What's infuriating for me is that there are bits of the site that needs fixed and they ignore it for cosmetic tinkering
Exactly!

I've had a look at quite a few 'hints'...they're already added to my tree to the persons they've hinted to ???

I don't have time to be going over old rope, I'm adding 1000s to this tree bit by bit.

Not only that, some hints have no likeness to dates of births/marriages/deaths/places of those in my tree already filled in! ::)

Newcastle-on-Tyne/Durham (Northumberland):- Harrison, Jude, Kemp, Lunn, Mellon, Robson, Stirling

Kettering, Northampton:- MacKinnon

Canada:- Callaghan, Cumming, MacPhee

Think this is because that although the detail in the hint appears the same as info you aready have, it has come from a different ancestry source.

For example all the new county records that they keep adding will often duplicate data already in one of their 'England ...' sources and which you may already have added.  Its more often a new source than new data.

I've just managed to turn the red off by looking at some trees that are not active!  The 'travel bureau'   Extra  remains red.
Don't like red at all - red to me means 'error' :-\.

Does anyone know how to get rid of the red in the Extras tab? I'm not at all interested in their holiday ancestral tours, etc. I've arranged my own in the past, and will continue to do so, myself. This particular aspect is a really annoying intrusion  :(

I've given up on them. I keep my master tree in FTM and I only kept a sync on ancestry to keep an eye on new sources of data. It's got too messy to bother with. When my sub runs out later this year I'll not be renewing.

Going on their facebook page is more likely to get a response than support, I've had luck with that (same applies for a lot of companies, or trustpilot pages).

That's another bugbear - why should I join Facebook to get a response.  I decided not to join FB when it started and I still feel the same about it.

I’m another one who has no wish to join Facebook, Twitter or any other such site, it infuriates me when we are expected to contact companies through them.
