Does anyone know how to get rid of the red in the Extras tab? I'm not at all interested in their holiday ancestral tours, etc. I've arranged my own in the past, and will continue to do so, myself. This particular aspect is a really annoying intrusion  :(

I've also been trying for ages and your post prompted me to have another go yesterday - and hey presto this morning the red blob on the extra's tab has gone.

All I did was to go on to the tab and open everything that was available - all the trips I didn't want to go on etc.  Previously I had opened the tab but not all the other options to 'learn more...'

It only disappeared overnight though, not immediately.

Have a go.

You're correct, Pheno  :)

I've just been in and it's gone!  I went in again after I'd posted yesterday and clicked on the  'update' tab opposite the tours section and then went a step further than usual and clicked on River Cruises.  I went back and found that red was still showing.  Now it's disappeared.

I think the red blob really means 'Look at me' both on the hint and the extra's tab.  Although look means look in depth and open things but the hints blob also goes if you open the hint and look rather than just looking.

Mine disappeared overnight without doing anything whatsoever.

I personally think Ancestry read this Rootschat Topic and responded to our negative comments regarding Ancestry

I'm not sure about that as the red blob disappeared from my Hints yesterday, soon after I'd gone in and looked at some non-relevant hints!

Maybe they were experimenting  ::)
