Tree viewers on Ancestry
« on: Saturday 25 October 25 13:53 BST (UK) »
Until a month or two ago (not sure when; I don't often look), there was a button top right on my Ancestry tree labelled Activity, from which I could choose "viewers" to see if anyone had been looking at the tree that week. 

The Activity button has disappeared, and although in account settings the toggle for "recent viewers" is still there, there doesn't seem to be any way to use this feature any more.

Am I looking in the wrong place?

Thanks Comberton :).  Didn't see what they'd done with it.

Interesting, I was wondering where it had gone too.  It used to list a few people who had viewed my tree.  Now it says no views yet.

I think it only lists recent tree viewers - in the last 7 days. So your earlier viewers would have expired. I agree to say no viewers YET is misleading, because there have been in the past
Berks / Oxon: Eltham, Annetts, Wiltshire (surname not county), Hawkins, Pembroke, Partridge
Dorset / Hants: Derham, Stride, Purkiss, Sibley
Yorkshire: Pottage, Carr, Blackburn, Depledge
Sussex: Goodyer, Christopher, Trevatt
Lanark: Scott (soldier went to Jersey CI)
Jersey: Fowler, Huelin, Scott
