WikiTree Club 100

By popular demand (most vociferously demanded by Jo), there is now a third last name field. Like the Nicknames field for first names, this new "Other Last Names" field is for anything other than the Last Name at Birth or Current Last Name. This is very handy for multiple married names and alternate spellings for our immigrant ancestors.

These new features aren't entirely perfect. In the photo sort-by-date, the images without dates come up first. Maybe those should appear at the bottom. I'm not sure. Also, the Other Last Names field isn't included in searches yet. It will be.

Questions, comments, or suggestions? Keep me posted (here or via e-mail).

This will be really valuable for some of you guys with thousands of people in your family trees. In fact, it was suggested by Dee.

You can now sort the profiles in your Watchlist in three ways:

A.) Date of birth, youngest or oldest first.

B.) Name, alphabetical or reverse alphabetical, and,

C.) Date edited, so you can see the last profiles you were working on, or the ones you haven't touched in ages.

1.) Sort Photos.

You can now browse photos of a person, place, or thing in three different ways:

A.) Popularity, which is the raison d'etre for the [recommend] links you may have noticed beneath images.

B.) Date, i.e. when the photo was taken, either in chronological order or reverse chronological order, and,

C.) Date uploaded, so you can see the latest photos.

Anyway, one quick note: You might notice something at the bottom of your Navigation Home Page entitled "Scratch Pad". This is a free space for personal use. I've found it handy for writing messages to myself about the progress of things I'm working on. I thought you other high-power WikiTreers might find it useful as well.
