Mike - I complained about that, quoting a search I was doing as evidence.  Guess what they changed it just for that search and ignored the rest of the site  ::)

Well I`m very pleased to report that I have just discovered I still have the old search on my tablet.   ;D  There`s no logic to it  ::)

Is that an ironic comment?

My (very politely worded) suggestion on the feedback forum about reinstating the "known issues" information re the censuses, formerly found in the Knowledge Base, has vanished. Deleted?

I know it is far from the most pressing issue (!) but why would they delete it?

For any one who is unable to "sign in" to the new site because of unrecognised e-mail or password try resetting your password. It worked for me. :)

For those having trouble with the newspaper images, this offer may be of interest:

www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=682882.msg5273284

I must say I find the BNA site really good and easy to use.

(I know it involves further outlay, but a couple of people have said they're desperate).
