Default Family tree to myself, not the latest person I viewed.

It is frustrating to open Tree and see the last person I viewed instead of myself as the focus person. Please change it.

    The simple solution, that has been suggested by other users, is to simply click on the "Home" icon towards the top of the screen (to the right of the word "Landscape"), which will immediately change the focus person to yourself.

    Many users (like me) are perfectly happy with the change, as they rarely start off their Family Tree activity from their own profile (useless for me, as I am not connected to anybody else in the tree!) and prefer to be taken back to where they left off before they last signed out.

    Good to know, Paul. At least now I can get where I want.

    This has been driving me crazy too. It was already possible to go back to where you left off by clicking on "Recent People," so I feel like the change was totally unnecessary.

    Yes, many other users completely agree with you.
