Re: Daniel Y DNA Project at Family Tree DNA
|
I know I have checked the project web page intermittently for years and it always seems inactive. Even today, the FamilyTreeDNA site says "Results pages are not currently enabled. Contact the group administrator for additional information.” if you try to access results there, and the??website is generally non-functional. None of the home page hyperlinks go anywhere. Will we actually see a functional means of working with Daniel Y-DNA in the future?

Hi Michael,
? ? ?The Daniel Y DNA Project has had a fully functional web site for over 20 years at as noted on the FTDNA web site. All of the links on the Daniel DNA web site are active and redirect to the appropriate web page. That being said, if a browser is set to block popups, opening new windows, etc., then users will need to right click on the link and select the appropriate option, i.e., "open link in new tab", "open link in new window", etc. That is not a problem with the web site, that is a browser configuration. The site has been modified several times to improve it and it is regularly updated to reflect new Y DNA results.
?
? ? Updates to the Results pages have been frozen for the past week, or so, due to an issue with FTDNA's new "Y DNA Results Overview" page which unintentionally deletes Y DNA results for folks who have imported non-FTDNA autosomal data. Once that is sorted, updates to the Results page will be resumed. FTDNA says that fixing this is a priority effort, so I expect it to be resolved shortly.
?
? ?The project website's functionality has been validated with numerous browsers; FireFox, Chrome, Windows, Seamonkey, Silk, etc. Also, there are two project managers for the web site who can assist site users, if they have any issues or questions.?
?
? ? Please let me or John know if you still have any problems accessing the pages of the project website, or any other questions, after fully examining the project website pages.?
?
? ? BTW, I have had a couple of requests to add a link to to the "DNA Information Links" page on the project web site, but the project does not host links to commercial genealogy services.?
