Just my 2 cents worth. BJ Hello BJ. What I want are resizable windows in Plan. It doesn't matter whether I maximize the FTM window or not. Ancestry Web Dashboard in FTM-2014 hides too many items. I want more real estate space because I want to see more items, such as Ancestry Community messages and Member Connect Activity and Links. These windows within Dashboard are so tiny they're useless. My complaint is not the left panel (that's okay), but the right panel where Tasks take up more than 2/3 of the real estate and Ancestry Web Dashboard has less than 1/3. There's not enough space in Dashboard to work with. I don't have 'a ton' of tasks to do. I'd like to move the border up to give me a larger Dashboard, but there's no way to do it. People - Places - Media - Sources - Publish all have adjustable windows. Why not Plan ??? John M. >On 2/21/2014 4:06 PM, Rosemary Jones wrote: > > No way that I can figure.
