Has the ThruLines had a bit of a revamp? It's now divided into sections for parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, etc. and I don't think it was before. But it still doesn't show markers for which people it's worth clicking on! And it doesn't work on my laptop now, or at least not on Firefox. I will have to try other browsers later.

Yes, that revamp came in a few days ago.
ThruLines are still working on firefox for me.

I'm not sure whether this comes under "Ancestry Labs" or not, but they seem to be changing the Compare page that you get when you click on the name of a DNA match from the list. I saw a different version, where it lets you change groups and it has several tabs instead of everything being on one page, but then the next time I clicked on one it was back to the old version.

Ancestry Lab is telling me there is something new but when I go into the menu there isn't.

Yes, it often does that to me on certain browsers, Maggie.

They have removed so many useful features. No lists of names or places any more, just a silly stunted tree and an inadequate map. Goodness knows where they get their gazeteer from, but they don't recognise half the parishes in Norfolk.
I'm sure this is fine for beginners looking for first cousins, but I think I've lost my chance to find distant cousins unless I disable the beta view. So cross that I've just renewed my subscription.

Do the feedback and let them know. Although that feature is also becoming rarer unfortunately.
There is also the new profile page which we can beta test. I'm not real sure on the difference as I don't have much information but I can't see if other trees might be DNA matches without the new profile anymore. I also wish they'd tell us if the person has done a DNA test rather than they are not a match or have not tested. Although I guess it doesn't matter as a spouse might do the tree rather than the blood relative.

There is a good reason for them not telling - imagine if your DNA test showed that your Dad wasn't your biological father, and then your paternal cousins etc could see that you had done a DNA test but you didn't match them! You might not want everyone to know.
