Beth,
First, you and Earl are incredible. Sisters! Wow, that is a super scoop. I am excited to read the obituaries. This is way beyond what I thought was possible.
Jumping for joy!
As for the blue box… this is what I submitted to Ancestry’s suggestion box (I finally found it.)
To: Ancestry.com
I don’t particularly appreciate that a blue popup box now shows up on the screen’s right side when you click on a hint.
First, it causes the screen to make an unnecessary jump when it creates the box on the right site. This is distracting.
Second, the size of the box and the size of the type are both too small. Users with vision issues, like myself, find it difficult to use.
Third, the new process results in extra keystrokes, which is inconvenient.
Fourth, left-handed people find using the right side of the screen to be less than ideal. One’s natural head movement is a gradual left-to-right. This forces one into a back-and-forth head movement that is just as distracting as the screen jump that occurs when the box is drawn on the screen.
It was significantly easier to document HINTS when data was in the center and not moved to the right. The text was large and easy to read.
The new process is distracting, difficult to use, and inconveniently slow. Ouch!
Please rollback this unwelcome change to a product that was working better before the changes.
I really appreciate any help you can provide.
