shows a preview of the notes on the profile, and provides yet another link to the Collaborate tab.

Hopefully, the extra visibility of the Collaborate section will prompt more people to use it, and help you communicate more successfully with other users.
