Ancestry.co.uk keeps trying to ...
« on: Friday 16 November 18 17:39 GMT (UK) »
… take me to Ancestry.com.

I "stay" logged in to Ancestry.co.uk,rather than doing it each time I visit, and when I try to search, say, military records, I put the details in of the peep I'm looking for and click Search.  It sometimes takes me to Ancestry.com and wants me to log-in again.  Sometimes I can go backwards and find I'm back at co.uk but sometimes not, so I have to click on the Ancestry logo (top l/h corner) to get back to the Home Page and try again.

It's a real pain in the do-da.

Is it just me, or is this sort of thing happening to others?

Thanks

You're not alone, it keeps happening to me too. 

Actually Ancestry is being a pain in many other ways at the moment

That's been happening to me for ages. It also happens when I search through Family Tree Maker.
I'm also getting lots of Error 404 File Not Found and Sorry , page not available. If you contact Ancestry I am sure they will say that it's your settings , or something similar , but , on past experience I would say it's a mistake to change anything , best to wait and hope it improves.

Not a good standard of service though !

Me too, but I've always been able to go one click backwards then when I try to view the page again, it miraculously appears  ???

Grrrr!

...teach me new languages.

Very random, I know, but  recently, results of searches have included descriptions in a different language (not always the same one either).
