When contacting a person about your relatives. This message tag the relative that you want talk about , but the ID number of the person is not included in the title of the message . This would help the other person to find the person in Question.

    There has been a bug whereby the direct link to the page about whom the message concerned was not working. I believe that has been resolved now.

    Regardless, it does not hurt if the user quotes the ID number within their message. I add ID references when adding items to the Collaboration section of an individual in Family Tree, as this proves useful if another user decides to merge this ID with another. The Notes / Discussion items often make no sense when carried over to the other ID (say the one you did not create / have been working on), so one can immediately see if the item was originally placed against the now deleted ID.

    It's little trouble to add an ID yourself - there are places on the individual's Details page where you can easily copy it, then paste into the main body of your message to another user.
