Hi Mike, It is all Ancestry, not .com or .uk or au etc. It is not the home page, but if you go back to my message it says the Overview Page which is the page you go to if you want to add something. If for instance you have a new photo of yourself and want to add it to your tree, you open up your own individual page to work on. That is the page they have changed. It still has the same function, it is just that it is plain, boring and totally uninspiring now, in my opinion. I always took great delight in seeing my pages on individuals growing and looking like a whole lifetime of history, but now, with bigger writing, you have to scroll down to see it all. I simply do not like it!

Hi Diana, Mine has changed too.  Yesterday I was searching and I found some photos on other people's trees of a couple of my ancesters, I then went to another page and wham it was in this new boring colourless state.  At first I thought it was something I'd done wrong or a problem with my computer, because a few seconds before I had the colour and the old format. I am in Australia, but I mainly use .uk or .com as I am the youngest in my family and the first person born in Australia.  All the others in my generation and above were born in England, except for the lines that emmigrated to the US or Canada. I don't like it either, I hate it, like you say colourless, and way too big print. I suppose some may like the big print if their up-close eye-sight has failed, but most people in that situation will be wearing their glasses when on the computer anyway, so I think it's unneceassary to have made the font so much bigger. At the moment it's just on the overview or profile page, but maybe they aren't stopping there, and maybe by tomorrow it will end up on the search pages and others.  I hope not. The profile or overview page in my opinion is the worst page they could have used to do this with anyway, because you want to see photos and documents that you and others have uploaded at their best. This is going to take all the enjoyment of using ancestry out for me. :'(   Helen ----- Original Message ----- From: thalauafu <dmlfamilyhistory@gmail.com> To: mjflists@yahoo.co.uk; staffordshire@rootsweb.com Cc: Sent: Friday, 19 October 2012 4:10 AM Subject: Re: [STAFFORDSHIRE] Ancestry's new look Hi Mike, It is all Ancestry, not .com or .uk  or au etc. It is not the home page, but if you go back to my message it says the Overview Page which is the page you go to if you want to add something.  If for instance you have a new photo of yourself and want to add it to your tree, you open up your own individual page to work on.  That is the page they have changed.  It still has the same function, it is just that it is plain, boring and totally uninspiring now, in my opinion.  I always took great delight in seeing my pages on individuals growing and looking like a whole lifetime of history, but now, with bigger writing, you have to scroll down to see it all.  I simply do not like it!  Cheers, Diana On 19 October 2012 03:09, Mike in Droitwich <mjflists@yahoo.co.uk> wrote: > Hi > > Is that on .com or .co.uk ,the "new search" or the much preferred "old > search" > > Mine has not changed on my customised home page on .co.uk, old search > with adblock & flashblock  operative (i.e. no adds or images on the home > page, moving ads,avatars etc. make me feel travel sick) > > Mike Fisher in Droitwich > my family tree http://mjfisher.tribalpages.com/ > > ****************************** > ATTENTION TO ALL:- When replying please remove the details that do not > apply to your mail and change the SUBJECT LINE for best useage of ARCHIVED > MATERIALS. > ****************************** > PLEASE keep your Anti-Virus and Anti-Malware software up to date.
