Don't like the "new" version much. 

The dreaded Hot Matches are even more annoying now that the facility to filter out new matches seems to have disappeared and you have to scroll through all the pages, picking out the new ones.

I did manage by trial & error to rearrange my contacts in alphabetical order by clicking on the "Name" heading at the top of the column, but there used to be a menu that gave you several options of arranging.

Still finding my way around.  Don't like the huge picture frame for photos on the Tree.  It takes up too much room and most of the trees I've seen don't use that facility anyway.

Haven't had any difficulty in accessing it, though.

Yours grumpily  :(

I've just been and tested by adding some details to my tree and it does seem to be working, though I still don't like the new layout of the tree page. I daresay we'll all get used to it in time.  ::)

hi
am having same problem...page starts to download then screen freezes up.
get the green download bars at the bottom of the screen and  what appears to be a full page then nothing.
have to resort to task manager to escape from the page...have updated the adobe flash player , as previously suggetsted but still the same.
again this all seems to have stemmed from the site being " modernised "
anyone any suggestions :(

I've had no trouble with it until today - and it's driving me nuts!!!  But I thought it was just me, as we've had no internet for the last 2 days in this region due to the seabed cable being severed off the coast, by Alexandria.
Ah well, let's see how it behaves tomorrow!

I tried to access the Genes Reunited site using links I have receieved thro e-mails.
Using a link for " hot matches " I was able to access the site with seemingly no problem, but when I tried to access the site using a link via contact reply it again failed.
I have sent a message to their support team explaining the problem , and await a reply >:(
