OK, the sentence is not excluded. Is the tag sentence missing for everyone, or most people, or?One thing you should try is Optimizing the project in TMG (FIle > Maintenance > Optimize). Try that...

Clearly, "vp748" has no idea what Second Site does, nor what the challenges are related to building web sites from genealogy databases.Let's begin by saying that it's class-less and spam-ish to post...
