Sorry for the delay in replying. I swapped to Edge and it was okay, so i thought it was a problem with Chrome.

I've now followed your instructions Maggi and Andysmum and its solved the problem- I must have altered it accidently at some point

Thank you both very much

Under the arrows that Maggie mentioned you should have a zoom in/out symbol. This changes the box size.

Thank you Rollo. Control- reduced the print size but not the inf box problem. I've still only got delete on show. I'll try your other suggestion .

Update:- I haven't got the Edit button available. It's Delete or nothing, I'll try logging out and back in again.....No it's still the same

GR have not changed anything the current look has been in force for years.
In order to update information from the tree view click on "edit" for a person. A form will then open at the right hand side of the screen in which you can update information. It is possible that you will have to scroll down to see all of the form including the "save" button.

The current version of GR was designed for a screen size of about 1400x900.
The most popular current resolution is about 1920x1080.
I am running GR on a 4K screen without any problems.

The display size can be temporarily enlarged or diminished by using Ctrl+ and Ctrl-.

Just logged onto Genes and the print size has increased. Now, on my tree, the information box is too small for the info. Where you click on the person yo add a person to them like sibling, the only option I get is delete as the rest doesn't fit in the more. I've checked 'settings' for my browser but nothing has changed there. It's only on GR. Any ideas on how to put it back as it was. Thank you
