Template:Documentation
Hi, I did not realize you had not finished, which is why I added it to the template category and added the additional sub template for it. davide 00:32, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Techie question
I can make a direct external link from the fswiki to the fhl using:

"http://www.familysearch.org/eng/library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=titledetails&amp;titleno=782195&amp;disp=Abergele+parish+registers%20%20&amp;columns=*,0,0"

I would like to make a similar direct link to a specific batch on the IGI. Is this possible??? For example:

"http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp?PAGE=igi/search_IGI.asp&amp;clear_form=true" and then specify "region=british isles" and "batch=C090161".

If it's possible could you give me the full syntax? bromaelor 11:57, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Well, it is possible to do what you have asked. However, I do not believe the intent was really to allow the search results to really be opened up one to link to. http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/customsearchresults.asp?region=2&amp;batch_number=C090161&amp;LDS=1 As you notice, it is missing the framework especially on the top and left sides. I would guess the FamilySearch folks would not like that. Thomas Lerman 12:39, 26 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks Thomas. I was hoping just to be able to send people to the full IGI search page with the Batch Number automatically inserted for them. bromaelor 13:55, 27 November 2008 (UTC)


 * No problem. If they are talked to, they may consider making a change. However, that does seem unlikely . . . As I think about it, this will all change in the future. Thomas Lerman 15:06, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

Etiquette and Conflict Resolution
Thomas --

I have placed a brief intro to the subject of etiquette and conflict resolution on my user talk page, right at the top. I would be interested in your comments about the three articles mentioned or anything else about the subject we've been assigned.

Jimmy


 * Thank you Jimmy. I will check out your User Talk article hopefully before the next meeting. Is this the subject that you were assigned and you tried to drag me into as well? Just kidding. I just know that I am crazy busy lately with working, serving, dating, and researching (not in any particular order). I was not quite giving my full attention at that time as I was doing more than one thing at the moment. Actually, I took a quick look at it. I would like to see similar things on the Forums, have talked to Michael about, and nothing has been done yet, BUT I know the forums are a much lower priority. How about putting the links to the actual Wikipedia articles in your talk page?

User Group Connections
Thomas, I'm trying to understand the difference between connecting by video connection versus audio connection. I call in each week through the phone bridge and my name is always displayed on the left of the Adobe Connect screen. How is it differenet if I go in by "video connection?"

When I connect through the video connection (Adobe Connect), it asks me if I would like to have the system call my telephone for the audio connection. I give it my telephone number and within a few seconds, my telephone rings. This shows me as one connection with a telephone to the right of my name. When I am speaking, Adobe Connect identifies me as the person speaking.

If I did not have Adobe Connect do this and called in myself, then it shows me actually twice. . . When I would be speaking in this scenario, Adobe Connect identifies me as an "unknown caller".
 * 1) my video connection with my name
 * 2) my audio connection as an "unknown call in"

I have been trying to clarify this in the instructions, but may not be doing so well. Thomas Lerman 23:48, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
