Genealogy Chat

I emailed them a couple of days ago to ask if the old version of the site was still accessible (as it had been for me up till then through my "favourites" but not any more). Told them I didn't like the new site and probably wouldn't renew later this year as things stood.

I also got a two month extension to my subscription but still don't know whether or not I'll renew. The site is so much more complicated to use and oh so slow!!

Yes....I'm over 50 and no... I don't like change - especially when it isn't for the better.

Yes, I saw that too nameslessone - the cheek of it.

I rang FMP the other day to complain, got a two month extension to my sub.

There are huge numbers of complaints all over the web - but it seems to be very few on here. FMP's own Feedback Forum ( under help) makes fascinating reading - especially as FMP don't seem to be answering the complaints on there.

Some changes are being made but too quietly for most people to notice. If you have an issue, as well as posting it on facebook or any of the myriad forums, email direct to FMP - you may get a reply.

One comment I did take issue with was a suggestion that the over fifties couldn't adjust to changes. My reaction -- unprintable. :-P

Lots of comments about it in this thread.

Thanks Maddie and M C for replying. I have looked at and added to their face book page. My sub was due for renewal and after a bit of thought decided to upgrade. I've found more on the newspaper section than I did on the old one but it says loading and loading and loading and loading ........eventually the page appears :-(

You might find the comments on their FB page interesting!

it is awful, in more ways than one :-(

Has anyone else found the new FMP to be incredibly slow, particularly in the newspaper section? I've just upgraded to the 'World' subscription and it has all slowed down when searching.
