The navigation has been updated to allow faster browsing.  The previous navigation allows you to skip 3 pages at a time.  The new nagivation allows you to skip up to 10 pages at a time both backwards and forwards.  This new navigation is now activated throughout Genebase, including Genemail, the photo section, ancestry and search results.  Give it a try!

We’ve made some changes to the profile picture feature so that the picture is larger and easier to see.

This is what the profile picture used to look like before:
(max width and height 150 pixels)

This is what the profile picture looks like now:
(max width 200 pixels, max height 300 pixels)

Profile pictures that were uploaded before today will remain small.  However, all profile pictures that you upload from now on will be the new larger size.

Once you replace or re-upload your profile picture, it will show up as the larger size. 

To re-upload an existing profile picture:

1. Go to the individual’s profile page
2. Click on the profile photo or click on “edit profile”.  If you click “edit profile”, you will be redirected to the “edit profile page” and from this page, click “profile photo”.  This will bring you to the “edit profile photo” screen.
3. Click “browse” and select the correct picture from your computer.  The old picture will appear alongside the new picture.
4. Click “save” and the new profile picture will replace the old one.

We’ve added a new section, “What’s New on Genebase” to keep everyone up to date on what’s going on at the back end here at Genebase.  It’s a place for us to keep everyone up to date on changes, new features and new product launches.  You will also find a suggestions box on the right side of the page.  Please feel free to give us your input on how to make Genebase even better.  All changes and new features will be posted here so check back often.  We hope to hear from you!

How do I get there?
