Used to be so good but a contact I had today was the first for a year and thats with over a 1000 names on my tree. Hotmail is there in name only, does it ever work? Even the contact messages now are 'Can I please look at your tree'. not even a hint as to who or why they want to look at. Also fine if you are English on this site but the Scottish facilities are useless or non existent. Will probably save my tree and depart at the next renewal. :-P |

Alan, I hate those "can I look at your tree" messages. I have a large tree and have started ignoring them if they have not opened their tree to me. |

I found when I still had a tree on here that after about 1 year the hot matches became more and more bizarre. I do believe that after the initial rush of matches when you first start that they will die off as the matches will often pop up several times. And without adding lots of new people, there will be less likely matches for you to try. |

Well, the older members (me included) have always called them 'Not Matches' for obvious reasons ;-) |

re the "Request to View Your Tree" - see my thread on the subject. Estelle has promised to get rid of this default message :-) |

Genes were at one time telling us not to open our trees unless we had a match! |
