SP Previous Searches/1881 Census

Post by thistle » Fri Jun 03, 2005 3:41 pm

Just visited the new SP sight for the first time. You used to be able to delete individual "Previous Searches", but I don't see any button on how to do that now. I liked that option since I have a rather large account and being able to delete searches that I have found do not relate to my family helps reduce the clutter. Also I was hoping that the new site would offer a way to download a copy of the generated 1881 census. There was a lot of discussion about that on the old message board. In leiu of downloading there was a Print button on the old site. I can't find one on the new site. Looks like you have to use your browser's print option and print the whole page if you want a hard copy. The new site is going to take some getting used to. Are these options still available and I'm just missing them? Thanks, thistle

Because of problems previously experienced as a result of people accidentally deleting previous searches and viewed images SoL apparently decided to remove the delete function.

Hi Davie,
On my Viewed Images screen the last option on each line under the heading Image is Delete. I assumed that meant to delete that individual image. That's why I thought it odd that I could delete images but not Previous Searches. That isn't what it means? thistle
