	Trying to view a thread on Find Ancestors and got thrown onto a new home page where you go around and around in circles to get back to the boards and back onto the site. Fed up with experiments that are not working
	Researching: Think the picture says it all.

	I was also going around in circles. Were you going clockwise or counterclockwise? We might have had a head-on collision. When I finally was able to respond on a thread I had to type in a little box the size of a postage stamp. You'd think they would at least have the courtesy to inform us when they're going to have their little experiments.

	I've just had the whole site change on me in the last 15 minutes ........... ....... everything (and I mean everything) is spread down the left side of the page. I went away from my desk for a few minutes, site was left on .................. and this is the result when I returned. .co.sa is working perfectly .............. this is where I am at the moment sylvia

	I gave up earlier as this site froze my browsing session. Site has changed again with more rubbish showing.

	Can I put in a personal injury claim against GR for the wear and tear on my finger with all the scrolling you have to do to use this site ?

	announcement by Phil and I have just rec' email quote in part "On your 'Search records' page, you'll find five new options: Exact matching - Results that only match the precise name spelling Name variants - Different spelling variations, in case a name was mistranscribed By census reference number - Making it easier to find the exact record Narrow your search - Add names of other relations you think will be on the census Search by letter - Type in just a K for all names which start with that letter"

	But that doesn't explain what they've done to the rest of the site. I never use "Search Records" on this site.

	I have been a member for about 6yrs and every time the site is 'improved' there is an outcry. Seldom use it now and particularly since the latest effort at a Tree which I find impossible to negotiate and totally confusing
