Ancestry Changes
« on: Wednesday 13 June 12 22:20 BST (UK) »
It may not be appropriate to post this here, if at all  ::) so please do deal with it as appropriate, Moderators  :)

I've not been onto Ancestry for a while because of work etc but whenever I do, I check what is new on the site by clicking on something like 'See all updates...'

However, the new chatty friendly interface inviting me to do Facebook and Twitter and stuff seems to have removed this possibility.

I'm probably being dense, but if they haven't got rid of it entirely, could some kind person help me find it before I tear more of my hair out?

Thank you very much  ;D

It still tells me it can get all updates. On the same line as the Twitter and FB links - at the left hand side.

Is that what you mean?

Jen :)

Well I did look at that, Jen, but it only gives a sort of overview....

What I'm used to is a date-ordered list with everything in it, not just a hand picked selection  ???

PS Thanks for moving me, Nell... I thought I'd got the wrong area ::)

Just above the Twitter link, if you click on 'view all new records' it shows a dated list of updates. ???

Thanks mofid42.... it was really puzzling me  ::) I still don't seem to have it though - perhaps it takes a while to filter through to rural Gloucestershire  ;D
