About 1/2 hr ago I logged in successfully via FTM09 and all running ok

About 10 mins ago for some reason Ancestry switched to the old form of search (I use the new one!).

When I contacted Ancestry about this problem which occurred a few months ago, they said that it was because they were having trouble with the server connecting with FTM, although if people searched just using plain Ancestry on the web they would be alright and he suggested I used the search facility away from FTM.

I have no doubt that they will rectify the problem as soon as they are able to.

I've this problem since before Christmas, but despite emailing Ancestry and them changing my password, no change whatsoever  :( The login page still won't load ("this page cannot be displayed") for either .com or co.uk

Sometimes I can get saved Census' to work, other days they won't load either. The front page works fine.

Not sure if it's me or them!
I am interested in finding out more about these families:

Branthwayt(e): Thrapston, Northamptonshire
Branwhite: Suffolk and Essex
Flude: London
Godfrey: Hertfordshire and Romford, Essex
Gregory: Derbyshire and Shoreditch, London
Lowen: Epping in Essex
Matty: Tewkesbury  in Glucestershire and Essex
Mills; Hackney, London
Monro: Berwickshire, Hertfordshire, London
Oliver: from Essex
Sadler: Shoreditch and Hackney
Shorten: Belchamp Walter, Essex
Tickell: recorded in Shoreditch
