On a point of accuracy, and to be totally pedantic, brightsolid do not "own" Scotlandspeople which is a partnership between General Register Office for Scotland, the National Archives of Scotland and the Court of the Lord Lyon enabled by brightsolid.
It doesn't matter in the context of this thread but there may be some people who would like to know the detail in case it comes up at a future date.

They offered the service Janet,but didnt let it be known very well did they?so go get it I say,sure they must be able to afford it as they still get people paying on there and they own all this lot and FMP as well.

Problem is, I do have a Scots image that I'd like but it feels a bit naughty to use the Help clinic to get it.

I wonder how much SP is losing in revenue?

upgrade to Platinum on GR
free subscription to FMP
free credits on Scotlands People

All 3 of the sites owned by brightsolid


They are not supposed to use any other site than those 3

Scotlands people is owned by the same peeps as GR and FMP so it isn't a problem.
