New Summary Pop-up Card Can Be Seen in Beta

Gordon Collett said: In the new merge routine at beta.familysearch.org I just noticed today that a new summary card is coming. Here it is for comments. Not sure what I think at this point.

The name on the card, although no longer in blue, is still a link. Not labeling the new watch icon might lead people to overlook it even more than they do now. Hovering over the heart does give a good explanation in the tool tip, however. Making it narrower probably helps on mobile devices.



I can get this narrow and still see the entire summary card:



Any narrower and the summary card switches to take over the entire screen:

Tom Huber said: I’ve run into a major problem with Windows 10 and Chrome. I cannot post to any thread or start a new one on this GetSatisfaction forum. I’m currently using my iPad, which exhibited the same problem earlier in the week.

The iPad problem appears to have been resolved, but not the windows problem.

The ability became lost when I cleared all the history, cache, and cookies on the windows laptop.

I opened a case, 07021279, but nothing has been done with it. I think it may have been noticed by by the mobile engineers, but not so by the web teams.

Normally I would provide the information in this forum, but using my iPad is a real pain.

Normally when I click sign in from this forum, I can sign in and the the system returns to the forum, but now it stays on the FamilySearch site.

Adrian Bruce said: Ouch - I definitely don't like the Watch List icon becoming a Favourites icon - especially given that we can be pretty clear that FS will not tell anyone. A Watch List item and a Favourite relation are not self evidently the same. I would only allocate a very few of my relatives to "Favourites" while the vast majority that I've worked on, are on my Watch List. That's why I'm perturbed about the change - the two things mean different things.

Being narrower is probably a good thing in some contexts. Being taller may not be good in other contexts... (Impossible to satisfy? Who? Me?)

Adrian Bruce said: Oh - I didn't try the link but assuming Gordon is correct, this means still more confusion in FS over whether something is a link or not.
