However nowadays when you click on the totals found in other peoples' trees, a completely different number of entries show up. Today I looked for entries added in the last day and most of the totals shown were incorrect e.g. 34 in summary 23 shown, 3 in summary zero shown, 25 in summary and 1 shown Annoying enough but what if it is sometimes the other way round? The summary might show 0 hits when just the one you wanted was sitting there. I reported this when it first started happening several months ago but apart from an acknowledgement there appears to have been no action. This used to be the most reliable and useful genealogy site but now you I treat it with caution.

GR were looking at this last year and I was under the impression it had been fixed, but obviously not so.We will probably have to wait until the next upgrade until it is sorted.
