Before the recent changes to Geni I could tag people outside my Family Group by having the profile manager as collaborator + friend (or perhaps it was even enough with just one of these two).
I tried tagging an image again today with the tagged target profiles manager as a collaborator. Did not work. I was able to create the tag with "Identify", click "Done Identifying" and it seemed ok. But checking the tagged person’s profile, the new image was not attached. I applied the tag again, clicked "Done Identifying", this time only refreshing the tagged image: tag gone. Tried again with a second person & different manager in the same photo: tag gone again.
Older images with people outside of the Family Group still have their tags applied correctly for which I'm thankful. But what can I do to make new tags stick in similar situations today without adding, sometimes quite distant, managers of the profiles of interest to my Family Group? I have yet to try the Family Group-trick so I'm not sure it is even a valid workaround? Am I doing it all wrong? Is there an even easier way?
Is this actually some sort of preventive mechanism? If it's another result of the "Friends" group getting the shaft in favor of "Following", it's just sad. I hope it is not & that situations like this can still be resolved without the need of jumping into each other’s Family Group just because we share some people on a photo.
What say you?
