Hi BilboBaggins,

I got there in the end my fault as the old scottish saying goes, I couldn't see for looking!! Why do they always say that, I haven't got an answer to that yet!!

Hi Betty, to be fair they haven't changed the way you access trees - it is pretty much the same as it was.

Incidentally you cant access a tree from the other members PM, you need to go to "My Contacts" or try my suggestion

Hi BilboBaggins,

Why don't they just make it simple like before?

Everything has to be complicated all the time.

I will give your way a try as I stil can't find it and he isn't replying now so must be offline.

Alternatively, open your own tree then click on the drop down list next to "View Other Trees" top right of the screen. A list will appear with all the trees you have been given access to.

If someone sends you a message they should appear in your 'contacts'. Click on the messages link above and then on 'contacts' on the left. You will have a list of people who have contacted you. Alongside their name click on 'view'.
