Ancestry DNA access not working
« on: Monday 19 November 18 07:50 GMT (UK) »
Trying to access my DNA results on Ancestry after someone asked me to checkout a match and I cannot access them.  All I am getting is an advertisement to try DNA testing! I am a regular user of these results, not a newbie. I manage multiple results.
Even looking at profile pages, I am just getting another ad.

I'm in now, but this same issue was very annoying earlier this evening.

Thanks for reply. Found it quite odd. Glad it wasn’t just me.

Technical glitch. Wonder if anyone contacted them, or figured out for themselves? I find that when I use my tablet that I keep on hitting the DNA discount banner instead of the results. They are determined to get me to get even more of my family to test! ;D

I googled it and one suggestion was to sign out, then in again, or use a different browser - neither of these suggestions worked.

I, too keep ordering another kit in error. Frequently have to empty my basket!
