You may have noticed that when you click on a thread it now shows the latest post first (Ass Upards) whereas it used to show the oldest post first.

If you prefer to view things the way they were click "Post Date" and the thread will revert to the more usual chronological order with the oldest post first and subsequent posts below.

Researching:
Don't put off until tomorrow doing what you can do today. If you like doing it today you can do it again tomorrow. Be kind to your children for it is they who will decide which care home you end up in.

I thought I was having serial senior moments! It wasn't like this yesterday. It almost as annoying as the TTF board going to a Surname board instead of the whole board!

LOL! I just logged in and read a couple of threads I'd contributed to yesterday. It looks like we're a group of psychics-answering questions before they're even asked!

Edit: I'm blaming this new glitch on Chris! (big grin)

Oh! Thank goodness for this thread. I just got up (I'm in Canada), haven't had my first cup of coffee yet, thought my brain wasn't in gear.
I almost added to a thread asking how everyone knew what so-and-so was going to post before she posted it.
Phew! I'm OK, I'm sane.

Glitch????

Hope you all don't mind me butting in on this thread.

I got an email from GR to say that ..... had allowed me to view their tree.

I checked my messages on GR, none, and the member named wasn't in my contact list and I do not ask members if I can view their tree.

When I checked the threads I had added to yesterday I found the member who had allowed me to view their tree. I have sent them a message advising them and also contacted GR incase there is a glitch where if you update a thread, you share your tree with others who are also replying.

Has anyone else come across this
