Features not working that were not working on the old site
- Maps are not operational. These are occasionally added to pages such as Whitneys of Breconshire, Wales
- The Discussion Forums are not operational. These will probably be sunsetted and directed to the active Facebook group.
- Dynamic Pages - these show up as <DPL> sections on pages or "{{#dpl:". See Medieval Whitney Families and Family:Whitney, Erastus (1790-1862) for examples.
