Question

Why is my FTDNA FAmily Finder test is not visible on my profile as being confirmed? I  can see it in my edit tabs but it is not showing in my ancestors.

Raymond, the profile you linked has Unlisted privacy, so only people on the trusted list will be able to see it.  Your ftdna test will take a day after you enter it before it shows on the profiles of all potential matches.  If you just entered it, be patient and check it tomorrow.

Gaile's right, you just entered your Family Finder test today, the 17th, check for it tomorrow (DNA updates happen overnight).

I wonder if someone can add something to this effect to the "Add New Test Information" section of the "DNA Tests for [profile]"? Right now it just says this: 

We will attach the fact that you have taken the test to appropriate profiles in your family tree.

Just adding a note about it taking up to 24 hours to propagate would cut down on seeing this question repeatedly. Since this isn't just a Help page, I'm guessing it needs more permissions than the DNA leads have...
