Why has the HTML code for my homepage had two logos added to the top of the page, one saying "hosted by rootsweb" and the other "an ancestry.com community"? I never received any notice this would happen. It's done automatically when I upload a new version of the page, it comes out with these logos on it and they are not in the source code that I am uploading. I've maintained http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~aherns/ since 1998 and I have always had a "Hosted by Rootsweb" graphic at the bottom of the home page. Now every one of my pages has this Ancestry.com advertising on it at the top of the page. I give a lot of thought to the design of my pages and I do NOT like them being altered without notice. What gives? -dja

Actually it is only a single masthead. Name-branding is what it is. Just like Tripod, Earthlink, Geocities, etc. This was announced long time ago. You don't have to add any code for them. The only thing they asked you to remove is the links you built in your pages so you don't have to do it anymore. Be glad they didn't add the footer! They added this in Freepages.

They sent out a message last week saying this was going to happen.
