I've just gone back to my Home page and discovered it's reinvented itself in a new format. Better/worse - don't know yet. J

Looks nice apart from the mis-spelling of 'Caribbean'! As long as you can still get to these message boards straight from the home page (and you can) I don't really mind what it looks like. The search and the hot matches bit look good anyway (shame the actual hot matches system is rubbish, but let's not get into that now). Kate.

I'm not impressed Anne

Not too keen personally. And, yes, the spelling is something with which they still have a problem ie everday and Caribbean.

According to the homepage for mine, I have more people in my tree, than what it says in my Family Tree builder. Debbie

I like it, now I can get to the tips board in just one click and I'm not faced with the sometimes strange ramblings on the success board. Lynn

Thought it was my eyes - will reserve judgement on better/worse until I've been on here and used it a few times. Looby On second thoughts, not so hot, just had another look and I know I'm getting old, but white writing on pale blue for the links on the left just doesn't work for me, can't read the b****y things!!!

You could get to Tips in one click on bottom-right of the old Home Page - as I did routinely. It looks well-arranged. What's (sadly) missing - or even more invisible than before - is Getting Started and Useful Links (however out-of-date some were, the idea was good.) Christine

Yes- that really highlights the truth of the expression ''won't be missed''... I hadn't noticed the celebrity trees had gone! Christine

nudge for Horatia - and I see they have corrected the spelling of Caribbean since I posted on here! Perhaps they read this thread??? Kate.

They still haven't addressed the problem of making some users aware that Hot Matches are sent out by GR and not the members. I'm tired of people messaging me to say we don't have a match when I heve never contacted them in the first place!!! It's about time they made this clearer! Cheers, Horatia
