Ancestry has switched me again

Why oh why does this happen? I am normally on Ancestry.co.uk and use it a lot. Suddenly tonight, on clicking on BMDs I only have access to 1837-1915. No 1916-2005 index there. I click on More or whatever it is, and I get transported to Ancestry.com which is asking me for a subscription. |

I use this link to access BMD's and rarely have any problems. |

I have no idea what you are all talking about. I am subscribed to Ancestry.co.uk. I have never been subscribed to anything else. I don't use any link to bmds. I go to the Ancestry site and on the right hand side I choose whatever BMDs I wish to view. |

You subscribe to Ancestry, the business, not to a particular Ancestry website, so, at least in theory, is doesn't matter which website you use. The only difference is in the layout of the pages - the .uk site being set out to better suit UK researchers. |

Walk away from your computer. |

Patricia, funnily enough, doing the obvious sometimes does sort things out. One of our IT support staff a couple of years ago, was convinced that a lot of problems could be solved by doing just that, switching off and starting up your PC from scratch so there could be a lot of truth in in what you say. |

I once saw a lovely cartoon - God up in the clouds looking down sadly at the Earth going crazy - and an angelic advisor saying "have you ever thought of switching it all off and starting again?" and I assumed it was related to computer advice even then! |

Yep, switching off and on again worked. |
