I personally hate this new tree, it is so unwieldy to move around. I liked the the old tree and do any additions on the old option. I liked having the photo and all the information in the notes section all in one place.
By the way my photos have vanished along with my notes

Thr Certainty field is a brilliant idea. I hope it gets used properly.

Old and new are taking an age to load, there is one picture that has gone completely, and don't know why they ditched the frames, they were nice to match to the period, bring back the old new tree lolol.

Thank you RamblingRose, I didn't receive an e-mail. I don't care what they have done to the new tree, I'm sticking to the old one. As Reggie says it's far superior.

There was an 'opt out of this type of email' link at the end of the message. Perhaps those who didn't get one had previously opted out.

Joy right at the very bottom of the email ( below the green and above the address) it says

" If you no longer wish to receive this type of email please unsubscribe here"

On GR's email, kindly quoted by RR for those of us who didn't get one, it says


Our members said:

How do I view other trees?


We changed the text and made it more obvious.

Please could someone explain how it is more obvious, as the facility for viewing trees of contacts seems to have disappeared. Or am I being particularly stupid??

Thank you, Rose. If I receive such an email one day then I shall look for that :)

So far, apart from the expected comments about changes, I haven't seen any about the latest tree not working. Has anyone found an actual fault with the new tree?

Kense

Kense Report 13 Jul 2012 07:42

Is that tree icon new? I haven't noticed it before, it certainly enables you to zip round your tree very quickly.

I have just sent this to GR:


Please advise the criteria for people to receive this email.

Does everyone have the revised new tree or is it only those who received the email?

Estelle

Estelle Report 13 Jul 2012 14:29

Hi everyone,
just for confirmation, we sent the email to all the members who had sent in feedback via the new tree. However, I have taken the information we put in the email and created a blog from it that all members will be able to see. I have asked Phil (our lead developer) to load this to the site for me as soon he gets a chance.

Kind regards,

Estelle

Joy

Joy Report 13 Jul 2012 18:40

Perhaps not, Estelle; one person has posted that she had not sent feedback.

I think Estelle is probably right about the feedback and I am having a senior moment forgetting it. Having thought for a while I do remember complaining that on the new tree I could put a name and date of birth in the search box, the name would come up as present on my tree but when I clicked on it nothing happened - the screen stayed exactly the same. That would probably count as feedback, although at the time I just thought I was having a moan.

I have now received an e-mail. Thought I would have a look at the new tree but can't get on it. I'm not sure if its my rubbish computer or the site as I can get on the old tree. Never mind I always prefered the old one anyway, just as well eh.
Ah well it gives me something to moan about.

Hope you all have a good weekend.

I have just managed to get on to the new tree and like Chris my photo's have vanished as well as notes. As I said before the old tree is far superior and I'm sticking to it.
