Ancestry Problems...

I've not had any problems 

Show off!

I had problems yesterday loading children to a tree -
Father entered as a male with surname Smith
Mother entered as a female surname Jones
- when I added a child to this marriage it gave them the mothers surname Jones

Similar Rosie, everytime I add a child it switches the mother to be the father and vv so this child has a father called Florence Elizabeth and a mother called Frank!
Plus lots of occasions when certain parts of a person's profile can't be shown.

I've developed a very specific and odd problem with the search box.

If I type the letter r it won;t type it and jumps the cursor out of the active box!

At least it is not just me then

It strikes me that some hacker or whatever could be trying to put Ancestry out of business.

Corruption seems to be everywhere.

The problems I've had over the past three months fall broadly into two categories.
1. Bad gateway/lack of response - these are signs of lack of capacity on their servers. Too many of us trying to research at the same time.
2. Illogical or incorrect responses, for example mothers suddenly becoming fathers. I have a feeling that their systems are being changed/updated by people who don't understand our needs and what the data means.

Same here with "r"!!
Sometimes it states there are no results to a perfectly good search, then the results come when repeated.

Hi everyone on this thread,

Just for the record, I do not have Microsoft windows.  It's the latest Linux version updated three days ago. 
I am still having lock - down issues when I use Ancestry.    If I do that spills over to elsewhere.  So to me a serious issue with Ancestry. I have not been near it for the last 24 hrs and so far all else is ok. 

It's not only annoying but a waste of my subscription money. 
I also like someone else thought of Hackers.
