Subject: Minor FAULT / FLAW.  General User Interface.  Function: User Messaging.  CANNOT get to SEND Message.  When BANNERS Appear

.

FYI

.

Please be advised that, there is a minor general user interface FAULT / FLAW, with regards to the 'Function' of "User Messaging" of 'FamilySearch', in that one CANNOT get to the section to "Send" a 'Message" Box ( ie. Reply / Respond to a 'Message' ), when, BOTH, the "Banners" of, (1) Weekly Updates / Release [ ie. Sunday Night / Monday Morning - 'Mountain Time' ]; and, (2) We’ve updated FamilySearch Messages. ... [ SEE WHAT'S DIFFERENT ] [ DISMISS ] appear.

.

This problem / issue could most likely be overcome, if a User/Patron "Dismisses" ( or, has "Dismissed" ), BOTH, of those aforementioned "Banners"; but, such should NOT be required.

.

I for one leave the "Banner" for Weekly Updates / Release [ ie. Sunday Night / Monday Morning - 'Mountain Time' ] 'in situ'; and, DO NOT, "Dismiss" that particular "Banners"; so that, when the "Banner" eventually automatically disappears, I know that the current Update / Release is over / finished.

.

Plus, I do not 'see' the need to "Dismiss" the "Banners" for "Updates" to various 'Functions'; and, as such, leave such ( Functions ) "Banners" 'in situ'.

.

Here are just two (x2) Examples, of 'Messages', where I could NOT access the "Send" a 'Message" Box, to Reply / Respond to a 'Message'.

.

Excluding "Dismissing" the aforementioned "Banners" ( as I have suggested ), I tried ALL means possible ( including "Reducing" the "Zoom" of the "Browser" ) to access the "Send" a 'Message" Box, to Reply / Respond to a 'Message'; but, alas, could NOT do so.

.

This minor general user interface fault / flaw ONLY came to my notice; as, I was in communication with another User / Patron through "User Messaging" of 'FamilySearch', where I went to Reply / Respond to an, active, ongoing, 'Message'.

.

Please be advised that this minor fault / flaw "Occurs" in ( and, was "Tested" in ), the 'Latest' versions of "Browsers" of:

(1)  'Google' "Chrome"; and,

(2)  'Mozilla' "FireFox"; and,

(3)  'Microsoft' "Edge",

ALL, with the 'Microsoft' "Windows 10", operating system.

.

Humbly submitted for your, information; consideration; and, attention.

.

'Thank You' in advance.

.

MAY THE LORD BLESS YOU IN THIS IMPORTANT WORK.

.

Kind Regards.

.

Yours Faithfully,

.

Brett
