Messages page no longer shows the discussed ancestor name as a Link.

Ken D in Australia said: Over the past month or so, the name of the ancestor who is the subject of the message is not entered as an active Link. It now appears as below. Not even a PID is given for the name. Clicking on it is useless now.

"About: Etienne FABAR (1823–1908) - Change Log - Person - Family Tree - FamilySearch - FamilySearch"

Now we must perform a search on that name in order to see its details. This is much slower than before, when we could immediately open at the ancestor's page or list of all changes.

I use WIN 10 on a good PC.

Jeff Wiseman said: Ken,

Have a look again. On my system, that entire "About" line takes me to the PID record for that person. It might have been just corrected or something but it is a working link on my system running macOS Sierra and Safari 12.1.2

Note that the name, change log, person, family tree, family search, and family search items are all going to the same place. I can only assume that they might eventually be independent links.

(putting incomplete feature menus into a production database was always a distinct "No-no" in places where I have worked)

KD said: Thanks, Jeff, for taking the trouble to reply to my post. I should have mentioned that I use Firefox browser. Tonight the line is still not active.

I'll try using a different browser.

Jeff Wiseman said: Ken I just tried this in Firefox on my mac. Even created a new message. But if you click on that about line it is an active link for me. Not sure what the problem is. Note that a lot of things are being changed here, you might just be in the middle of a rollout.

Hope someone from FS can weigh in on this.

Logan Allred said: I have confirmed the bug and reported it. Sending a message from the person details page worked, but not from the Change Log page. Sent from Firefox, no link appears in either Chrome or Firefox. Probably specific to the page not the browser, but we will test all the combinations to make sure.

Jeff Wiseman said: This kinda makes sense in my scenario. I was messaging from the details page.

There seems to be a lot of things broken on the change history pages.
