When I visit the "existing" download page (http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/scan-source2.shtml) I'm first required to select Birth, Marriage or Death and when I do this I get a nice table with a cute green border and the years down one side, Quarter etc and a single link (Usually "All Pages"), I click that and I either get a list of all the scans (pages) available or a superset showing "A-G, H-I" etc. > >With the new link (http://images.freebmd.org.uk/GUS/) I get a crude list of all the years, I click one of those and I get another set of crude links ("Parent Directory", Births", "Deaths"), I click one of those and I get another crude list of Quarters, I click one of these and I get "Parent Directory", "UKD-01", I click that and I get "Parent Directory", "A-H", "I-S" etc, I click that and I finally get to the list of pages. That's five clicks I've had to do when I previously did two, there's no neat table, and I can see almost no resemblance to the current procedure. I'm also mystified. Everything seems to be changed and yet you say nothing has. Where am I going wrong? The existing download page is quite simply a front end for the /GUS structure, and that front end will still exist under the new system. -- Dave Mayall
