    _Still_ continuing frustration

    My previous posts on the topic have all been closed, so here I go again.

    A new variation: the marriage record has the precise birthdate, of which only the year was indexed. The profile has the month and year, but not the day of birth.

    Oh, good, I think: the field's not empty and doesn't match the index, so Linker will let me edit.

    Hah. Nope, it will not. The only field with a pencil is the sex. For the birth, "1827" sits to the left of "November 1827, Vienna, Austria", but there's no pencil to be seen.

    Aaaarrgghhhhh.

    WHY is Linker being so uncooperative? I feel like I'm using a screwdriver that's suddenly decided to go limp if the screwhead's at the wrong angle.

    Please, can Source Linker be made consistent? Either always allow us to fully edit every conclusion, not just the ones that Linker happens to recognize, or go back to the old way, requiring that all editing happen on the details page. This "roll the dice, and check whether Mercury is in retrograde" behavior is infuriating.

      This issue has been addressed and because past post has been closed does not mean you cannot see them. What it does mean is the issue has been addressed and brought to the attention of the correct department.

      We hope as you do that the issues can all be fixed in a timely manner. Have a great day.

      @WKathleenM4, yes, a closed thread can still be viewed — but it cannot be added to. Hence my new posts for the different variations.

      Which are all still just as infuriating as ever, with no sign of any change.

      So sorry for your frustration. When I have a problem like that, I usually move on to something else so I can still be productive without all the frustration. It's a win win situation for me. Just make a note to be sure and get back to it later on. Some things take time to get the correct fix. I hope this help you.
