Other current problems:
a) Images not available - replaced by a 'placeholder' image and they have no idea when this will be rectified (London Workhouse & Soldier's Effects are particularly bad)
British telephone books 'search' has not been working for quite a while and despite complaints they don't seem bothered. Images are there though. They have also said they don't know when that will be fixed.
The placeholder image has been an issue previously although not on such a large scale and does eventually get resolved. Ancestry have never been known to be that quick fixing such problems, although in this case its so widespread that it may get fixed quicker.
Another issue being the recently released Wiltshire Wills & Probates. There are missing pages for a number of Registered Wills. Where an Original Will for the same person also exists, its not such a big issue. Ancestry are apparently working on it according to WSHC.
I also quite like the new bold heading font.
As to moving to FindMyPast, depends whether they have the record sets you wish to use and its worth bearing in mind that they do not have the same Family Trees facilities as Ancestry. While they have recently announced their new global one family tree in conjunction with Familysearch, cynical me thinks that all you will be doing is updating the one global family tree on Familysearch where anyone can change anything at any time. I've been told that the announcement doesn't say this but considering that the FAQs say that Familysearch has been selected as the "cornerstone of this initiative", personally to me that reads more likely that is the case but as its still in beta format only time will tell. Obviously if you are OK with how the Familysearch one global tree works then its not an issue.
