I do not have field (place , where write comments and publish them ) in my guest book or in other peoples guest books. I made Pro yesterday but it is not working correctly, guest book I have but I can only delete messages or inform that it is spam.
BR, Paavo
A guestbook is a guestbook, not a discussion forum or a message system.
We have specific entries for that, check your Research menu: http://www.geni.com/discussions, Messages
On top of your Home page you can also post short news for your family.
Where is the field?
In my wifes profile it is but mine no!
In the top of http://www.geni.com/home you have a box "Post your latest news here", and in the Research menu you can start a public or family discussion.
When it comes to the use of guestbooks it is as regular guestbooks, you write greetings in others, not your own.
I do not have : "Post your latest news here" That is the probem, too!
I think my wifes and my profiles are changes that Geni do not know who is there , me or my wife. May be I have to change my email- address where I use Geni?
Your screen dumps are from guestbooks, which is a place where you post greetings to people, like wishing them a happy birthday.
As with real life guestbooks you cannot post a greeting to your self, at least it would be weird.
If you want to start a discussion you do that via the Research menu, and if you want to send someone a message you find an option to that on their profile page.
The Post News section is a box just below the Welcome title, above the News feed section (where your message will be posted)
Hello, Björn! The field for comments I do not have at all, not in my own count and not in other peoples profiles. I can not write to the guestbook because of that fact. (see attach file, it is my wifes, not mine, I do not have it. May be better delete the count and do a new one? My wifes profile works but mine not.
BR, Paavo
Again: That is not the news-feed box.
Why on earth do you want to use a guest-book for discussions and sending messages?
Hi Björn and Paavo,
There actually seems to be some weird problem in Paavo's account.
I agree that your own guestbook is not a place to write anything for discussion purposes, but it's still normally visible with "Leave Message" button in your own profile page. In Paavo's case that functionality is totally missing.
And the problem doesn't actually appear only in his own guestbook, but he's also not able to see the comment box in other users' profiles if there is no previous content in their guestbooks already.
I created a ticket about this case to Geni helpdesk with a screenshot. This seems to be something related to his account.
Best Regards,
Teppo
