Anyone gone onto the 'new' Ancestry.com?

I stick to the old Ancestry. I still miss the old FamilySearch which still gives you endless US census results even when you specifically type UK into the database.

They keep "fixing" things that aren't broken.

Morning,

If anyone feels strongly enough to sign a petition to try to save the old Ancestry format you can go to   http://www.thepetitionsite.com/600/803/575save-ancestrycom-classic/

Hope I got all that correct.

I am having a go with New Ancestry. I do prefer the "facts" sheet instead of the old profile as it pulls through more information. However, I can not get the time-line to print. Has anyone else had this problem and did you fix it.

Very unlikely to happen! It will be like everything else, people will moan but get used to it.

I hated it and got it changed back immediately, particularly disliked the waffle and incorrect facts on a profile and the fact that far to much was being changed by ancestry yet I knew I had put the right facts is place, when I spoke to the girl to get it changed she said it was just a trail, well they have got an awful lot to get sorted because if that ever was forced on me then im cancelling my full subs, and going to findmypast

I wont get used to it in any way, esp when they are changing info regardless of the reason! I worked dam hard to find that info and certainly don't need some computer programmer to loose it all

What it is seriously lacking is human instinct --- !!! We do often KNOW when something just fits.  How the heck a programme can do that who knows. 

Mind you I wish they would work this latest lot of mine out for me........ so difficult.

I wouldn't be too quick to jump from Ancestry to FindMyPast - they did  a similar change about a year and a half ago and made a right mess - data went missing, there were different input screens for the same data (depending on how you got to that input screen) with relevant search fields missing, the input screens were suddenly huge so that you had to scroll to input your data, it was horrible - and it changed a week after I had renewed, so I was not particularly happy about it. - they still have not fixed all the problems. I left them when my sub run out and went to Ancestry but initially kept my tree on FindMyPast. However a couple of months ago it started to take an age to process anything keyed in (20 or 30 seconds to refresh after entering a birth date and clicking OK or save - when you have 30 or 40 fields such things to di it is frustrating -to say the least) I exported my tree , loaded it into Ancestry and have not had a problem since

.....mind you I am not keen on the new look Ancestry - feels like new FindMyPast all over again!
