I fear the worst! Having had a look at the description I agree with a lot of the blog comments - I don't want the site to be 'delightful' I want it to be functional. Oh well, that's progress for you.

I hope it won't be as big a disaster as the new site of one of their major competitors has been.
I want functionality and not to be full of their supposed links that are irrelevant and wrong and if I state England I don't want a screen full of US records. Has anyone found away of getting rid of that annoying DNA pop up?
I am sceptical of these historical timelines. I wonder which country we will get a timeline for and will it be correct?

I've no doubt it won't be!
The DNA pop up hasn't been too frequent lately, but more often when I download an image I get a pop up that wants me to start a tree, the choice of "Don't show again" is obviously ignored as it continues to happen.
Ancestry support don't care as they just want me to use different browsers. It doesn't matter to them that it wasn't an individual occurrence as it has happened on two different computers.
There's also a box describing one of the entries that seems to appear "accidentally", presumably mouse movement has triggered it, but it doesn't go away, others have also commented on the same thing happening.
Fully agree that functionality should be a priority before any other titivating.
