Caz, If you go to Family Tree and then click on 'Back to Old Tree', you 'should' be able to find trees you have access to. Love Anne in North London xx |

Caz, I am no computer buff, believe me....but as you mention Flash Macromedia, I am assuming you do not have it installed on your computer - and maybe that is why you can't view trees? If that is the case then you can download it from the Macromedia site:- http://www.adobe*com/shockwave/download/download*cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash Like I have said, I am no pooter buff, so this is just an idea!

It isn't computer help you need! I thought the new Tree would be better because it shows you more people on one page - when you can get there. First I had trouble loading the viewer. Finally got than sorted. Then I found that if a contact had more than a couple of hundred names in their tree it took forever and a day to load the info. Especially my own as I have over 3000. I agree with all the other people who have complained ... the old tree was bad enough but the new one is a disaster. It really is time that GR found a techie that could set up a much less frustrating site than this has become. Thank goodness I am not one of those people who builds a tree on here thinking that they are going to be able to negociate it and be able to use it. I have had FTW since it first came out and have uploaded files to several other sites without any problems. I have several mistakes that show on here but not on my own computer nor on other sites. I cannot even find the place where one could view another tree as before. The Old Tree was frustrating enough when it came up with 'errors' ! Shared trees simply takes you to your contact list with dozens of pages to trawl through... and I always thought I was very computer literate. |
