Unless I'm the last to find out...

Definitely a bit buggy

when I click in the marriage box I then get extra boxes for the spouse

Add in t he souse surname

Click search and it takes me back to a blank search page

Or is it just me?

no I have the same result. I then clicked on the feedback button and reported the problem. If  we let them know then they will find the problem and rectify it. If we don't do the feedback then its more difficult for them to sort out the problems

One thing I use a lot on the old freebmd is the district sometimes after selecting the county and choosing the area I think most likely.  This new freebmd seems to expect you to know the name of the district without any help from them

Thanks - my computer and browser can be a bit odd so I tend to check that others are seeing the same before I report

To keep the existing info in the boxes you have to click "revise search"
but it positions the screen too high, so only half your search is visible.
It needs to position the name boxes at the top of the screen.

Having selected exact match on first names, then type the name, you still get a list of variants which you didn't want to see.
Having not selected phonetic search surnames, -ditto-.  Distracting.

I agree about not being able to see a list of districts within a selected county.
Countries gives you the option of All England, All Wales.  Useful.
But if you type "All", you also get CornwALL. - logical?!

The original FreeBMD is still available - does anyone know if this will always be available, or only for a limited time?

Searched for a marriage. found the bride. So how do I find her possible husbands? Used to be possible on old freebmd

Tap the number in the line headed ‘page’

Or tap “view marriage”

I don't seem to have a "view marriage" box

When I click page no it does give me all the brides and grooms, but so spread out that it is a lot more more bother to copy and paste into notepad, then delete all the repetitions

Ah, i think it is because it is a pre (1911?) marriage
The one I was looking at was 1934. But I’ve just tried an 1898 one, and have the same issue you have. Spread out boxes.

Afraid I've gone back to the old version.

The new one doesn't gve it to me in a concise enough format to cut and paste, and finding the other half of a marriage is so much harder! Especially when you're not sure exactly when the marriage was, or which of several it might be.

Life's too short.

Completely agree
