Member Since: August 2007 Posts: 572 Send Message	Try this, it worked for me, ( members with laptops ) increased zoom level from 100% to 125% and open lid further back, makes screen a shade darker. F.

	Where do I look at my tree please? Can someone please talk me through? I rarely look at the tree lay-out as I have an off line record, but would like to see how it looks now. Clicking on various tabs I fail to see where it's gone :-( Gwyn

	Bob, if you click on the numbered stars in your tree, it shows you how many record/tree matches there are for that person. I have emoticons when I use Google Chrome but not when I use IE. Maybe I need to do something technical???

	OK just looked at my tree again... AAARGH! I thought the last 'new tree' was hideous, but this is summink else! :-S BTW, if there's a space for photos in the tree boxes, why haven't they copied our photos into them? Why just use male and female cliparts?

	Well, none of us should be expected to change our screen appearance in order to actually read the content of a site we pay for. I wear tinted specs and even my eyes are fighting to focus whilst typing this :-( Sue
