Yes, it's driving me mad too. Also suddenly the trees on mine are now showing all family events - birth of brother John, birth of sister Mary etc etc despite unticking the 'show family events' - it does it's little whirly bit for about 1/2 minute and then the ticked box returns and they're still all there. GRRRRRR!
Did I read somewhere there was a free weekend on Ancestry over the Bank Holiday? If so I suspect that's what is causing it rather than adding new records Val. :(
According to the Ancestry FB page, the issues will continue until this Thursday. They also had had an outage during the day which was fixed quite quickly I gather. I often had to press reload but usually only once.
This was in response to a question about hints appearing when they'd been switched off, probably answers the question about things coming and going:
Ancestry We are in the process of making planned system enhancements and infrastructure upgrades which, once complete, will improve site performance and enable more records, more hints, and more connections, making the platform even more valuable for our community.
The issues you are experiencing are directly related to the complexity of the infrastructure upgrades and they will end after the transition is finished. Please know that your data is safe with us. All the work you have done on your trees will be preserved even if you are experiencing some difficulties as the result of this upgrade.
We expect the transition to be completed by Thursday, May 31, 2018, and we will let you know if this date changes. Thank you very much for bearing with us during this period. Everyone on the Ancestry team really appreciates it.
