Recently a number of messages on this board indicated that some people did not have a Go button which would enable them to view shared trees in the new tree viewer. I've just discovered that if you have your text size set to larger sizes for easier viewing , this makes the GO button disappear. It even cannot be retrieved by horizontally scrolling. If you use Internet Explorer (sorry I don't know how other browsers differ), go to the top of the screen and you will see File, Edit, View, Favorites, Tools, Help. Click on View and move your cursor down the list to Text Size. You will then see a range of sizes (Smallest, Smaller, Medium, Larger, Largest) and be able to change your text viewing size. When mine is set to Medium, the GO button is on the tree page; any larger and it has gone! Hope this helps someone!

And the new tree viewer was tested properly?

I agree Clive! This sort of issue should have been picked up when the program was a mere twinkle! For something as basic as this to have crept past the GR developers doesn't exaclty inspire confidence, does it?
