Ancestry DNA Matches Updated Display

[Cas (stallc)]

When did the beta change get introduced?

Just read the thread, checked DNA matches and tree..nothing appears to have changed.

They seem to have changed their relationship predictor as well. All my 8cM matches are suggested to be some flavour of 3rd or 4th cousin. Worse still it won't let me set anything further out than 4th cousin !
I hope this is just 'let the customer do the testing' and will quickly disappear but I worry.

That sounds poor. At least at the moment we can label as 5C (but not 5C1R) and I've managed to identify a lot of those

Hi Cas, I am in Australia, not sure if the rollout is worldwide, but definitely in Australia as of this morning.

And rsel, you are probably right, it does look like a marketing ploy. We can't blame the geeks, they will just be doing what they are told.

I should also add that I have sent a strongly worded protest to Ancestry, both on their Help line and the Beta survey request. Perhaps if lots of people do the same, they will at least reverse the colour issue. That would be a really good start -my setup had become so intuitive that I didn't have to think twice about where my matches belonged.

I'm in England, overnight for me. Looks like this now -

Thank you for the reply ozdelver and Steve I am in UK.

Wish they would add something new, such as a chromosome browser, rather then mess with what is established.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it comes to mind 

Added - rechecked, no changes as yet.

No changes for me as yet, just checked.

However, no matches whatsoever this week and that usually means that somethings about to happen!

My sub expired on Sunday so my page was bound to change but I don't have the new icons just yet or the DNA tools announcement though others in the UK are starting to see them. A couple of days without new matches but back to normal now as I've had a dozen drop in three or four updates today alone

Some of the DNA matches on both my own and my Wife’s trees have lost the link to them.

This has not changed yet but now some show VIEW MATCH where they used to show VIEW IN TREE.

The view match/view in tree function seems to have disappeared completely today!

Got new display this morning. Dreadful. As has already been mentioned., groups have been changed, so I can't distinguish all my surnames which happen to start with the same letter. Maximum display is 50 without clicking over and over again through multiple pages, whereas you used to be able to scroll. Seems everything today is made for people who peer at a minute screen on a smart phone, not an old fashioned PC
