I have batt;ed for over an hour to get details from my tree to look up something for a member, the new format as far as I am concerned has totally gone backwards. I hbave now just given up. I could only get one page of my tree and it wouldn't search. As far as I am concerned it is now not worth the effort.

I totally agree with you Valerie.
I spent hours yesterday trying to change a Year of Birth on one of my entries .

I could see where to edit but could not find the save button .

After checking with other members I found it at the bottom of the page but had to go to 75% for it to show up.

It is hopeless and so slow to do anything........but still no word from Genes.

I don't think they are reading anything we post and have no intentions of changing a thing.

I agree! No one seems to be listening to the views of the majority of members.

I have to say I hate the new system and much preferred my 'old' tree. I have tried editing family members but cannot see any way of saving the details. I feel like it is to much of an effort for something that is supposed to be fun! :-|

Hi Fay

I had the same trouble .

When you are in your tree turn your Zoom leval down to 75%. (bottom right hand corner of your screen)

You will see the save button at the bottom of the page

I hope it helps.

PS: Just had a look and found the save button :-D very pleased as was thinking about starting a tree elsewhere - but so much time and effort involved in that :-S

I wonder how long it will be before we get the new tree?

I expect we will get the same moans when it appears even though it will offer multiple trees.

multiple trees?

I get confused with the one, I don't need more!

btw, I also have a tree on software, thousands more names than are on my GR tree, and it doesn't confuse me at all! Very easy to use.

Hi Valerie,

The site hasn't changed recently. However, we are working on a new tree. If you have comments/suggestions regarding the tree, could I ask you to add them to the tree thread? All comments are taken on board for development.

Regards

Shelley
