Ancestry broken again!
Everytime they add a new feature they break something.
Today they introduced a "View Relationship to Me" button.
Now, whenever you try and save a record to an exiting person, it will only allow you to save it to a new personin a new tree.
Idiots!

I have no idea why I can't save it on vista think there is a problem
but I can't fathom that help bit on ancestry.

A person should have an opinion on everything, It becomes tact whether you reveal that opinion or not.

Re: Ancestry broken again!
I did save it, but by "printing" to pdf or microsofts image writer. I used to be able to right click and save the image, but they've buggered that up too!

Re: Ancestry broken again!
Don't know if this works on all pc's. On ours if you select print and instead of your printer (there should be a drop down menu) select microsofts image writer and "print" as normal - it'll ask you where you want to save the image to. Image writer was standard on our pc, so you probably have it.
For PDF's I think you need a special program.
Hope this helps

Vista is different
I cant see what I read before yet...Im sure it was something you had to change options on
