SIT: "Show all with my surname interests" function query

[stannarp]

Hi all,

The Surname Interests Table is a fantastic tool, thanks very much for making it available.

An idea occurred to me when I was updating my details today...

Would it be possible to display ones OWN surname interests as the first line of each entry on the "Show all with my surname interests" table/s?

Reason I ask is that I've got 60+ surname interests registered here, and when I go through this table I'm continuously tabbing between my OWN interests (or my Family History program) and the above table to double-check the details that I have against what is listed here, and it would be great to see the data I've entered on the same page to facilitate checking.

So, for example, the listing for "ARCHARD" (one of my interests) would show, in addition to the other people looking for it:
ranaridibunda (England | Somerset | Bath | --);
ymmik (England | -- | reading | --);

my own entry at the top or bottom of the list:
stannarp (England | Somerset | Frome Area |Hannah ARCHARD mar Joseph WHELPLEY-1753);

I can certainly see that it would be possible to do this, but I'm not sure how much extra coding it would take, but thought it would be worth suggesting in case of any future developments of the SIT.

"You can please some of the people some of the time ....."   

Funnily enough, this feature was taken out as others had complained about NOT needing to know their own surname interests.

What now ?

Yes, you're quite right, "you can please some of the people, some of the time" ... for me, it would be a 'nice to have'; but I can see why people wouldn't like having it there as well ... 

Thanks for the reply,

You can please some of the people all of the time and
you can please all of the people some of the time, ......

and now I'm going to try and please all of the people all of the time 

I've added a new feature to the "Show all with my Surname Interests" page.
Now everybody can decide for themselves, whether they want to see their own surname interests or not.

Default is "NOT" !


Enjoy,
Bob
