Might be worth trying to login to Ancestry.com and accessing the UK collections that way.

Oh perhaps they'll change it back to how it used to be? Please?

And maybe they'll get rid of that irritating "Time to update your browser" message that blanks out the whole screen? I don't get that at home but I do get that at work (lunchtimes) and I can't update my browser at work or the IT department would be down my neck!!!

I do wish life were a bit simpler sometimes ...

I guess that's from 3:00 to 5:00 a.m. for me. No problem.
