COMPLETE FAIL - new setting: "Only see websites on the allowed list" - BROKEN!!!

Hi Eliezer,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

We are aware of this issue and have escalated to the concerned team. They are currently working on the issue. We will keep you posted with the results as soon as we hear from them.

We appreciate your patience meanwhile.

Hi all,

The issue has been fixed. When you select the option "Only see websites on the allowed list", you will be able to enforce the restriction where your child is able to only visit the sites specified in the "Always allow these" List.

We appreciate your patience as we worked through the issue.

Thanks.

Naveen, would you be able to comment about the many, many dissatisfied comments about the new "simplified" design - and the desire of so many to bring to previous more powerful (not complicated!) version back?

EliezerChicago, I am one of those parents that want the expanded (less simplified version) version of the site that gave me options which provided much more control of how I can control family safety for my children.  Why not have both options available?  For those that comfortable with computers and administration, let them have access to the advanced more powerful functionality and for those that are not comfortable with this, a simplified version of the website would be available.  For me, I would definitively prefer a fully advanced version of the controls like they used to be. 

Hi Eliezer,

The issue has been fixed.

Could you please Check "Only see websites on the allowed list" and see if that is working.

Thanks.

Chuck, I apparently was very unclear. I am certainly one of those parents, too! And as a matter of fact, everyone who has posted on this forum is also one of those parents! What I was trying (not too well apparently) to ask Naveen (MS employee) was to address the dissatisfaction of people like ourselves who want the more powerful controls back.

Hi Anil,

it's not working for me. "Only see websites on the allowed list" is activated and still can navigate to any site.

No, I am still having two problems as I've detailed here:
