Features
Note: The main service, "Thumper", prefers to run in
Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE). Netscape works ok. However, NS users will
notice a significant speed difference so, please be patient. Other browsers, such as Opera, Konqueror and the like
will work in most cases but we are not trying to make an effort to make
these work as well the two main browsers. One thing to note is all browsers
must have "Java", especially Javascripts enabled. Else, almost nothing
will function. For a demo of what can be done here, click the just link below and/or
click the links in the table below.
One Members Page
| Home PagesWebEditor |
Each member is entitled to 30 MB of free HomePage space. You may add
any content you want (as long as it doesn't violate the Usage
Guidelines) . At set up time, we create a page for you. Later, you may design your own pages.
You may use either the Easy or Advanced editors. The Easy Editor can create prebuilt pages using
templates so you needn't know HTML or have programming experience. The
page(s) can be edited at anytime by clicking the "Web Editor" or "My HomePage" links. Also
available is the ability to add sub-folders and limited use of cgi's . Your new homepage
address will be
"http://www.usgenealogy.net/members/USERNAME/".
An upgrade to a Premium Account will increase your disk space
if you need it, among other goodies. Also, we preloaded a complete, fully customizable instance of "Geneweb"
accessible from your page. Just click the link and you're there. (See This Link for Details) |
GeneWeb
(USG Only) |
A free, easy to use Genealogy tool. We include a full, customizable version 4.09 GeneWeb instance. May be used to store your Gedcoms or create your own family tree from scratch.
You get YOUR OWN personal Geneweb to do with as you please. When used with our own web editor, updates and customizing is fast and easy. A link to your CGI GeneWeb is created on your Free Home Page so it's easy to share. |
WebTree
(USG Only) |
WebTree is an original USG concept. What it does is this; Accepts your family tree input
and displays it in Web readable (HTML) format. Right now, only members are allowed to use this function
but we may include guests at some later date to increase the database. The created files will live in your
members directory, just like any web pages you create. The process is automagic and requires
only your family information, no coding knowledge required. But you may add to it if you have html editing experience.
Also, when you use this function, your tree information
becomes searchable by not only our own engine, but the entire web as well. Fun and useful too! |
| Web Page Promotion |
We offer a service to our members that will simply and easily promote the Web Pages they've created here. Why fight and dig to root out the
addresses for all those search engines when we can do it for you? |
| IM (Instant Messaging)/Buddy Info |
An ICQ-like IM client. Place a known user in the "To" then simply type
your message. The user will then type a response in "Real-Time" back to you. If the user
is not "On Community", the message will be shown when the user logs in
next.The Buddy system operates like the "AOL IM System". The best thing about these two
items is they are firewall proof. That is, if your org prevents you from using ICQ, MSN
Messenger and/or AOL Buddy, you may use these with no problem. Neat, eh? |
| Message Boards |
Choose from a wide variety of topics then post/add topics as you would
with any other MB. Useful for leaving messages that "stick around" awhile. |
| Clubs |
Each user is invited to create his/her own Club. The clubs offer an abundant
amount of options by which the owner could communicate with others. Likewise,
anyone seeing the Club is able to communicate with the owner. These Clubs may and should be linked to
each members WebPage so the world can see the content. The content offered on EACH club includes individual
message boards, personal chat rooms, email options and much more. Note, the "Search"
function found on each of the main pages search only these clubs for user
name/info. This is to facilitate quick results in locating similar interests
of fellow community members. We feel this will
be the main meeting place for users in the system. |
|
|
| Pictures |
You are encouraged to upload pictures. These may be kept in your own
gallery or you may place them into one of several Category Galleries
listed. Note, any pics uploaded are available for viewing by anyone in
the Community. We feel this will aid in making all Community members
feel a little closer to each other. (Shh, secret, please don't tell the admin but
these pictures won't count against your 10mg total. Upload as many as you wish at no
cost to your account). |
| Polls |
We give members a chance to vote on their favorite Members Pages and Clubs. A neat way to interact.
|
| Mail |
Each new member is able to use the free email client. Your mail address
is "username"@USGenealogy.net. Some restrictions apply. Such as, after considerable
deliberation, we decided to allow "Send Only" services. You must input your
existing "Pop" server info in order to receive email. This is due in part to
security issues and in part to bandwidth considerations. See "Help Pages" inside the
Service. Or upgrade to a Premium Account.
|
| GuestBooks |
Guestbooks for use in your newly created Home Page. Full administrative controls
and logging. |
| On-line Help |
There are many resources available for members. Over 10 pages of help on various topics are easily found. In addtion, we offer
a "Whose On-Line" feature. When used in conjunction with our "Moderator On-Line" information link, fast, right now answers can be gotten from the "Instant Messager" system.
What could be better? |
