Maybe Ancestry decided they'd better start charging before freebmd gets so good that no-one will want to use the Ancestry images!  ::) :P

I just tried and got no names - nothing.

Is it OK to ask this here (not worth starting a new thread) ... are Ancestry still offering the 14 day free trial? This offer used to appear on the home page, but now I can't seem to find it anywhere.

I think I read on one thread that they are offering a 30 day free trial? Does anyone know if this is so, and how can one take advantage of it?

I can still get free information here http://www.ancestry.co.uk/search/rectype/vital/freebmd/bmd.aspx  but it is a bit like the freebmd site http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/

I don't think there are any free trials at the moment, they keep changing them.

Well I don't know.  Yesterday I looked someone up and it produced a list of my ancestor births.
Today I get a list but but says first name, second name. 

I give up

I think Ancestry has lost the plot at times. I have no choice, i have to register a birth marriage or death by law. i do not have the right to say what happens with my personal details like with the electoral roll. My details are just sold on and i have to pay to see them or of any on my family.  I have found Ancestry to be one of the best milking machines. I don't mind paying but i do mind when the infomation i have paid for is wrong or incomplete. They never gave any warning of any changes they were planning to make or when they would be made. I think they have just got to big and mighty , for got where they get there infomation from.

Images became payable about a week ago.
Transcribed (freeBMD) indexes were free (again) last time I checked

And many public libraries have subscriptions to Ancestry - which means you can consult anything on Ancestry free of charge if you are able to get to such a library.
