Dear all Has anyone else had the same problem as I have with Ancestrys fairly recent introduction of their "interactive images" Basically they are for two year olds that can't read what is on the page, you get a pop up box that comes out with the transcript on and obscures the writing on the image, which of course is what we want to see They are being beta'd on the 1911 and frankly they drive me up the wall I have sent feedback a few times to ask how I get rid of the interactive parts but had no reply So I looked further and found that there is a user definable part under options when viewing the interactive images You can turn off all or part of the new *aids* May be I am the only one who is aggravated by it <g> -- Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK)
Ancestry.com makes changes all the time that bother me too. For example they presume to know who or what my search is going to be and I find it difficult to get back to a clean slate. I haven't left any feedback but I'm sure that would help if enough people responded.

Thank you!!! Thank you!!! Thank you!!! I have been tearing my hair out over the 1940 U.S. census, and when I looked at the options, I found a place to go back to the old style census image - no messages popping up where I don't want them and old fashioned scroll bars. I am so grateful to you.
