When I look at my hotmatches their is a box that is ticked saying allow this person to see your tree, does this mean they can already view my tree without my permission?

Apparently so, there are earlier posts with similar concerns. It's a bit of a worry. I also found it interesting how an Olive Varcoe born 1886 in Cornwall turned up as one of my hotmatches for William Cox born in Stratford 1872. I'm sure he'd have been thrilled to have found a possible date.

Every time I unclick the box & then go back to it it's ticked again, I'm getting fed up on here, any idea's I can't have anyone that Gene's think's is a hotmatch viewing mt tree, cheek isn't it?

No, they can't already view your tree., but if you send them a message with the box ticked, then they will be able to.

It has been like this for a little while now.

If you want to check who can and can't see your tree at any time, go to Messages, Contacts.

The fault that Lindy mentioned has been reported and is being worked on. If you still have a problem in a few days then send the details to GR.
