Depending how you navigate to it

the :ADD UNONNECTED PERSON option is missing from the

RECENTS tab.

    it is missing from the Find page, the following page and the my contributions page but appears properly on the person page and the tree page. Just incomplete update on the programming. Should be a relatively easy fix.

    yeh it would have also been a relatively easy thing to catch - in the first place

    if people were actually doing testing before they put code in production. . .

    In thinking about this issue a little more, I can see some logic to not having the add unconnected person link on recents when you are not in Tree or person. why would you add an unconnected person from the Find, Following or My Contributions page. That would seem to be illogical. I believe leaving the link of may have been intentional. The idea being you must be in the tree to add a new person.

    you would "add unconnected person" on the find - because you were looking to see if a person already existed in FS FT - and once you found they didnt - you click on ADD UNONNECTED


    also it just is a matter of consistency

    In my experience - having it on the FIND is one of the most appropriate places for it.


    If I am about to enter a person in FS (that is not connected to my tree) - I first go to FIND to see if the person is already in FS. If I find they are not IN FS - then I will need to ADD them - and the way to add them is via the Add unconnected person - - why cant I just add them where I'm at (on the FIND) then have to navigate to a different menu item - to see the same RECENTS tab - but this time with the Add Unconnected. why cant we just be consistent???

    can someone from FS - please advise if this is a bug that is on their bug list

    or if somehow someone at FS thinks this is by intentional design?
