New Landing Page for New.FamilySearch.org

In an announcement dated 20 November 2013, FamilySearch notified users that the link to New.FamilySearch.org will be modified to include the above notice as part of the landing page. What this means in English is that when you go to New.FamilySearch.org, instead of going directly to the program, you will see the above screen. This is already in effect. Here is the explanation of what is happening from the blog post:

Recently, we have announced that new.familysearch.org will become a read-only website by next month. Once this change takes place, each time you log onto new.familysearch.org you will be guided to a new landing page. From here, you can either proceed to new.familysearch.org or you can go to Family Tree.

One small step for a man and sort-of small step for mankind.
