Find Ancestors

Hi all

Anyone else having the same problems today?

I've been trying to ask for help in both the help clinic and on the ttf boards and can't add at all - I just keep getting the error message.

Just wondered if it was only me as I can see other threads being posted by other peeps okay. :-((

Mary

I added one to the Help Clinic a couple of hours ago.

Hi Flick

Yes I saw yours and a couple of others.......but it just won't accept mine! :-((

I'm beginning to wonder if I smell or something LOL. But seriously, I wondered if it was because I had included some census details but even taking all that out it still won't accept my post! :-(((

Mary

I've just seen a query from you on on the help clinic Mary...

I have had a major problem trying to add info to someone else's therad.

I tried to post some IGI details.......nowhere near the 8000 character limit, and I got the 'website error' page.

Couldn't even send it by PM....had to resort to getting the person's e-mail and sending it that way.

Utterly stupid........but then, so are a lot of things on here now.

One of the most infuriating things is being sent to the indivdual 'surname' board when one clicks on 'trying to find' under boards summary having posted to - or even just looked at - a trying to find thread

Hi Cathy, yes I've managed to add my query, but only by removing all the details........which doesn't make life very easy for the helpers does it!?

And I can't even send it by pm. Utterly ridiculous! :-(((

Mary

Hi **Liz in Scotland**

Wow, many thanks for that. :-))))

I'm guessing that that is directly from SP and not the other place?!! LOL I know this because of the spelling of the surname! LOL

Yes, that is the correct family in 1851, thank you. :-)))

Mary

LOL............no Mary, it's from freecen -)

Hi **Liz in Scotland**


Ahhh! So that's the place to look eh?! LOL. I never even think about looking there, perhaps I should do so. ;-))))))

Mary

I have also had problems adding to a thread. I posted one reply then edited it. Got a page with just a reply box and page labelled page 2 of 1. When I tried to put further info on all I can get is the error message.

I get round the surnames bit by only using the back button rather than clicking on the board name.

it's been happening to m all the time for days now - somee threads I can add to, others I can't - very frustrating indeed - I cosed my computr down and started again to no avail

Ann of GG

I only have the problem when trying to add any c&p'd info - I couldn't even send it by pm to someone!

It was okay as long as I typed the info out, so had to wear my fingernails down to the bone and type it all out! LOL

Mary

thanks Mary. Just tried typing basic details instead of C & P (Ctrl C & V does not work either) and it worked.

Hi lancashireAnn

It's really weird isn't it - and yet I've seen other people posting c&p'd info onto the threads without any problems???

Mary

yes I wondered how the census info was pasted on some threads

I have now had an email telling me as a loyal member I can have 20% discount at renewal. I wonder what the discounted rate will be by next May!

It also tells me I can look at free non-indexed birth records. When looking at the option it tells me to put in 'year of free birth'.????? Tried my own as that was not free as pre NHS!!!

Mary

I tried and tried to post a new thread on Help Clinic


I literally can't get in contact with Support at GR any way ........... they suggested on 2 threads on Help that one should use the email address ....... and that failed as well. So I decided to address a thread to them asking what to do next as that board seemed to be the only place where they were interacting with members

I tried about 6 times and it would not accept it.




I did manage however to post a thread on Help with a request for help


I also failed to get a thread posted on a thread where I said why a couple of emails to GR had been returned, and in which I had included the support email address




I'm beginning to think that it really does matter what is in your post ....... when I took that email address out, the message posted.



This site is slowly driving me crazy! Even crazier than I am already!!





Ann .............

I got that message on My Account

and there is apparently another email being sent saying one of the major benefits of being a Standard member is "expert advisors on Help Clinic"




sylvia

yup - saw that one too. Are there no experts on the other boards then????????????

Maybe people will gradually realise that there is more expertise elsewhere and come back to the usual boards. It seems a bit boring at the moment.

Ah - well, maybe I will concentrate more on my own tree for a while.

This site is getting more idiotic by the minute.

I tried to post some freebmd marriage info............I could not SUBMIT it.

Ditto with some internet details found on google.

GR are in danger of killing the site.................

did you try to paste the info Flick?

That seems to be causing the problem. Ok if type the info out!!!!!!!!!!!!!
