<br> Known issues in FamilySearch Wiki are reported below, with the most recent at the top of the list:  

{{Unresolved}}A few people are experiencing a problem with sending or receiving e-mails, using the Share button on the top right corner of the page. &nbsp;This has been reported, and is being checked. &nbsp;If anyone has this problem, please report it to Support@family.search.org. with information about your browser, and details of the problem.  

{{Resolved|by means of a workaround - problem will still occur}}&nbsp; This may happen even if you had not been on the FamilySearch home page previously.  

{{Resolved|but may occur in Edit mode}} This occurs &nbsp;when the pixels have not been set with a thumbnail image.

{{Resolved|by means of a workaround - problem will still occur}}On many of the county pages, there is a section for "Populated cities and towns", with links that don't work. &nbsp;If you edit the page in Wikitext, at the beginning of the table, you will see an instruction for Align Left. &nbsp;If you remove that instruction, the links will work. &nbsp;Another one of those weird Wiki things.  

This is a problem with the &nbsp;FCK editor. &nbsp;

Create a template that includes the image and caption that can be placed on the page. &nbsp;Example: [[Template:Monroe County Courthouse|Monroe County Courthouse]]  

== Migration to LDS Account  ==

A discussion of the issues that have arisen as a result of the migration to LDS Account can be found in the [http://forums.familysearch.org/en/showthread.php?t=1586 FamilySearch Wiki Technical Support forum]  

{{unresolved}} [http://forums.familysearch.org/en/showthread.php?t=1585 Users have reported] that they are logged out after a shorter time period than before the change. It is believed that this is due to the wiki inheriting the timeouts from new FamilySearch which is intentionally short due to the risk of confidential information being left open by users working from public access computers. It is believed that the programmers are already working on this issue.  

[https://wiki.familysearch.org/en/User:StringhamDB StringhamDB] That is correct. The Research Wiki's timeout is set at 45 minutes but since the change to CIS authentication we are limited to 24 minutes. This issue needs to be set with a high priority on the Research Wiki backlog.

{{Resolved}}Several users have reported that they had not been able to successfully combine their old accounts with their new LDS Accounts. This resulted in a loss of their watchlist notifications and their old edits not being shown against their new account.  

{{unresolved}}This is still a problem if the user name includes spaces " " or underscores "_".

I don't know what I'm doing.&nbsp; I found some web pages that indicated "Web Page cannot be found" while in the Georgia, Pulaski Co., cemetary listing.&nbsp; Should I submit the names of the cemetaries here?&nbsp; Thanks <!--{12074935672183} --><!--{12074935672184} -->

In the Wiki:Technical Meeting Agenda 28 December 2010, there was some concern expressed about MediaWiki or the wiki.familysearch.org default to make public and display the username rather the display name for example https://wiki.familysearch.org/en/Special:ListUsers. After talking with the engineers over the Wiki, they said that it was the default code that MediaWIki came with and if it could be changed it would require a "Core Change" to change it. I submitted an enhancement request and maybe that change will be made. [[User:JonesWD|Warren]] 13:15, 4 January 2011 (MST)
