Ancestry.com problems viewing records?

Question

I haven't been able to view any original images (census, draft registration cards) on ancestry.com today. The space where they should load is just a blank page. No error messages of any kind. Is anyone else having this problem or is it something with my computer that's causing it? I look at these type records almost every day and have never had this problem before.

Answer 1

I was having that problem last night. I had to keep hitting the 'refresh' button. I think it's probably having really heavy volumes because of the holidays. It happens a lot at Easter and Christmas, too. There's a lot of bandwidth used by those images and it's probably killing the system.
