And a new problem I've just discovered - records from "England and Wales National Probate Calendar 1858-1995" aren't coming up in search results.
They now come up under the 'deaths' category (in Births, Marriages, Deaths), not in the wills. I wasn't sure whether that was a change or not. I can see why they might have moved it, since all post 1858 wills list an exact date of death. And I suppose they are not wills per se but a wills calendar. But if you are looking to see if someone post 1858 left a will or administration and you search in the wills category, it won't find anything which I suppose is stupid. Can they not put things in more than one category.

Me too.  I have to enter things a few times and refresh the page to stop everything from jumping around and searching for text you just deleted.  Annoying.

Glad it's not just me :o. It's very annoying to think many people may not notice, and they are doing searches with zero results thinking there's nothing there  :(.

Hi   Yes me too:

Over the last week I have had issues just getting the site to work . Especially in the messages section.  It is causing the whole computer to lockup. So after an inordinate amount of time and no response  I have to kill the computer at the box and wait for a bit an reboot.  It's been awfully annoying.

I'm used to getting the occasional error messages (page not loading, can't display this hint etc) but for the last three or four days I would say these have become much, much more frequent.

Has anyone else developed a problem with viewing the trees on Ancestry? Everytime I click on a profile and then go back to the main tree, the last person viewed now becomes the temporary default profile on the main tree. It's very annoying.

Yes - that has just started for me recently.

I had problems yesterday loading children to a tree -
Father entered as a male with surname Smith
Mother entered as a female surname Jones
- when I added a child to this marriage it gave them the mothers surname Jones
