The layout of the webpages is extremely poor with large data entry and data display boxes with only small font text inside them. This has caused a huge uproar from many of its users and a great loss of trust in the company.
The fundamental mistake that FMP made was not running the new site in parallel with the old site whilst they ironed out the problems. If you really want to access their data, try a pay as you go first to see whether you can live with what has been done to a formerly-great resource.įindmypast (FMP) recently changed their website from one that was very intuitive, and easy to use and read, to one that is approaching unusable. I would recommend anyone else not to subscribe either. I won't subscribe again until I read on the Internet that things are working well again, which I think will be quite a long time. All you read about Findmypast on the Internet now is people complaining that the site has been trashed and isn't working properly. I am no longer a subscriber, I got a refund. They obviously didn't check the use their customers were making of the data, so have rolled out something that many experienced genealogists wouldn't want ("lucky dip" searches), didn't test it properly and are now expecting subscribers to help them fix up the mess.
What's new is that it fails to find things, even things found before.
Findmypast rolled out a new search problem that searches "in a whole new way". I subscribed to Findmypast for years and would have said it was the best genealogical resource on the Internet.
