Ancestry's New Interface

Post by MarkCDodd »

Some of the new "one click" features are good. I hated having to clinc on things and then get a dialog box to confirm.

The zoom featrues and the ability to drag the tree view is not bad.

One thing they have not fixed, and it irritates me greatly, is how it automatically assigns uploaded pictures as the "Primary Photo" to eveybody but the first person in the list.

i.e If I upload a census picture to 10 family members I can make it not he "Primary" for the first one but not the rest.

So for the other 9 family members I have to go in and deselect it as "Primary", otherwise they get it as their portrait.

I've used it a bit today, but not that much - got a bit annoyed as they've moved things around, so I kept clicking on the wrong thing. I'm sure I'll get used to that!!!

Logic merely enables one to be wrong with authority.
