I’ve upgraded the Mac Genealogy Forums to new software. The design is not pretty, I’ll admit, but that’s to be worked on later.
I’ve went through the and have pruned a lot of users (1500+). Many of these go back to 2005 and %85 had not logged on in the past 12 months.
As a result, if you had not logged on in over a year, just create a new account.
If you have posted or have been active in the past year, and you’re having problems logging in, please contact me. There is a possibility that in the conversion process, some accounts may have been reset.
Thanks

You may have noticed a little downtime this afternoon - that was me doing some upgrades to the website.
I’ll be doing a lot more over the next few days - updating the site, cleaning some things up, etc.
You might notice some occasionally weird things pop up - just refresh your browser.
Thanks,
- JDH

iFamily for Tiger version 2.252 has been released. Version 2.251 was released a few days ago. Version 2.252 adds CSV file generation for importing genealogy data into spreadsheets.
It can be downloaded at iFamilyForTiger.com
What’s New in version 2.251:
Story Pane
Added a button to automatically generate a Story for the currently selected person. There are many 30 user defined options (so far).
Ancestors and Descendants Diagrams
Added more colour options for the Ancestors and Descendants diagrams.
Additions/Fixes in version 2.252:
People Index
Added a button called “Generate Csv File” that creates a comma separated values (csv) file which can then be loaded into a spreadsheet application. The people included are those currently displayed in the Filtered/Sorted list of people in the table in the People Index panel.
Colors- Bug
Corrected a bug that occurred when choosing CYMK or Grayscale colors in the Color Panels. This bug has only been reported by one user. If you are using V2.250 or V2.251 and you get an error message that says something like “An exception occurred in iFamily V2.251 in CdDiagram.m : drawRect_1 at line 761″ and the error message also mentions a problem with colors then you need to: (a) delete the file called com.kswa.iFamilyForTiger.plist that is in folder xxxxx /Library /Preferences, where xxxxx is your Home directory, and (b) restart iFamily for Tiger and then (c) download V2.252.

iFamily for Tiger version 2.250 has been released.
iFamily for Tiger is a Mac OS X (OS X 10.4+ required) genealogy application that focuses on individuals rather than families. You can download it here (iFamilyForTiger.com)
Changes/Updates in version 2.250:
Sources Pane
* When you click on a Source-Reference (a Citation) and then invoke the Source dialog it will automatically preselect the Source that is relevant to the currently selected Source-Reference.
* Corrected a bug that caused incorrect display of Source-References in the Sources pane after a Source-Reference had been deleted elsewhere within iFamily.
* Added a button to enable direct referencing to the Active Source.
* Import Pictures - Prebuild All Thumbnails: The Import Pictures function now allows the user to Prebuild All Thumbnails. Although this takes a few minutes it results in faster response later because thumbnails do not have to be created on-the-fly. If you are importing a large number of pictures (1000’s) then you may like to take a coffee break while the thumbnails are being created.
* Thumbnails - instant display regardless of database size: A minor database change has been made to improve response when a database contains thousands of thumbnail images. Display of thumbnail images will now be instantaneous regardless of the size of your database or the type of processor in your machine (Intel vs PPC).
* Context diagram: The user can now set the colour gradient in the Context Diagram
Changes/Updates in version 2.245:

The cross-platform (Windows, Linux, Mac OS X) genealogy program ohmiGene 1.60.02 has been released. You can download the latest here (ohmi.celeonet.fr). The demo version will allow you to work with up to 500 people (there is a shareware/commercial version available that will allow unlimited records.
It’s unknown what was fixed at this time - the 1.60.x series has been referred to as a “transition series”, so this maybe preparing for ohmiGene v2.0
