Have tried doing the CTRL bit but it doesn't work for me! Have my tree open, then with that same page on screen hold down CTRL key and select another tree that is viewable to me and nothing happens - what am I doing wrong? I use Mozilla Firefox

This is how I do it - works with both IE and Firefox browsers

1. Open your own tree by clicking on the button at the top. This opens a second window / tab.

2. Now the clever bit - Hold down the Ctrl Key and open your own tree again. The Ctrl key allows a third tab to open, rather than just over writing your existing tree in the second tab.

3. Open one of your trees and select the other members tree from the drop down list, top right.

Ok, I am trying to open my tree and then the tree of a match at the same time so that I can compare notes and add etc.
For some reason I cant' do it, I can open their tree, copy information to the clipboard, but then I have to open my tree seperately to add the info I collect. This is very time consuming and I was wondering if it was my computer or the way the site is set up.
I hope someone can understand what I am trying to do.
Thanks
Tracey
