On a similar note, does anyone know if the "Recently Added" list that used to be on the front page is still lurking around somewhere?
It was useful for discovering when Ancestry had snuck in an update or new records before they updated the banner, as this oten takes days (and often doesn't happen for updated recordsets).

i have a records/offers/update square on the home page. Says see all the latest news. Is that the one you mean

Hi Maddie,
I originally posted a response to this, and guess what?
I now have the same search screen that you have.
It is really really annoying and I am not quite sure how to rectify it either.
I can still ultimitely find what I am looking for, but it is a very a long winded process.

Every now and then, for no reason, I get logged out of Anc and asked to subscibe. My sub does not expire until the end of this year!
It takes ages, but I can eventually get logged back in, only to be thrown out again.
Anc said the prob is caused by cookies... IT is not!
I unblock all cookies, log back in to Anc and as soon as I locate the record... I get kicked out again.

After several attempts to re log in this morning, I find that I now have that stupid search page that you originally posted about
I also logged on via a 2nd PC and have exactly the same problems.

BTW
when emailing ANC why do they insist on responding with a link?
I would not be emailing them if I hadn't already referred to it.


EDIT
Whoops. Apologies for my long winded rant, I just worked out how to get my original looking screen back!
Click on search records
Search screen has defaulted to :Sort by Category
There is a wee drop menu...
Chose the other option: Sort by Relevance
And my original search sreen has now returned

Hi Ann
thank you for that
but on mine the drop down box displays sort by relevance, if i change it to category I can get back into the old search.
best wishes
Maddie
