Find Ancestors

Didn't like it this morning! Still don't like it this evening!
reading the boards is extremely difficult!
Everything seems so squashed - can hardly distinguish between posts!
haven't got any glare and the adverts don't really bother me -
but I can't help on the boards if I can't read them well enough!

A bit of a shock when I came onto the site tonight.
I'll have to get used to it, but I am sick of the "Airwick Gorilla" already and have only been on for an hour. We could do without the adverts.We come on this to ask for help or to try and help others!!

Just noticed,

The left hand column with the ads etc., has decreased in size - Thank you for listening and acting on our suggestions GR.

You don't often do that but in this instance it seems that you have.

Many thanks,

I was shocked at first-thought I had the wrong site. Takes a bit of getting used to, like anything new, but... I like it. The look is altogether more professional and modern and is not hard to get around. I love the colour scheme, and the gilt frames around the photographs, but...that side bar on the left is very distracting, and frankly, off putting. Surely GR could have filled the space with something of more interest to it's members who are using the site for serious research. The top bar adverts are bad enough, but lose the side bar! Otherwise, well done, GR.

For "matches", why can't they include these as ranked - 1, 2, 3 or 4 star
Example with name :
Match the birth year only - 1 star
Match birth year and location - 2 star
Match birth year, death year, location - 3 star
Match birth year, death year, marriage year, location - 4 star

There may be other combinations that could help eliminate/minimise unnecessary matches - the above are just thoughts off the top of the head.

The results pages should then allow you to rank them in order, so you can look at the HOT 3 & 4 star matches first, then wade through the 1 & 2 star as last resorts.

Just a thought!!

Looks good and professional but ...

... Too cluttered .... too many advertisements ... pages take eternity to koad ...adverts never looked at ... simply 'static' to format

... Trying to find ... entries too close together ... prefer more spacing between entries (I suffer from eye fatigue through age)

... Hot matches .... box where you could select "Newest" seems to have been omitted ... I don't want to have to scroll through many pages just to find new entries

Unfortunately I don't have broadband connection so takes forever to load up

Love the colours .... Wimbledon tennis .... or Fremantle 'Dockers' in AFL

Best wishes

Well......I hated this new version...until to-day.

I see that the left hand column with the ads etc., has decreased in size AND when viewing my family tree...I can now see all the details of a select person without having to scroll down the page.

Perhaps now GR will see that the messages on the boards need re jigging slightly and sort that one out too.

Green is supposed to be restful...........but I must say .........................white background...............black print.................much easier on the eye!

Hi Everyone

I had a shock when I came on to this site and I thought my computer had gone wrong, I have been on this site for half an hour and I find it is straining my eyes. It needs to be improved 100% more. I hope the GR team will read this message.

Personally I think its terrible and even slower than it was before and why we are being deluged with ads when we pay is beyond me!!!

Hi Tree Hunters

It looks as if GR Team have listened to us and come up trumps, well done GR, you have done us proud.

Happy Tree Hunting
