I got no new percentage or regions in any of my countries, but it knew I had American southerner ancestry. Very disappointed.

Probably because Southern USA is English genetic group (just my guess), and you scored no English in ethnicity estimate. They refine regions only for people who score main region of selected genetic group in ethnicity estimate. If my guess is right, you had same bad luck like me or Kaspias. You can e-mail them though, I have.

I don't know why my father's took so long to update since it's an actual saliva test meanwhile the ones that uploaded their raw data from other companies got it right away.

According to this, I'm 5% African, that is not possible.
