FTDNA's new "skin"

Recently Family Tree DNA launched a new "skin" that they are calling MyGroups.  

Here are some of the features you will see with this upgrade:

 

  • New privacy choices given to both group members and to group administrators. These choices allow a group to be completely visible to the public, or to only allow it to be visible to members of that project who are logged in to their accounts. Individuals can also control who sees their information by choosing settings in myFTDNA’s Privacy and Sharing page.

 

  • Activity Feed - People can share their research, assist each other, publish findings, documents and photos.

 

  • The new Coupon feature - a contribution from Family Tree DNA to bring in new members or to encourage test upgrades. These single-use coupons are now automated, and will be generated at 10 am Central Time daily.

 

  • Ease of discovery - converted Family Finder projects are now searchable, making it easier for those projects to be found by potential members.


If you have not logged onto your personal page recently, why don't you do so and let us know how you like this new "skin".
