New census website

This will give people more inclusive, diverse choices! Will replace results from rigid white patriarchal thinking with diverse and equitable outcomes for all searches going forward!

The previous mention of scrolling might suggest that the new application design has focussed on smart phone and tablet users (ie. swiping), rather than just PC / laptop users.

...indeed. Yet that said, my experience of 'more scrolling' (actually, much more scrolling), is on a tablet, without desktop setting on, and just as bad if I switch to desktop settings.

I would just appreciate the correct info being copied without change, from old site to new (other than if an actual mistake had been showing on the old site, which had been spotted/notified before the switch and was being corrected on the new site).

WF you've got a very good grasp of this 'lingo'.  Better watch out as they may call on you to translate formerly easy to read English into 'modern business' English. 
NB mild degree of sarcasm

Vast experience in writing this sort of stuff at a "world leading" US university

When I checked an example, religion is incorrect.
The original form in the 1911 clearly states the family members were Church of Ireland.
The transcription states Roman Catholic.

Have tested some more. Just like the example I gave at reply #14,  another household return has results that give random, extra members in the list of residents. On clicking through from each of those random, extra members though, the resulting summary page, if clicking on one of the rogue, extra residents, gave the summary details for the correct household member in the line above (when clicking through from a correct member, details were of correct member).

So, eg

A list with residents:

A  known member
B. rogue member
C. known member
D. rogue member
E. known member

Clicking through from each of A, C and D respectively, results in record summary for A, C and D respectively.

Clicking through from B and D respectively, results in record summary for A and C.

There must have been a lot of negative feedback for them to put the old site back online.

I emailed a large number of points to them this afternoon. I know the Irish pro genealogy circles were buzzing today. as far as I know, no one was asked to test it in advance.

@Purpeller, did any of those points include issues similar to those I have highlighted on this thread, or would it be worth me emailing too (conscious of trying not to duplicate notification of issue examples, as that would just create even more workload for them at what methinks will be turning out to be a rather busy time already, judging by these 'teething' problems)?

I do wonder if they forgot the old addage of Test, test and test again, and/or lost or didn't follow, their data migration checklist. I also wonder which, if any, user group was used to do a Beta trial of the new site before the launch.
