Got it done .
Got it done .
Good deal!
I followed the video that jack put up and i picked a female with the same exact name as the female i was looking for and its the wrong ped. I deleted the dog and the ped is still there does anybody know how to delete it
What dog are you trying to add?
Now that i start adding some dogs again, just 2 things i would personally find helpful.
1. is leaving land of birth and country open or unknown instead of USA. lot of times i dont know the land of standing or i dont want to put the land of standing, takes time changing them so what i think most people will do is just leave it on USA. Did it a few times also, will correct them later.
2. if there would be 3 different boxes for month/day and year, preferably if u can just select the number. This will reduce the ammount of mistake there big time.
Cheers
Thank you for your input, and I will try to respond ...Originally Posted by R2L
1. The breed is the AMERICAN pit bull terrier and so the USA should be the default place of birth ...
2. We actually used to have the default as "Unknown" ... but quickly saw that 99.99% of the people were too lazy to change it ... which is why there are so many earlier dogs with Unknown as the place of birth, etc. ... even dogs like Carver's XX (which any fool should know was a USA dog) were left as "unknown" just because the lazy person never changed it to USA where it belonged.
3. Thus, by leaving the default as USA ... again for the American pit bull terrier ... it will be correct 99% of the time for any dog entered by default, even when the person doesn't bother with it.
This is a great idea, and we will probably incorporate it, if possible!
Thanks againCheers

Assuming 99% of the users are from the USA, you are correct1. The breed is the AMERICAN pit bull terrier and so the USA should be the default place of birth ...

In the meanwhile we have dogs with more then 10 generations of European dogs only from many different small countries. Can be hard to find out where each one of them came from.
Am i thinking to high of your brother to create a check box "set/use USA by default" ?
Its not that im to lazy, but im sure if the amount of European users on this database will increase, u will get plenty dogs with the false land of standing, rather then unknown. For the same reason people from USA are not changing unknown to USA.
Anyway, just ideas.

It is as simple as this:
1. Leaving the default to "Unknown" will be WRONG 99x out of 100;
2. Leaving the default to USA will be RIGHT 99x out of 100
Am I missing something? I haven't had time yet, to post any pedigrees but I will when the time permits. I am a new to your site but, I seem to be having prblems viewing some pics in the forums and when I type a name in the quick search blank it is not taking me to a pedigree instead, it takes me to the how to post pedigrees videos. It thanks, izdontlie2
Hi;
While I welcome you as a new member, your question here underscores the entire problem with most people: they fail to follow the instructions sitting right in front of them.
When you came onboard, you were automatically PM'd a message entitled IMPORTANT INFORMATION, which told you how to do things here and it gave you a link to all of my video tutorials SHOWING YOU (guess what?) ... how to do things
Did you follow the instructions? No.
Did you click on the link to view and learn (ahem) "How to do things?" No.
So what are you having trouble with? You guessed it: How to do things
Sorry, but when I give people explicit information ... and spend um-teen-dozen hours providing ALL the information you need to learn how to do things ... and you don't even bother to read/watch it ... it gets kinda frustrating
So now I have to re-write the instructions I have already taken the time to spell out (and make videos of) for you already. So let me give you a clue: the quick search is not what you use for searching pedigrees. That is what you use to search the forums and the articles.
If you want to learn the what/where/when as to the Pedigree Database, then I suggest you actually follow the instructions I already provided you in these tutorials. One of them you will discover is called The Ultimate Search Engine, and if you actually take the time to view it, all of your questions will be answered
In closing, after you get done being mad at me for this post (even though it's your own fault), and after you get finished watching the tutorial(s), you will then be able to use this resource properly ... and, when you start doing so, I hope that you see how really POWERFUL and COOL all the features really are, and I hope you forgive me for my impatience with your laziness
Jack
