The new Findmypast (Part 1)

[groom]

Hello Blodwen & Rosie

I did a lengthly reply & must have pushed a wrong button

I cant find anywhere to delete unwanted searches.Will give it a few days then phone them

Click the little square next to date first viewed and then click delete, that will remove a page of the searches. As we've said though, you have to do it a page at a time, so if you have lots of pages it could take hours. There needs to be a delete all button or an option not to save in the first place. I messaged them on FB and got the reply that they would pass my suggestion on. If you get a better answer if you phone them, it would be interesting to hear what they say.

Maybe they're leaving the nice polite females till last!


 

I'm only going to whisper this incase they hear me,but I'm still on the old version.
Still not coping with the new Ancestry and new Windows 7 computer both at the same time.

I can see I'm going to be even grumpier soon

I had the benefit of always using Ancestry new version, I am not saying I'm good at it though but at least it's one less thing to fathom out.  I have also just got a new Windows 8.1 computer so know what you're going through. 

I used to prefer FindMyPast but if I had to make the choice to get rid of one it would probably go - I would have axed Ancestry before the new FindMyPast came into being.

Omega - I am glad it's not just me

Seems we're in the same boat Rosie.I  too have Windows 8.1,HATE IT.
Daughter NO1 & S-I-L don't like either,so not an age thing

Think I`ll try getting out the other side of the Bed tomorrow

I'm still on the old search and they have stopped me searching yet again as they are too busy!!
I'm dreading the new version.
I can't find things on Ancestry which used to be there and Familysearch is not as useful  anymore.
I used to love this hobby, now it's spoilt!!

I'm at the end of the alphabet and used to being at the back of the class, and I was moved over last week.
Any more theories?

I used to be at the front of the class before I got married, now I'm at the end of the alphabet, but I've still got the old version of FindMyPast.

That's obviously the answer Gadget.
