That's not exactly the problem. This time around there were 2 "problems" with the update . . . Sometimes a very large file needs updating and when that is occurring the install indicator may appear to be frozen or stalled but the file is still being downloaded! If a user stops the install at that time they will have a mix of old and new files, and possibly a corrupted file, which may prevent Legacy from running. It is best to wait for some time before cancelling an apparently-stalled update as it is likely still in progress. This time around . . . Millennia informed *everyone* (except you lucky RootsWeb-only listers) about the general update at the same time -- beta testers, translators, language testers, and users. So the single server became overloaded and couldn't handle all the requests. This slowdown at the server contributed to more users that usual seeing the apparent stalling mentioned above. The bottom line . . . when updating Legacy (or any files) *don't* stop the process unless you are absolutely sure the update has failed and will not resume. Be thankful that you were not informed along with the rest of the user-group. Now is a good time to update. :-)) Cheers, -- Dave N -- David Naylor, Halton Hills, Ontario, Canada. ---

Dennis, 117 is the major release - you can see on the link what was fixed there. Of course, since updates are cumulative, 118 will contain all those fixes and enhancements that were in 117. So if you're going to update to take advantage of the updates in 117, go ahead and do it - you know you'll get the updates to 118 also and it won't take any longer than it would have by updating just 117. I never get a full listing myself of all the enhancements and bug fixes that are in an update, esp with this one. It's been 3 months since the last one and I know Dave and Ken have made an absolute ton of fixes and I couldn't begin to list them all. Thanks for using Legacy.

Word of caution about the Legacy update. People've been having trouble downloading it, and if it stalls partway through you end up unable to use the program you've got. Legacy thought they came up with a workaround, but I think I'd wait awhile. Program I've got works, afterall, and nothing major in the update! Certainly none of the things that most need upgrading.

Dennis, Ken posts the updates and he's not a member of this list. I'll ask if him it's ok with him to post them here, if I remember when the update comes out. In Legacy v6, you can *always* find out about updats by clicking on the Legacy Home tab and viewing the Update section. And it's announced in the Legacy News viewable in that tab also - along with a link to the blog article which has a link to what's in the update. Thanks for using Legacy.

Dennis, Can I just say, you are missed from the LUG. As someone who you've helped a few times with suggestions, Etc, I have often wondered why you hadn't come in to some discussion with a helpful thought or suggestion as you so often did prior to the change. I'm sure if/when the LUG changes, it'll be posted on this rootsweb list also. Regards, Dermot.

I don't think that would help ... unless you used HTML to make the link an obnoxious color with a huge font ... and blinking. ;-) Seriously, I think the only solution is to find listserv software that can be configured to strip HTML and attachments (like here at RootsWeb, which is why I came here). If software like this is not available off the shelf, then an open source alternative should be considered. But this also depends on the ISP you have chosen to host your listserv and what they will let you do. Sadly, it doesn't sound like this is a high priority problem. -- Dennis Kowallek kowallek@iglou.com ******************

Legacy took a giant step backwards when they went to their new servers. They no longer offer digest mode for those who prefer it and they are unable to block emails sent to the list in HTML format. Unfortunately there are many posters to the Legacy list that either don't have a clue as to the difference between plain text and and HTML, or they have a "Nobody is going to tell me what format I can use" attitude. Bottom line, the odds are ever increasing that one of these inconsiderate posters is going to end up creating major problems for the LUG users. Regards, Ron Bernier

Ron, I honestly think it's related to two things 1) Users don't read the LUG Etiquette Guidelines - maybe it should be required reading before the sign-up is completed, but when was the last time you read the yada-yada for any list? 2) Users don't know *how* to turn of HTML in their emails or they can't (AOL quickly comes to mind). Unfortunately, HTML is the default of most all email programs (and web mail). There are a couple of links we send them to that explains how to turn off HTML. Thinking out loud here... wonder if Ken could add a link at the bottom of the emails, but would it be noticed anyway? Thanks for using Legacy.

For the benefit of the programmers, "Half-Source" has not appeared for me in any version. I understand that some people are getting this, so I would assume the new Release would take care of this. Dave is good about getting things like this fixed. Robert
