Family Trees on Ancestry's Website (General)

Someone from branch of my family (not Forest of Dean branch directly but someone who married into a descendant of it) has put a family tree on the Ancestry website. Though some of the information they have is correct some of it isn't. For example they have said one of my great aunties died when she was three years old when, in fact, she was in her 90s, I knew her well and I am still in touch with one of her grandchildren.

I can only gain access to it via the public library's subscription of the city where I live,(I am too mean to pay for a personal subscription!!!!) I have tried to flag up the mistakes and that I have some photographs I wish to share with them but I am afraid of posting my e-mail address as, in the past I once put a previous e-mail address on such a site and had so much spam as a result I had to change the e-mail address and abandon the old one.

Is there any way of alerting the people, who put the family tree on Ancestry, to the fact that some of what they say is inaccurate without having to go through the laborious process of adding a note to each individual person on it rather than to the whole tree? I would just like to attach one note to the tree to state what I think they need to reconsider in the light of the information and photographs which I have.

Is it possible to upload photographs to it using such a subscription rather than a personal one? In other words does it only permit the originator of the family tree to add to the photographs?

I have been hampered too by the fact that the council's connection to the site jams regularly, and it says there is a connection problem which makes it difficult to stay on it for more than a few minutes, though I have flagged this up to them today and on previous occasions.

P.S. Was near the Forest last week but was unable to stop and realised how wide an area it covers.
