Thank you Nanna!  8)

It's changed a tad I think & I did have a new message tonight, 1st in a while.

I hope my new big DNA match reads their messages from me very soon!

Messages sent days ago, still unread although they've been online a few times since they were delivered  ???  ::) & I was wondering if they could actually see where messages were at a glance as I never use the home page normally, I open straight to Family Trees.

Think the messaging system is on the blink, again.  Yesterday I actually had a reply but no email to tell me about it. >:(

I actually like the new home page. I have connected with 2 new cousins because of it and the fact that images of people within my tree appeared.  One of those confirmed a branch I had tentatively attached information to but hadnt been able to prove.

I haven’t connected with anyone that way.  It seems that I have to do the pushing.  I did connect with someone when I put a picture on the photo board on Rootschat with a possible name of the person.  It turned up in google and they confirmed it was her.  They were excited as it was a photo they had never seen.

I have just opened up the 'advanced search' page and bookmarked that so that I skip all the rubbish when I initially open the website.

Debra  :)

Used Ancestry this morning for an hour or so, 'old front page' = me a happy chappy  ;D
Left PC logged on to Ancestry to go for a mid morning coffee - came back to PC after about 20 minutes to find that I have been upgraded (??) to the new style front page complete with a load of useless hints (my surname isn't as common as Smith, Brown, Black etc but I was presented with a heck of a lot of hints even from countries that I know I have no link to)  :(

By-passed the uninviting front page by book marking to the search page that we all know and love = me back to being a happy chappy  ;D ;D

Can anyone confirm there was originally an envelope for messages (which you'd expect)?

I'm a bit phobic when I see different things, I don't like clicking on unknown tabs  ;D

I don't like (regardless which site) when there are tabs you have to click on to find out what they are.
I preferred when you could hover over signs which told you exactly what they were  ::)

I just don't like the 'unknown'  ;D

I've just noticed that the 'to-do' list which I had on my home page has disappeared.  I've been on live chat to Ancestry who confirm that the to-do list feature was removed with the recent update (without any warning so that I could have made a note of the things I still wanted to to).

Apparently Ancestry is 'very sorry for any disappointment caused by this new update'.   >:(
