Ancestry seems to have problems with IE8.

Hi Andy, Yes that was one of my concerns too, thanks for your input. Another lister gave me a link to download a small program from Microsoft which prevents IE8 from automatically downloading which I am now using. I can opt to manually download it in the future if need be, but for now I would rather stay with IE7.
