Hi,

I am Andre Kuah. This is my first posting after playing around this app for quite a while. I was wondering if there is a express button to "expand/compress all".  Furthermore, why have a "+" icon in the first place, if it is merely going to fade away without any further expansion? Thanks and kind regards.

Andre.

I think and expand all button would be pretty cool. I would like to see how far back some of my lines go.

I think that when you have the + and you expand it and get nothing more, it is that the parents are listed on that page but they are marked as "uncertain",  I checked a couple of profiles that said they should expand and didn;t, and I found they both had parents listed but marked as uncertain.

Hi Andre!

I'm sorry to say there is no "expand all" option. As you browse the tree, the generations are called from the database, one generation at a time, when you click the + sign.

The behavior of the + sign may be a little wonky in certain versions of Internet Explorer, but it should disappear if there are no parents or children to load.
