When we contact someone it comes up with there name and say,s about your tree and at the end it say,s allow .Do,s this mean that every time we contact people they can see our tree???? I have just been in and changed them all to remove . What do you think ? are we giving permission to everyone ,i dont understand ,or am i stupid !!!!! Val

Hiya Val I've just checked the help screen on the contacts sections cos I wasnt 100% certain. but it says if you want someone to have access to your tree you click the "access" button and then if you want to stop them having access to your tree you click the "remove" button. Karen

Val I think Liz is right. Looks like you've just given permission for everyone to view your tree! Dee x

Liz is right, if someone already has access to your tree it will say remove, which gives you the option to no longer let them view it. If it says allow and you click that, it then lets someone see your tree. If a tree shows in the column beside their name it means you have been permitted to see their tree. I know that all sounds like double Dutch but hope it's helpful Christine

Have just contacted someone about a name in their tree, at the end I noticed there was a tick box which allows them to see your tree, you have to untick it, if you don't want them to have that facility

If you go into Your Cotacts it says Contacts name regarding date Their tree Your tree Request Allow What i want to know is if you do not want them to see your tree do you have to click on allow and then remove comes up which means they cannot see your tree am i right .I have no picture,s of tree,s as yet .ALLOW IS THERE FROM THE START . EVEN MORE CONFUSED VAL

Val, I have only given two people permission to view my tree- currently both those names say 'remove' against them. All the others say allow. Therefore, if you have 'remove' against your contacts than it means they can see your tree. If you don't want them to, change it back to 'allow'.
