I've found several threads on Reddit about the chromosome browser having disappeared, one poster yesterday saying they were actually using it when it went.

There are suggestions that it may be related to the 23andMe data breach, which that company apparently say was enabled via their DNA Relatives feature, which allowed the threat actor to access other users accounts via their DNA comparison tools.

So it may be that MH have removed it as a precaution whilst they carry out an assessment of their own systems and/or make necessary changes. Lets hope it hasn't just gone for good.

Thanks for that link, Phil.   It's very worrying. I hope it's not the same as 23&me who were not very clear about the problem when we had e-mails the other week.

Well this is a new one   with the glitch I've just  had  tonight
I've  just clicked on my DNA matches  tonight  and this is what I  got.
I clicked on my matches again   , and no problem at all
The  website  is having major  difficulties.
This is occurring  as I speak. ( Australia)

Kind regards
My screen shot  the  family  tree  link is In red ( I clicked. on my dna  matches) ,even   if   I mistakely  clicked on family tree -  which I am 100% sure I didn't  click - The message. doesn't make any sense at all being  here in Aus , and even  saying  I am not member.
