I've had problems with the whole site since they uploaded all the bmd images. I've never had any problems before. And getting one of those bmd images to display is tortuous. It takes anything up to 10 minutes, and often times out. I've gone back to the family relatives site for bmd records because I'm so fed up with the time it takes and the fact that the records are not very searchable. Angela

Zoe, Glad you put this thread on the board as I was beginning to think it was my old computer that was getting slower. Also found since the addition of the BMD's that if I switch to FreeBmd and then back to Ancestry I am logged out of Ancestry - which never happened before. Maureen

Waiting for the original images is horrendous, my eyes are killing me and nearly ate full box pringles with boredom

Just a thought - I know it shouldn't make any difference at all, but are those of you finding it slow on the 'free offer', or do you have a paid subscription to Ancestry? Mandy :)
