<<snipped>> Why on earth didn't they release a Beta version? I really can't understand how they thought the site was acceptable. <<snipped>> They did release a Beta version to Beta testers. Firstly the basic platform is what FMP used for their worldwide (i.e. non-UK) collections. The Beta version was released to certain testers because I've seen posts that said "In the upcoming version..." The new screens were also demonstrated at WDYTYA Live and were allegedly well received. I would *guess* that the demo screens were only the detailed interrogation screens, which are *generally* more powerful than their predecessors. I would also *guess* that what was not well tested was the navigation between the detailed screens. It's also interesting to note that the infamous (and impractical) census-search-by-birthplace is sabotaged not by poor coding but by the original data, which is chaotic in the extreme. Interestingly one or two of the censuses worked quite well with the current code, when I tried them, suggesting that not all areas of all censuses are as chaotic as the 1881 (say). Adrian B
