Even if you do have DD/MM/YYYY it doesn't seem to show on the life line :-0

You ought to be able to get back to the old tree. Hover your curser over the 'Family Tree' button at the top of the page.

On mine, there are 3 options
My Tree
Try the new Tree
Import GEDCOM

Click on 'My Tree' and you ought to get the old style.

how did you get back to the old style tree? I'm having real trouble with marriage records appearing hen disappearing on the info from the right. Then the Life Line says a marriage can't be recognised unless it is in DD/MM/YYYY format. How many of us have that info??

Apparently there are a few niggles with the new tree that did not come out in testing but it will get implemented when these are fixed and the 'old style tree' will be banished forever.

Back in 2009 when the the 'old style tree' was introduced there were members then who didn't like it and wanted the previous one back....!

No doubt it will be the same in 2015, or whenever the next time it is updated.

Nothing changes.

Thankyou I only keep the bare minimum too but still like the old style better I suppose when you have limited brain cells like me you get used to one format ;-)

Its already been put back to the old style for the moment.

If they want to change the format to get better results then they will I,m afraid .

Lots of people have asked for changes ie to get intermarriages in the right format etc and for illegitimate children's info to be input , that they are trying to accommodate requests.

Personally I kept the bare minimum tree on Genes and use FTM which can accommodate cousins etc marrying.
