You mean that despite being warned in August, you've only now decided to take a look?!
Since I have had NO internet access, for almost 2 years, except an odd hour at my part time library every week or so, I was unaware of what this site was to become.
I was asked to TRY the new layout, (once I had established an internet supplier). I didn't like it, so I carried on using the 'old one'.
Lo and behold, while adding information to my tree last night, without warning it switched to the new layout.
At this moment in time, I feel like deleting my trees, and going elsewhere. I will try and persevere, but I can't see it happening. I'll give it a serious go, and see what happens.
But at the moment, it's not looking very good for that site, as far as I'm concerned. Why fix what isn't broken, and they will never go back to what was a very easy, and usable layout, despite their little problems with it.
Too much time and money spent, for them to backtrack. Typical for a site and country, that does not want to ask it's customers for their opinion that actually use it, and pay for it.
There is obviously a reason why the old and new, cannot work side by side. And I do not know why, nor do I care. They are the masters of it all, so I, and others have to make that choice, of to carry on with it, or dump it. But I would guess, a good majority will try and persevere.
Time will tell, but it still stinks, in my opinion.
Oh yes, I have quite a few rellies from PENN in Buckinghamshire, and not Pennsylvania, USA, thank goodness. Are these people,(so called transcribers) unaware, that there is life outside the USA in Bucks.
