2) When you choose a person from the web page and it takes you to that persons page, it should reset your view to the top of the page, rather than being left at the bottom.
4) I have a 23" monitor on Win7 using IE9 and the margin extends beyond the screen as others have mentioned, but this particularly a problem in the Notes and Index when the scroll bar is off the page and it's not obvious how to see the rest of the information.
5) Tip that might work for those that want to add a link to their main branches, is after you publish you can copy those links and then add them to your Home page links the next time you publish. Unfortunately since the online doesn't use the db record #, it may not always be the same each time. Otherwise I find it hard for people to go many pages down in the index to get where they want to go. Might be nice to have a Link section to key individuals, where you could let us choose individuals from the index to include in that section. When published you would change the link to point to the published webpage. The other way to solve that would be if there was a search feature like on Rootsweb, which could take you to an individual much faster.
6) When managing the Account, there is no Ok button when undone, seems strange to just cancel the screen. Also it's confusing that when you choose delete from there it only deletes the online directory and not the local directory. As others mentions when you go to publish it says its still there. You may just want to clarify that you are deleting only the online version.
7) Would be nice if the Pedigree Chart started with the Root person, otherwise I am not sure there is a reason to include it on the Home menu, you really need to go through the index and find the person first.
8) When you see the "Your Information Has Been Uploaded" screen, it would be nice if the link to your new site was a hyperlink or something you could copy, would save people errors manually retyping it.
9) When using "Check site status" it's not obvious that the Processing (%) is a static number and that you need to click OK and check again. Maybe there could be a Recheck button, next to OK, so you don't have to close and rerun.
Great first effort, but until you solve the privacy issue I can't use the web feature the way I would like.

Thanks for adding your observations, JP. On the printing of the Individual and Family pages from iOS, are you seeing Notes and Endnotes or just what you see on screen?
No, I do get the notes and endnotes - and all are formatted OK other than I again get the green background strip down the right hand edge (but beyond any of the text).

The contents of the printout are identical to that in the PDF file sent to the virtual printer.
So, there is something slightly wrong but it "works".
The backround dark green background "border" on the right hand side of the page that I explained earlier as appearing in the PDF "printer" output also appears on the direct printout.
ADDITION: It seems that I get the "check the printer for errors" when printing from other websites in iOS Safari, so it doesn't look like that specific problem is anything to do with RootsMagic.

I know I say that all the time, but this is mainly a recording keeping method for me so I know where I left off on an issue or thread in the forums.

What is the screen resolution set to for your monitor?

I did see some names of living people in the notes and sources of the non living. Such as John Dow was survived by his son James and his daughter Martha (Smith)
==== Hmmm, John Dow could be a distant cousin of John Doe, you know how these name get misunderstood at times

Sure! Census enumerators and intake interviewers at Ellis Island and other ports of entry wrote down what they heard.==== Hmmm, John Dow could be a distant cousin of John Doe, you know how these name get misunderstood at times
===
Case in point: Mother’s cousin married Joseph Cornelius Bisig (b. 1899) and the census informant obviously gave the name as Joe C. as show on the census image
Josie Bisig 7/12 Relation to Head of House: Daughter
How interesting: I only did some C/P and the name ends up in this message as a hyperlink!

Oops! I just noticed you were making a statement, not asking a question! Sorry, Alfred

I then deleted the website but it did not delete and went to "Home" as normal. Clicking on "Name Index" produced a 403 Forbidden message. Pedigree Chart appeared as normal.
Clicking on "Individual Page" produced a 403 Forbidden message, but family group sheets for the home person and next gen ancestors (parents) displayed normally. Further ancestors showed blank details.
My browser is Firefox. I tried IE could not access at all - 403 Forbidden message. Is the problem related to Firefox?
A little difficult to accurately describe.
Thank you &Merry Christmas All
