Hi
Is any one else having the same problem as myself.
When i first log onto ancestry everything is fine, then with in half an hour it then slows down to a snails pace.
This is becoming very annoying as i want to spend a lot of time on there because i am trying to do my brother in laws family tree for his mother.

I am getting various problems with Ancestry.

"S"

me too, anyone starting with the surname Mc, they seem to be putting gaps in??

I have had this problem for about a week, which i find ironic as 4 weeks ago i up graded my membership to worldwide.
Beginning to regret that.

Megs i wish that was my only problem, as it is currently taking about a minute for every page to load.
Sorry for your problem though.

Yes its VERY slow I have been doing marriage/births/deaths 1930-40s and its taken me an age cos its so slow.

I agree, its been painfully slow for much longer. Its not my pc because I've checked it thoroughly.

Not only slow, but also persistently coming up with 'No records' when I click on 'next page'!!

hi all
I emailed ancestry about these problems about a week ago -
they are sorry for any inconvinience and are aware that there are problems!
They said when it shows 'no records' keep clicking the search button - it should work after a while

Christine

very slow at the moment its worse during the day obviously their servers can't cope with amount of people using it, i also get no records found one was for a smith!!!

Thanks for the replys.
The one thing i don,t understand that it,s ok when i first log on.
Lets hope the problems get sorted soon.

Yup - it has got sluggish lately and with some niggling problems as mentioned. I always maintain it's the damn annoying flash adverts that slow things down so much. Maybe Ancestry and other sites are paid to slow things down so that people will look at the adverts out of boredom if nothing else. lol

Oh Mick -

simple language please!!

what is IE7 ?????

where can I get one???

do I need a degree to add it on???

bearing in mind - I'm a granny - and not too clever with anything more complicated than a hairdryer!

Many thanks - computer genius!

Stop with the clever stuff- i stopped smoking after 40 years (GASP) today so only can respond to very simple. LOL

Well done Susan! Keep it up!

Am off to check out the IEpro thingie.

Sue

mick in the sticks-Thank you for the advice, Ancestry is now running a lot quicker.

Why not use IE8, or better still, Firefox with Adbock plus?

Works for me.

Does anyone have trouble with Firefox sort of freezing? Only ask because it seems to go through phases with me where it'll work and then, for no obvious reason, any hyperlinks stop responding when I click them and/or the "normal" webpage doesn't come up but instead I see a sort of Word document type of screen with no graphics and just plain text.

I don't know if it's just my Mac, though. It's not old and I always thought Firefox was supposed to be recommended with Macs.
