Is anyone else having problems with Ancestry being generally glitchy? As well as the "bad gateway" message which has been mentioned elsewehere and which comes up regularly, it's also giving me error messages when I try to save records to my tree. I have to refresh the page before it will save them.

Also when I click on "Find in Tree" and then on "Last viewed" to go back to the last person I was working on, I get an error message saying "that page no longer exists".

Is it just me?

Me too, for the last few days, so annoying :(

Yes, I keep having problems with Ancestry recently ☹️
Usually of the ‘this page no longer exists’ variety…

Also, I haven’t had any new DNA matches for ages now, - very unusual!

Thanks for the replies. Perhaps the tech people at Ancestry are tinkering away behind the scenes again, making more "improvements" (ha ha). Ancestry was such a good site back when it started but the more they fiddle with it, the worse it gets.

Romilly - I've had a trickle of new DNA matches over the last few months but none in the last few days.

I’ve had none at all this week. Very unusual. Perhaps they’re saving them up for some (unknown) reason?

and I have just spent a very frustrating hour paging through the images in a directory, on every page I got a pop up telling me they are sorry I am having trouble viewing the image and suggest I switch to the basic viewer
- frustrating as the only thing that was giving me trouble was this blooming pop up which blocked the page and I had to close it each time only for it to re-appear on the next page.

If anyone wants some rude words, sorry, but  I can't help as I've used up my entire stock!

I get Bad Gateway too, also they keep saying the login is wrong, I've always had the same one so I just keep clicking until it lets me in!

Yes ancestry has been very flaky over the past few days. We're all in this together.
