a "refresh" which adds zero new functionality to the site.
To me the important thing is not to remove anything useful, which is generally the biggest bugbear with 'improved' web sites.

Once upon a time, for example, in an earlier incarnation of the SP index, you just clicked once to move from one census to the next or previous one. For some time now, you have had to re-type the age range when moving from one census to another.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

Just tried to view (and download) a marriage record from 1907- the only option being given was to order the full certificate  :-X

Have you looked again?
The 1907 marriage selection I’ve just checked all have a View for 6 credits option.

Hi, I have just had the same thing, even with 1880’s records. I went in to refine search, changed the name, that worked, so went back to the original name and it preformed as expected. Gremlins.

Just in case anyone else has this issue, and it has been duplicated by SP.

Virtual volumes just shows the watermark, not the expected page. Hit refresh, several times as necessary. It seems to work eventually!

Unfortunately this record appears to have slipped the net and is still unavailable - I have found a couple of 1901 births which give the same result. I have emailed SP and await a response.

Is it just me, or is there no 'log out' button?

Click on your initials in the top right corner of the page, next to credits, and there should be a drop down menu with " My account , " Buy credits" and "Log out".
