I have IE, and the tree has quickened up a lot in recent weeks. However, it's not so much which action is slow; it's that the whole process has slowed, because it's all so much more (and unnecessarily) long-winded. For example, I want to check the details I have on a particular individual. I click on that person, and the process is (1) mini 'grid' appears beneath that person (2) bars come up, denoting downloading relationships and position, so hiding that part of the tree (3) the individual re-appears, THEN I can access the details. We didn't have this before - we found the person, and there were ALL of their details, instantly! What's even more annoying, we only get to see a minute portion of those details at a time, the view of that part of the tree is obliterated unless we hide the details, AND the family links, other than the immediate ones, disappear! We aren't now able to quickly scroll from tree to an individual's details and back again. Trying to look at the whole family tree, moving the tree is jerky, and lines/links keep disappearing. I'm sorry, but it's rubbish now, compared to the previous tree. I'd actually go as far as to say it's not fit for purpose, which is why I'm moving all of mine to another site. |

Hi everyone, for those of you who are having problems with the speed of the tree, it would really help us if we had more detail. What I'd like to know is which part exactly is slow? Is it adding a relation, is it saving a name? Is it moving from one name to another? I'd also like to know what operating system and browser you are using. We need to try and establish a pattern. Maybe it only affects users with a certain browser, or it might always happen on the same part of the tree. |

I agree-I was reluctant to change from using IE8 which works alright on other sites,but after trying Google Chrome and Firefox I have to admit this site works better with them I still have IE as my default |

and the other browsers, such as Firefox or Chrome, are free ........ so it doesn't cost you anything. |

David, there is no reason why you cannot download other browsers and use them when you need to. You can still keep IE8 as your default. |

re "22 Sep 2012 Newspaper Archive - Screen Control U/S ? (I know this thread is for Tree suggestions) The movement control for an article I've just accessed is incompletely formed (Top RH side of viewer), making it impossible to zoom in/out. Refreshing the screen makes no difference (WinXP & IE8). I've submitted a support request, but it's yet another GR functionality problem .. and not helped by an inability to accept attachments via e-mail, such as screen shots." |

Have to say I don't like the new tree layout at all and would much rather have the option back to use the old tree. |

Just gone to the "Tree Update Blog", Peter. All the recent posts are blank. I wonder why that would be :-S :-S |

There are a couple of interesting posts on the "Tree Update Blog", which may be of interesst to those of us who don't like the New Tree, and would prefer to see the old one re-instated, which seems to be getting more and more unlikely. |
