shared matches
« on: Sunday 14 July 19 08:19 BST (UK) »
Hi, is anyone still having trouble with the shared matches feature on ancestry, which is now really annoying me and ruining my research experience, any way to fix this?, or get my money back?
thanks

What exactly is the problem, Aled?

Sometimes it is slow but I do get the matches.

I've noticed that at times.

What I've done is to refresh the page - it then seems to work for a while. It's a nuisance but it seems the only way to sort it.

I had the same problem yesterday.  I've just checked on shared matches and it is the same.  Nothing coming up for me. 

There was a message yesterday saying that they were carrying out work.  Kit

Edit: plus, the 'back' button doesn't work

Have you tried the refresh button rather than the back one, Kit?

It's annoying - happening 50% time at the moment.

(I'm struggling with line probs too - BT are working somewhere!)

Thanks Gadget, not ideal but a good temporary working solution.  Kit

I'm not sure what they're doing - maybe they've taken on too much all at once  :-\
