Paul - I'm not defending them however you did appear to rush in as a self appointed new broom to a site that has run unmodified for well over a decade (it is probably one of the longest surviving genealogy MB's) - change for change's sake is seldom wanted when a site is a frequently visited tool though this is not to say that a few tweaks wouldn't be amiss. You did say in an earlier message that you were new to genealogy - many on this board have been doing it for two or more decades - no doubt anything you do will be criticised by some, it is the way of the world - my MNB has been many times - just do your own thing then indicate to others how the new is so much more convenient.
