I like the viewer, I’ve been using beta since the day the offers it. I also like the more stream line look of everything, there are a lot of things that get changed due to coding restrictions of the software running this site.
this is my first time responding in comments but a long long time user. I find very oftentimes that most (not all to be sure) are simple fixes with answer usually easily found in help and support threads. To be honest, most board moderators, blog writers and even peerembers around the net in every type of web site usually flame the heck out of people who don’t use search or read common questions articles. I think the staff and peer members here are show some amazing restraint at not responding to foolish statments and quetion only and not responding with the common response of “try reading the faq section dummy”. I’m not saying that the questions and comments in this thread are like that nor that cunstructive criticism is not important, I’m just saying every single statment can’t be responeded to everytime. mom always said if you can’t say something nice don’t say anything.

My guess is Stephanie et al are hard at work trying to figure out just how to fix this god-awful relocation of Favorites and Alerts without simply putting it back the way it was. She did, after all, promise us a roll out of a fix this month.

Haven’t used the site in some time, recently came back and I have to agree with Brady.
Things are generally much more time-consuming than in the past, although I do see some positive changes also like loads more information.

I’ll give them a C- on the test.

Having a senior public relations manager respond rather than the blog owner — who has yet to respond to any of the comments here — continues to make ACOM look more like the cororate machine it is becoming.

BTW, I am still waiting for someone on the Search staff to finish studying the 1900 census tract descriptions that they removed in April 2009 to see if they should be returned. How about it Tony or Anne?

HERE IS A GOOD TRST TO SEE IF ANYONE ON STAFF ACTUALLY READS THIS STUFF.

#24 is pure spam and was posted February 9, 2010 at 10:14 am.

Let’s see how long it stays here.

BTW Sam, your drop down menu for county doesn’t work, rendering the search inoperative.

Sam Re:# 24

One post in one Blog article would have sufficed- otherwise it looks like spam.

I agree with Bob (post No. 6). From what I can see, there are a lot of problems with content and indexing that need fixing. Ancestry’s main interest seems to be a lot of PR to churn membership, and generate revenue to boost its image for Wall Street.

Comments 8-11 were on target and very helpful to me. Also, Andy’s comment 15 was helpful, too. I come to this blog to hear about problems, as well as solutions. It’s too bad that the message boards are not more well known to us as members. I must admit that I will use them more often.
