There has been a firestorm in many forums about this as it is nothing more than blatant advertising. When you click on the "Hint" you are taken to a page that gives very little information about the particular hint and further clicking on any of the suggested hints will take you to a page inviting you to subscribe to Ancestry.com if you have not already. If you are not a subscriber, you are not allowed to see any specific information about the hint.
There is nothing you can do about this, after all it is their server that you are using. Just learn to ignore it.

Instantly, ancestry starting showing me they had "hints" for practically everybody in my database. I don't particularly like their hints unless it is census data or public records I can verify. My question is once you put your data on ancestry, do you do your research there or do you continue with Legacy? I'm more comfortable with Legacy but it means when I find something, I have to enter it in Legacy and again in ancestry. How do other do this?
