Is anyone else experiencing problems?

Every time i try to do a search on the 1911 census, i get............

The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request.
And a whole page of gobbledygook!

Can anyone help please. PH.

I have just sorted mine!!
I logged on and instead of just putting in the details i wanted to search........i clicked on "Search Records" first and then clicked on 1911 census....... and dont ask me why or how but its working!!

Hope this works for you too. ;-)
