Default Is ancestry acting weird for everyone?

I keep finding when I try to search any individual database that it will only let me browse, not search. Is it doing the same for everyone or just me?

It was the same for me but only for parts of the site.

For example the 1851 gave me the search boxes but not the 1871.

This is using the old search as I do not like the 'new' search facility.

Just tried again and it seems to be OK....Hopefully it will stay that way!

I can't access the pedigree chart it starts reloading and constant egg timer.

Edit: Solved by downloading Firefox 18.0.2

Doing this to me right now, it is such a pain! Luckily FMP seems to be working.

I am now getting this constantly. I have cleared cache and cookies so many times it works for a bit and then problem loading page starts again.

I have now resorted to IE which I hate I use Firefox I prefer it to all the browsers my next choice would be Safari.
