The Northern Irish GRO records platform at https://geni.nidirect.gov.uk has had a slight redesign, and I have to admit, I'm not really sure what the point of it is.
The functionality is virtually identical, but you now have to scroll down the relevant search pages and reveal the search field items by clicking on a small arrow at the relevant sections. In the previous version, everything was laid out in one very easy to see display.
I can only assume GRONI has decided, like many Irish archives, that people no longer use home computers and have become perpetually intertwined with their mobile devices. For the record, I have not!
