I quite like the new way of looking at hints, as it's better than having to flick back and forth between tabs.
The problem for me is the system underpinning what hints it offers you. That's what really needs the work.
For example, it frustrates me that it seems to be prioritising American records in the hints over British ones. I can understand why it would do that potentially with new people, but when you are getting hints for an ancestor you've recorded as being born, living and dying in the UK, it's a little annoying to keep getting suggestions that they took a road trip to Texas.
The other thing that irritates me is getting records that are really not appropriate for the age of the person. For example, you have already recorded that your ancestor was born around 1802. So you end up with a load of hints for property in 1803, because someone with the same name had property. My 1 year old ancestor is not going to be paying tax in 1803.
I would also like to be able to have more control about the degree of kinship that I get hints for. I do want to see new hints for closer relatives, but I'm not massively keen to get them for 4th cousins 5 times removed. At the moment, I think your only choice is hints on or and hints off.
I think the whole system needs an overhaul before they add new features really.
