I just screen shot what I want from a newspaper and the title and date of the paper can be added in whatever way is easiest.

Is the viewer change for 'improved' newspaper browsing and weblinks that will remain and allow re-connection to the original article in the future that I am more interested & concerned about than snipping as (though offered also by newspapers . com) snipping can be accomplished, as you say, by various other means.

I was under the impression that the My Records section in Find My Past was to allow you to re-visit any records that you viewed.

But I can no longer do what is easiest for me!  It was easy to copy and paste the name and date at the top of the page and now they have taken that away and I have to click another box, copy, paste, edit to remove full stop and line space.  I can't type the entire name of the paper into my Word document (which is very long!) and the date (because I have dyscalculia and get it wrong - 1989 instead of 1898, that sort of thing).
HANG ON - THEY'VE REVERTED BACK TO THE OLD STYLE!

Ooo, you will be a sleepy head in the morning then! 

I sometimes think that family history websites make changes that don't actually make research easier.
It's change for the sake of so doing.

For me, when Family Search changed the way you can find stuff, just made it harder.  Their original system was fine and I could find what I wanted.

You know the saying, if it ain't broke why fix it?  ::)

on the subject of familysearch, I can't use it - the whole site jumps up and down my screen!  No idea why.  Tried a different computer and browser, and it is still the same.  I've given up with it.

Perhaps you should try asking about that on the Technical Help forum.  Hopefully someone may know what the problem is.

I will do, hadn't thought of that.  I just checked and it's still the same.  Makes me dizzy!
