Change back to old Family Tree "Find" interface/function

John Hoffman

Last week you totally changed the interface for the Family Tree "Find" function, making it much more laborious to search Family Tree. I use this function all the time, but not to find individuals, but to find the parents of individuals so I can add them to the list of children for those parents. In the old interface, the Find function came up with all the detailed find fields already visible. Now, they are collapsed and I have to click several more clicks to enter the father's name, sex, and the mother's (spouse's) name. Please change the interface back to the old one--the "new and improved" interface is much worse!

Inherently, the old Find interface comes up when you use the Family Tree "Find" function just after logging on, but then it switches to the new interface on future Finds. If anything, it should be just the opposite--the new interface (with all the detailed fields collapsed) for the first time a user uses the Find function (because the new screen explains it all for the beginner) and then the old Find interface should come up thereafter.

I totally agree, PLEASE, change it back. You have added so much work in finding a person. Or at least give us the choice which one we want to use, the new or the old.
