Mallcolm, GR took your money for thefacility to send messages and post on the board. They didn't take money for the tree, that is available to free members.

The new tree is horrible and the photo function is appalling!! Why do the photos no longer appear with the record? And when you do locate them (more mouse clicks, thanks GR) they are absolutely tiny and hardly worth seeing. I used to show off my tree to other people but the photos are ridiculous now. Thanks GR for taking my money and then making my tree unusable.......... :-(

Hi Sally, we are going to look at ways to make the tree easier to access for those that use screen readers.

If any of you are having problems with the tree then please check our help pages where cover many of the general questions asked. If you'd prefer a personal response then please contact our support team - [email protected].

Kind regards,

Estelle

I didn't see it RR'd but to be fair, perhaps someone did so as a duplicate, which it isn't other than the subject line :-D

The one on Genealogy Chat was to alert members that it was in 'Announcements' as not everyone remembers to look there daily ( I don't) ...this one was to 'suggest' that GR might have given more notice of intent, which I think they could have and would have been considerate. :-D

Wow, that's the fastest I think a post has been reinstated after being RR'd.

So to the person who RR'd in the first place :-P

Here is a little tip:-
Hold down control on your keyboard and turn scroll wheel to zoom out.
At the top of tree page there is; "View other trees" which gives you"Tree dashboard" Again zoom out and you will see any additional pages.

It has been restored now.

I don't want to see the old tree and the new one does list trees available to me.

Seems strange that someone has seen fit to RR this thread even though Estelle has already replied to the OP.

I agree Renes. They're NOT listening!!

I have posted on at least three other boards, and sent emails to GR - I am NOT renewing my membership.

I wouldn't buy something in a shop that was broken, so why would I pay for GR's broken tree? I've had enough.

I'm NOT on the automatic renewal - it's due 22nd August (later than I first thought), but if GR even THINK about changing that (they've done it before) I will kick and scream!!

btw - I had to sign in this time, and I had NOT signed out. Site working as well as expected.

:-P :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P

Thankyou, I will do that Estelle, I hadn't had any problems with the 'old new tree' just this 'new new tree', but I only have a few people on there so it isn't much of a problem, hope the members with larger trees are not finding the same though.

Maybe GR might have given a couple of days warning for those who don't like the new tree?
