For all of you out there who dislike the new format of FMP as much as I do, please may I suggest you join the Facebook group at "Can't Find My Past" who need support and numbers to approach FMP regarding making things right again.
Surely they know things aren't too good for us at the moment.... They read FB and their emails.... They've posted a message on FMP to this effect and asked for us to send in our specific searching problems so they can capture all aspects... Maybe our best interests are served doing just that rather than moaning... They've changed things with the best intentions after all.

If you are happy with what FMP are giving us for our money now, then no need to do anything, but if not, then "Can't Find My Past" is the place to air your grievances and they will take them to FMP on our behalf. In the meantime FMP are deleting all negative comments on their Facebook page, so are obviously feeling the heat.

<<snipped>> may I suggest you join the Facebook group at "Can't Find My Past" who need support and numbers to approach FMP regarding making things right again. <<snipped>> "Can'tFMP" are simply a group of people who are having a moan. The therapeutic nature of that is not to be dismissed, not least in persuading people that - it's not just me or you who have the problem. However, they have no traction with FMP. Far more useful is the work done by WhoDoYouThinkYouAre magazine - don't know if any other magazine has been doing similar. FMP also have a feedback site and while it's not ideal, it is, as far as I know, the best place to post SPECIFIC instances of failures and issues. Non-specific comments are unlikely to be understood by the IT team reading them. Purely negative comments are as likely to be successful as those imploring Ancestry to return to Old Search. Adrian B

The What's New page does not appear to have been updated since last week. The video is here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Z2iUZb6P2s It does not inspire a lot of confidence.
