Hi , when I view large tree I enter the person I'm looking for in the white ( where tree owner's name is , or if tree owner hidden box top and then whichever name id there )
Also the date and then click on this tree .
Should take you to the person you are interested in .Then you can click on full tree ,descendants etc
Hope that helps ...apologies if already know all that .

I have replied to your thread with the same heading on the Tips Board. It might be more helpful not to use this one, and keep the disussion going on 'Tips'.

What is the general view on the optimum size of someone's family tree posted on GR? I received a hot match report from GR and made contact with the person in question. However, although I have been allowed access to their tree, there are nearly 49,000 names listed on the tree and it is therefore impossible to view any of the ancestors named. What's more, the person who posted the tree isn't able to work out the connection either and admits that it is due to the size of their tree!

What's the point?
