    What happened to the old Search screen? The new one is cumbersome, difficult to navigate and just terrible. Please return to the old screen. I'm 89 years old and don't have time to waste. RWB

    The view screen is now stripped of data that used to be there at a glance, like the registration jurisdiction and dates in the UK for vital record registrations--they're all blank! And the jurisdiction for the 1939 UK Register. It's a lot more work to open each record for basic info that used to be displayed.

    Hi B F Randall, unfortunately by default you get Minimal information. Please go to the Preferences section (you can see it in your 2nd image above) then select Default information or All information. You can also change whether you get the info in a block or in columns. I think you will find what you want by setting these options.
