It's still there for me. Although it does say this at the top of the section:

thanks Steve,

that wasn't there yesterday.  It's too bad it doesn't have the option to get out of the scrolling pages beta.
I think the new filters are good, but would like the results in pages.

Has anyone, who wasn't on the new beta interface, clicked to try these new 'features'?
If so, have all your results gone to the new/scrolling interface?

thanks

Unfortunately yes, and you can't get the pages back  >:(. That's a 'feature' they need to ditch :o! On the plus side, the 'common ancestor' feature now seems to do what the shared ancestor hint was presumably meant to do and finds far more exact tree matches. However if both trees are private, you just get shown private etc., but at least you know there is an exact tree match and you can make contact. Of course it won't show common ancestors for people that haven't linked trees though.

On that new Ancestry Lab page it implies that you can turn these new features on and off at will - I presumed that if you turned all off you would revert to the usual set up.

Is this not the case?

You're probably right, there is a disable link for both new features, but I'll have a play around before clicking just in case it disappears permanently ;D.

I've got it today as well.

Plenty to like, not fully explored yet, but what I see is quite nice. The shared ancestor hints is bringing up lots of people I would have missed before, though a couple found so far that are as laughable as their normal tree hints.
