Whilst there was no message in my inbox today, the Contact was on page one of my 83 page contact list so no big deal today.

What I am questioning is why a GR advice that someone have given me access no longer appears as a message in my inbox.

This is what appears to have changed within the past few weeks.

Well that may well be the case if you don’t communicate with may people other than this board and your contact file only has a few. But when you have 48 pages, ok you can do a search but whilst they are notifying you the direct link would not go amiss.

I just go to my Inbox and it is usually there as the most recent message. You can then access the tree direct from the message. No need to search contacts.

Update - at least, this is how it used to work until recently. Has it just changed? I have a new notification this lunch time but no message in my Inbox.

Today I received a notification from Genes reunited to say that I had been given access to a persons family tree on Genes Reunited. Stating the name of this person but no direct link other than a general link to “Click here to review your tree permissions”.
Wouldn’t it be a good if you were able to go direct to that person without having to search for them in one’s contact folder.
