Anyone receiving a message with a Dropbox thing attached should NOT open it. It's a hack. I have changed passwords and hopefully that will fix it.

I received the same email and semi-intelligent responses to my separately emailed questions (although they definitely can't write as well as Harold). I've texted him to let him know.

I got it as well and sent Harold an email too, but it didn't sound like him. I suspect someone has a hold of that, too. I didn't "reply" but sent a separate message. I'm not opening it.

I emailed Harold directly and got back an email saying it was legit. HOWEVER, I don't think the response came from Harold. DO NOT download the file until someone we recognize as Harold tells us he had reason to send us something. J. H.

I emailed him as well and he said he sent it. I asked him if he could resend it though as I had deleted it believing it was suspicious. Haven't heard a thing back yet. Weird.

I have just received an email message (supposedly) from Harold Henderson (it did have his accurate email address) saying he had shared a DropBox file with me. Since I was not expecting anything and have not corresponded personally with Harold before, I was suspicious. I hovered the cursor over the link and saw that it would have redirected me to another site. Do NOT click the link, if you get something like this. Emily Garber

Tamara, I can't imagine so. Most website providers want their websites to be used, and this type of presentation helps the website get used more effectively. I'm also not getting paid for the presentation, so it's purely for educational purposes. Patti <<Hi, Building on what Patti asked, when we create a presentation filled with screen shots, don't we need to obtain permission to use those screen shots? Thanks Tamara Hallo>>

I'm do screen shots for all my presentations and only go live in the questions section if I know that the internet is going to be okay. If you only do a live presentation and then have an issue with the internet then you are stuck. I also make sure that I have my presentation on my laptop and also on a memory stick (with a backup on the Cloud) as it depends on the projector age as to whether or not you can just plug your laptop in and go or have to use the technology in the room.

“Over the top” and “an institute of unforgettable magnitude” are just a few of the participant reactions to the inaugural week of the newly-branded Genealogical Institute on Federal Records (Gen-Fed).... http://www.gen-fed.org/the-reviews-are-in-gen-fed-2016/ -- Malissa Ruffner, JD, MLS, CG℠ mruffner@gmail.com

Thanks, All. I really knew, deep down, that I'd have to do the screen shots. I just finished working on two presentations for next week, and the thought of one filled with lots of screen shots seemed more daunting than just doing the thing live. But I do appreciate what Jill said about using the presentation again. If I do it again, and I likely will, I'll be ahead of the game. Our library is technologically fabulous, but even they have no control on the Internet at times. Someone else also suggested using video screen capture, and I likely will at least try that on parts. So I will just buckle down and get to work.

I will be doing a presentation on the unindexed FamilySearch databases for our local library. I've been really excited about doing this presentation, but then I got to thinking about the jillions of screen shots I'll be doing if I don't do it live. I'd love to do it live, but I know that I run the risk of the internet either being out or being slow. Even if I did it live, I would walk through every step beforehand to make sure that I could minimize wasted steps in jumping around the images. Any words of wisdom from anyone who has done this before? My third thought on the matter was that even though I would have to do a lot of screen shots the verbiage to go with is pretty minimal. Patti

I always set up the slides as if I will not have access to wifi. I use my presentations multiple times in some small societies who do not have the reliable wifi.

You could it both ways. Show some screen shots and then do a section live to reinforce the practice. If the connection is slow, you can then continue with your presentation of more screen shots. This is how I've handled it. I love teaching about the browse only records.

I agree :} After a trade of emails with some people I have come with some ideas on how to address this topic.
