would like greater number of "recently visited". It is hard for me to switch back and forth among all my ancestors. I do it, but it is not as streamlined as other processes that we have.

    There are 48 names on my "Recents" list. How many do you want?

    There are 48 names on my "Recents" list. How many do you want?

    On the new Home Page, I have just 3 of my Recents. I had 5 on the old page. Note exactly a huge drop but I would suggest that the list should contain enough for a "normal" family then if I'm working on a group, I might have all the updated ones accessible. Then again, if I'm working on a family, I'm more likely to have a tab open with all the family on....

    @Adrian Bruce1 and @Miguel Lee Mitchell The long list of recents can be accessed next to your Following tab.

    I use my Following tab often, and the Label option for those I'm Following allows me to have a quick way to access a certain group within those I follow.

    And on the New Home Page @Áine Ní Donnghaile, I discover that it's a menu item off the front page.

    Or at least that's what it looks like this afternoon. Not sure how fixed everything is yet on that topic. That menu seems a little bit thin to be permanent, but it does have the benefit that it makes Recents a bit more obvious - providing that you're on the front screen, that is. (I read Menus, not splatterings of colour!)

    This might make the Recents a bit more findable.

    But if I'm not on the front page, it's **** difficult to find Recents - Following has its own menu item but not Recents - instead, as you point out, if you go to Following, Recents is next to it... Strange way of navigating...

    I did not say on the home page, @Adrian Bruce1. Your Following list.

    "I did not say on the home page ..."

    No indeed @Áine Ní Donnghaile - you successfully reminded me that's where it was, thanks.

    But I then found it on the New Home Page as well.
