John, I did request support from whollygenes, and that request has gone unanswered; that's why I asked Gordon if he had been able to get a response. Bill

Gordon, did you succeed in getting the registration info from support@whollygenes? How long did it take? I'm in the same situation as you reported.

Today I started up TMG and it inexplicably told me I was using an expired trial version, and put me in read-only mode. I used TMG just a few days ago. I no longer have the unlock key for the software, since my email receipt for the latest version was lost. Does anyone know who to contact and what information I need to provide to get back into my projects? Bill Wilson

Thanks for the idea. I had not heard of WebCite and I was interested in trying it. Unfortunately, according to Wikipedia, the site has been down since 19 June with technical issues. Which I'm sure annoys its patrons far more than me. This does point out the inherent danger of having a third party involved in the reference citation. Hopefully, they will resolve their issues soon and I can see whether WebCite will work for me.

I frequently get images from FindAGrave.com. Those images are taken by volunteers. When I attach the images to a person in TMG, I do so as an external file and add the information from the website citing both the contributor of the cemetery inscription and the person that took the picture in the Citation Detail of the Source. Hope this helps. Just to be clear, do you have FindAGrave.com as a single source in your Master Source list, just changing the Citation Detail for each image? Or, do you have each image a separate source?

True, I always download to an image folder first, too. So if you were to download a file titled GandalfGrey.jpg, you'd also write a GandalfGrey.txt file in that folder with the source? Seems good, though I wonder if I'm disciplined enough to do that religiously. If you do decide to use the image in TMG, do you incorporate the source anywhere?

A web site owner sent me a message earlier today, chiding me for using several of the photographs that he had on his web site on my own. He was completely correct in objecting, and it was impolite, at least, for me to neglect asking permission. The embarrassing truth is that I had forgotten where I got the images, and if I had remembered I would have had to spend quite a while locating the "owner" since the web pages are no longer up and I had no contact information on the owner in TMG. So here's the question: how do users "source" exhibits in TMG? I know I could list each scanned or downloaded photo as a separate source, but at this point that seems like an option of last resort, considering the work it would entail. Do other users have a (quicker, simpler) way to keep track of the details of where you got your exhibits?
