I think they are tinkering as I keep getting errors when sorting matches.

I just don't understand companies tinkering with a live environment.  Don't they have a test one?

They have been tinkering...I now have a 2025 Ancestry review.

Pro tools for me expired last month, but....

I can now see all shared matches to a match, which normally stopped at 20cMs. (Normally only available with pro tools) I cannot see how they relate to each other, no tree checker or cluster tool.

Is this a new feature to see all under 20cMs of a shared match? If so.. will take it...

Spot on ggrocot thats what im getting sadly some are very distant but appear to be connected to both maternal and paternal which gets me annoyed  >:(

Yes, I have lots that appear to be related to maternal and paternal as well - very confusing and possibly erroneous?

Must be the year in review, I'd rather they stopped anonymous tree views and protecting the identity of 293 strangers who have swiped stuff from my tree (they're probably all the 'ancestryuser123' types with private trees).

Hi all,
Yes I am seeing this also.
Everyday I look at my new DNA matches so I know they don't build up and not missed any.
Now I click on the new appearing matches and it gives me so many more shared matches .
Most of them with the unviewed green appearing by them even though I know I've viewed all my new DNA matches.
Plus it's really unusual pattern when you have less than 12cm DNA match to have any shared matches at all and now there are at least a dozen with each new DNA match !!
I'm not happy with the change at all.
Have a lovely weekend everyone.
Helen.
