Ian,
During the test process, we had numbers of freezes in Legacy 9 of
course. That's expected during development.
But we haven't seen many lately.
I haven't seen any for some time when working normally - only when
testing things known to crash Legacy many of which most users will never
encounter.
So if you can work out a pattern, do report it.
I wonder if you are minimising the Hints Results window and not seeing
it near or under your Taskbar?
Check the box on the Hints Results window so that it closes when you
follow a Hint to the website OR click (lower right icon) to create a
Floating Window so it stays open but you can work in Legacy with it
open. This is the best option if you are getting Hints from more than
one site. Closing is the best option if you just have one Hint site
checked unless it's FamilySearch.

Cathy – I have been doing much the same: independently using
FindMyPast with only a free membership; and so the Legacy hints to FMP
are useful. And yes, I do see the Billion Graves in the FMP hints.
The Hints gathering may be a problem: I had a couple of Legacy freezes
today which needed killing with Task Manager – not something I like to
do, of course, with data attached. In Task Manager I saw a large
number of child processes for my browser and that may have
contributed. It may be necessary to close instances that Legacy spawns
- I will keep a check, and reserve judgement.

Ian,
I get BillionGrave hints in the FindMyPast hints - for South
Australians where I've been doing most of my research lately.
The FMP hints have been saving me time giving me things from databases
that I would have otherwise searched for myself.

I'm happy with v9 - no complaints.
I like the Hints - a nice feature is the refresh. It would be nice
if Billion Graves was included amongst the resources for Hints -
Find a Grave isn't something that I use.

< BR> Hi David,
I've only been using v9 for a couple of days. There doesn't seem
to be a significant change in v9 other than the advertized items -
which I am beginning to like. However I have noticed there are
also some bugs in V8 that are now fixed in v9. It also seems to
load quicker but that is speculative as mine open very quickly
anyway. I'm thinking they may have streamlined some of the code.
Thankfully they haven't changed the 'look and feel' of Legacy.
Mine upgraded with 99% of the old settings.
I'm pleased with the upgrade.
Bob
