Still not available for my stake in the Oquirrh Mountain Temple district. If you go the FH Library downtown they will sign you into NFS but they have to sit with you while you work.

The program is revolutionary. It will be a great tool in this work. It's like moving from a shovel to a front-end loader.

Salt Lake seems to be in a transition period. The downtown FHL won't process temple names on USB/disk anymore.

Just a thought...I'm in the Boise temple district that just got rolled out a couple weeks ago. I was anxious to start looking at the new program, so I went online today to see what it's all about.

It took me an HOUR to finally find the link to the new family search page because it was not listed on the lds.org or familysearch.org (that I saw) and when anyone discussed it in church, they just said Templeready Online. I even Googled Templeready online and that's how I found your blog.

The only way I found the new family search site was by going back to a December 2008 blog post HERE. So, thank you. Maybe I completely missed a link or something on the other sites, but it would be GREAT if you would provide the link to the new Family Search website on your blog. It may help a few of us who are just at the beginning :). Thanks so much.

Dear Anonymous Number Lover,

Thanks. And thanks for the suggestion. That's a good idea. So far I've not done so for three reasons:

1. Additions to the list of temples that are using NFS occur at the end, making numbering easy. Additions and removals to the list of temples that have been notified are random, making numbering a pain. (I should experiment with some HTML that would automatically do the numbering. Let me think that over.)

2. The list of temples using NFS is released by the Church and is definate and concrete. The list of temples that have been notified is compiled from consultants in each district and is subject to error. Consequently, the number is somewhat meaningless.

3. I'm lazy. Well, actually, I just have limited time.

Thanks again for your feedback.

Dear Allen F,

I can successful see the maps at two different locations.

If all the computers that won't show the map are located at the same place, it could be a problem with an anti-pornography filter. Because the map is hosted on a photograph hosting site, it is hard for some filters to decide what accounts or photographs are safe to show.

Try computers at a different place, such as a friend, a FHC or a public library.

It would be helpful if you could number the announced temples like you have those that have gone live. I like to get a number and it is hard to count when you have to scroll down to see them all. Thank you for keeping us updated on this roll out.

The map hasn't been displaying for several days. The problem occurs with both IE and FireFox and on different computers. Anyone else having this problem?

Dear rcollester3,

No, unfortunately, the FHC directors in all US/Canada FHCs got the same letter. You're a phase 3 temple district, so I'm guessing you'll have to wait until the spring of 2008.
