On Monday, a 3rd Cousin edited several profiles.
I was notified he had updated the profile of a 2nd great aunt - I am one of the managers and following - so that was fine.
However when checking that out, discovered - the same 3rd Cousin also edited profiles of siblings of this 2nd great aunt --
Geni GOOF - set 1: Geni DID NOT NOTIFY me of the updates they should have --
i) to one where I was not a Manager, but was Following and
ii) to one where I was one of the Managers, maybe Primary Manager (shown 2nd in list, but shown as the Manager in Search, etc) but not Following and
iii) to one where I was both the Primary Manager (both listed first and shown as Manager in Search, etc) and Following
-- Very definitely should have been notified of ii). As I understand, I should have been notified of all three of those. If not, would appreciate explanation if anyone knows why not for any of the three.
However --
Have been told this can happen, we should not assume we will always be notified - so WARNING others, because without folks aware of changes, Geni is absolutely going to self-destruct.
Geni GOOF set 2: for the 2nd Great Aunt -- I am listed 2nd in the row of Managers - BUT am listed as THE MANAGER when Profile in pop-up window, in search list, in Profiles Managed by me, etc. And this is true of another Profiles as well (referred to in ii) above).
Thought we were supposed to be consistent there - PRIMARY MANAGER should be both the one first in the list of Managers, and the one shown in Search as Manager, etc.
Anybody heard anything about Geni having changed the rules/standards with regards to Primary Manager also being one listed first?? [ -- or, to put it another way - between consistencey between Manager shown in Search as Manager, in Pop-up Windows as Manager, and listed first on Profile.]
Approximately an hour ago, I updated my second great Aunt, her four sisters, and her father - so SIX profiles.
On "Activity" on my Profile and on my Home Page (under Recent Activity) it ONLY reports I updated ONE PROFILE my second great Aunt, and mentions nothing about the other 5 Profiles - three of which I am following, including one of which I am both following and a manager.
On Revisions on my Home Page, it lists the updating of 4 of the Profiles, leaving off the two where I am neither a manager or Following -- BUT -- truly believe all four of those should have been included on Recent Activity on the Home Page.
Mike Stangel - is there a reason Recent Activity if failing to list changes being made, by me or others, to Profiles I manage and/or follow?
This is getting very scary!!
Having looked at Revisions on the Home Page, followed up on another Profile mentioned there that had not been mentioned under Recent Activity -- turns out also a profile where I am a Manager for that one, (there are 6 of us who are managers - think more, than for any of those referred to above) and I am also following it.
