The only thing you can't do is to upload directly from with in Family Tree Maker. The other uploads still work.

I'd also suggest moving to an Ancestery Member Family Tree. It's free. Also works well with Family Tree Maker 2012.

I wouldn't talk the User Home Page down, but put a note on it that you can't update it and to refer the reader to a new website or to contact you directly.

Please go to the Family Tree Maker Knowledge Base web site and do a search for 5435. There was an official posting today.

I think that it hasn't worked for longer then that.

If you have an Incident Report (trouble ticket), keep it open. They time out, so ask for status every once in a while.

This has been going on for a while. But ask them how were the End Users Notified that the ability for us to Update a User Home Page, from within Family Tree Maker, any version before Version 16, is no longer supported. I have not seen such a statement. I have seen that software versions are no longer supported. But that's the way of the software industry. The User Home Page, for me, is different.

Yes, Ancestry has said that they do NOT support FTM Version 11 any longer. I have NOT seen anywhere, that they no longer support a Family Tree Maker User Home Page. Please ask them for a link to a Knowledge Base article that lets the user know that they no long support the User Home Page.

Thank you,

Russ

You are NOT asking for help with FTM Version 11, but to your Genealogy.com, Family Tree Maker User Home Page. There is a difference.

Go to your User Home Page, outside of Family Tree Maker, and click on Help and contact them directly or call them.

There may be an issue on the Family Tree Maker User Home pages, which is what I think you are talking about.

I have been successful in updating my User Home Page.

Open the FTW.ini file by bringing up the about box and clicking on “Advanced”

In the FTW.ini file, add the following string to the [Options] section:

HostName=familytreemaker.genealogy.com

Save the .ini file and restart Family Tree Maker.

Let me know how this works.

Thank you,

Russ
