It's one thing to tamper with look and feel but when it is functionality - it is painful to be a user in this iterative mode. wallingbm@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15031946938630471539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5512311610334754148.post-20406671865989266172015-07-30T08:25:06.971-06:002015-07-30T08:25:06.971-06:00I could manage with the new version, but the two p...I could manage with the new version, but the two pieces that I use regularly, Member Connect and Family Group Sheet, are apparently a low priority.

I don't care what the explanation is for it not working. I've been waiting for THREE years for the to fix it and it only gets worse. But being a professional genealogist, unfortunately Ancestry is one of those Damned if you do, Damned if you don't type of things. But I will say this....I am removing every tree I've built on their site (and that's over 200 of them!) because of the continued reports of how they are SELLING the online trees to third parties. And I am SO glad I did not do my DNA testing through them because they have sold that information as well. <br /><br />But Ancestry better watch out.....there are many alternatives to them that have entered the race and many of them are FREE to use. It's almost to the point where you can find just about everything you have to pay Ancestry for on free sites.

Didn't think I would. And I have continued to see improvements. I haven't seen one thing I asked for, Military pages, but I'm hopeful something along those lines returns. Other than that, good job Ancestry with the new design. It appears to have been created to make us better researchers and better assessors of our work so far.

Customer have been submitting constructive feed back, as Ms.Lewis calls it, for weeks. Examples, details, snapshots of the issues have been provided. Most of them are not listed in their sorry blog, and almost none of them have been corrected. You are out of touch.

Not like it's free. The timeline story they attach to our timelines are terrible. We tell our own story in own research, not the Mickey Mouse story that Ancestry wants to attach. They are sticking with circles for photos which not only cuts off heads, but in the case of a posted headstone instead of a portrait, it just diesn't work. In addition in the past we could attach media items directly to our timelines; An important feature lost I am afraid.<br />Kenmaaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01406052492549424112noreply@blogger.com
