Mine seems to be OK again now - it's been reported as clear on Facebook, had to clear cache and cookies to get it back to normal.

I've manually removed the Ancestry cookies and cleared temp files but still getting same problem in IE but with all of the top page links forcing to the .com website.  On Firefox I'd been getting the "new" Ancestry homepage minus quick links for some time but cleared cookies etc and that has now reverted to the "old" homepage with quick links but every page I visit I get the cookies message.

I really don't want to have to clear all cookies from within IE 'cos it causes issues with some other webpages but looks like I'm going to have to. :-X  It should really be OK but just removing the Ancestry cookies. ::)

Well I've reluctantly removed cookies which has reverted the site back to what it should be.  I do still have quick links but I still suspect they've been up to something to roll out the "new" homepage minus them and then aborted it.  Only time will tell. :-X

Now to fix the issues deleting cookies does with other websites.

In my quick links box, it is saying that the feature is unavailable due to maintenance........ I guess whatever maintenance they are doing may affect the rest of the site too in different ways.

A lot of us have had problems over the last few days.
No search box on the UK census page for me. Just the try reloading page link.
Did all the stuff, changed browser, deleted history etc. Finally did a system restore. No change. following day all OK.
Stick with it.

I've had problems with the revise search "box" disappearing on results pages intermittently.  Had to keep going back a page to amend the criteria for a revised search.  Didn't happen all the time even searching on a specific collection through Quick Links.  Be interesting to see if clearing cookies has resolved this.
