Ancestry - edit box changes

[MWG]

It seems that Ancestry has reversed the edit box format change - all is now back to normal working conditions.

When I logged this as a fault yesterday, I made it clear that they would need to inform everyone who might have made one-sided changes so that they could check their tree and correct as needed.

I've checked the marriage I used for testing, and it is back to normal.

However, no sign of any email, or banner across the top so far. They are probably trying to pretend that this never happened.

The new edit box format is back again, but this time it is working.

It works, but I am experiencing a new issue. Now whenever I use a '&' in the description field, it displays as '&' when it saves. This is annoying because I use it a lot, particularly for church names like 'St Mary & All Saints' of which I have thousands of similar examples in my tree.

Yes I am getting the same as well, very slow response to any edits. Yet again I feel the "If it is not broken don't fix it" phrase should crop up again.

I don't like the new edit boxes - they are far too bulky now.

Now whenever I use a '&' in the description field, it displays as '&' when it saves.

I contacted Ancestry about this and this is the response:

"I understand your issue. Ancestry is experiencing an issue relating to this. Unfortunately we do not have a timeline for it being fixed, but we are hopeful it will be very soon."

When I'm typing any new notes, I'm putting 'and' instead of '&' for the time being.

To get the correct location make sure the country is at the end of the address at events during their lives.
