Is there a problem uploading Gedcom files to GR? I started my upload over 28 hours ago and my status message still says: - 'Your Tree Status: Awaiting Gedcom Import.'. I can't upload another Gedcom file as it says that there is already an upload in progress. John

Dear Genes Reunited, When you come in please could you sort this problem out first. Many thanks in hope. John

Have you tried clicking the Refresh button to see if it really is still uploading? Joan

Hi Joan, Yes, many times and it still says it's 'Awaiting Gedcom Import.'. John

Sorry John My reply was probably a bit obvious, Sadly, I have no other ideas, but hopefully someone more PC lit than me will come up with something. Joan

Thanks for your interest Joan. I am pretty sure that it's a problem at the GR end again and they will have to sort it out. It's just so frustrating having to wait so long for what should be a simple and straight forward process. John

Hello there This is quite a regular problem. Whatever you do, leave well alone. The last time we had problems, I tried deleting my tree to see if that helped with uploading, and I ended up with just me in the tree for a fortnight.They do right it again in the end, I just e mailed them every day to 'jolly them up' Lynda

Hi Lynda, I emailed my situation to Genes Reunited about 9hrs ago. I guess GR would still be in bed then. I just wonder how long it will take them to sort out. My upload has been running for around 21 hours now. It's only a small file. In the past it's never taken more than a couple of min's to upload. John
