On Geni's blog of Sept. 9, among other things, the following message appeared:
Finally, we're testing a new profile layout with some users. If you are one of the randomly selected users, you'll notice that some profile modules have been moved around to make a cleaner profile. Depending on the feedback, we hope to roll out this new profile to all users soon.
I am one of the "lucky" members subjected to this dreadful experiment, which for the moment has not even one positive element that I could notice.
Let me describe it to you: On the profile page I don't see the person's connection to his immediate family, namely parents, spouse, siblings and children.
On the right side where you find prompts in blue clickable lettering, like Edit Profile, some are gone.
Somewhere below I used to see all my postings and those of others related to me. All those are gone.
Somewhere on the right there was a blue prompt to add documents, that is gone.
In the Statistics box a few things are missing.
There may be other "improvements" that I can't visualize or remember.
All those "improvements" are making work longer and tougher.
To the CURATORS, please remove this "humble subject" off your list of "privilege".
THE EXPERIMENT SUCKS BIG TIME.
I am sorry to be so blunt, but work on my tree has become a CHORE.
