Living People Hints
Two days ago I noticed on my Living People list had several hints. I quickly looked and the hints and they were mostly Obituaries. My plan was to following up in a couple of days and if required, change the living person to deceased and update the record. Today, none of the living people I have set up have hints. Where did they go? Also, it would very helpful if living people could still receive hints so we know to change their status to deceased.
FS is a great product. Thank you for all you do!

I should add…the hints were appearing on Private People on the mobile app. I have never seen them on the thin client (aka web) application.

@WilliamSinclair8 This behaviour is quite common. I haven't seen it in living people, though. Often, merely opening a hint in the source linker (or the mobile app equivalent) and not making any changes is enough to prod the hint engine. The engine decides that the hint is no longer appropriate, and gets rid of it. I imagine that the behaviour would be the same for living and deceased people.
Have you tried searching for the source via Search Records —> FamilySearch when you discover that the hints have gone? I often find that the previously-hinted sources are near the top of the search results list in these cases.
