I am trying to check "My Tree Matches". I get the result page but when I select a name to view I get to the "Success" page not the "Trying to Find".. I would hardly call that a success.
Could someone try and see if it is the same for them please.

If you click on the no under "Matches in other Family Trees", which is the option I suspect most people use regularly, it works correctly.

I think you are tying to say that if you click on the number in one of the "Message Board Posts" columns, this takes you to the wrong place? I get the same.

There have been a couple of issues with links over the past few days.Can you report it to GR, please, giving them the exact details on what you are clicking on and the result you are getting, and where you think it is wrong.

thanks Peter..
I have had no problems using this before. Clicking on the "Matches in other Family Trees" column takes me to all the matches - as in Searching Family Trees. Clicking under the "Message Board Posts" now takes me to 'Success Board" - previously it took me to a list of messages selected by name.

I will report it but am still waiting for a useful answer to another problem. When I search family trees I get several pages of names. Sometimes I can step through all the pages but often it throws me back to the selection page with heading 'Enter a surname" (or similar.
