I'm wearing sunglasses!!! I thought I was getting snow blindness

Don't like this at all, it's far too bright.

I will NOT be adjusting the brightness - all the other sites I use are fine.

I haven't looked at my tree yet ~ is it also this bright? Geez, I miss the awful green flock wallpaper already.

Why do I have NO emoticons?? I NEED to blow a BIG raspberry!!!

Well, none of us should be expected to change our screen appearance in order to actually read the content of a site we pay for.

I wear tinted specs and even my eyes are fighting to focus whilst typing this :-(

OK just looked at my tree again...

AAARGH! I thought the last 'new tree' was hideous, but this is summink else! :-S

BTW, if there's a space for photos in the tree boxes, why haven't they copied our photos into them? Why just use male and female cliparts?

Bob, if you click on the numbered stars in your tree, it shows you how many record/tree matches there are for that person.


I have emoticons when I use Google Chrome but not when I use IE. Maybe I need to do something technical???

Where do I look at my tree please?
Can someone please talk me through?
I rarely look at the tree lay-out as I have an off line record, but would like to see how it looks now.
Clicking on various tabs I fail to see where it's gone :-(

Try this, it worked for me, ( members with laptops ) increased zoom level from 100% to 125% and open lid further back, makes screen a shade darker.

Gwyn at the very top near the purple GR logo , you'll se 'Home' then 'Family Tree' in black...click on and should say 'my tree'...though mine's not working when I get to it.

Definately not as easy to read as its been! Background is glaring , feels uncomfortable after a while and has lost all character.
