I've had 2 PMs this evening. First one no email as yet (nearly 2 hours), the second one's email was almost instantly recieved! Last week one email took 3 days - so it's a bit hit and miss. Guess it depends on your internet providers servers. Anne in North London

Thinking about it,i wonder if the new 'search' option on GR has a bearing on it,the servers seem so slow,the error messages get more frequent,but the boards are very quiet. I wonder if the main activity on GR is headinfg towards searches of census etc. After all GR charge for searches,the boards are free of charge. Glen

Hi Glan, I thought it was just me, sometimes when a pm comes into my messages on GR I don't know about it so always check my own e-mail. Just recently messages via GR are arriving a day later. Betty

Hi They are suposed to be pretty instant.but the last few days they mine have been anything from instant to the following day. Mind you GR has been a problem for quite a few over the last few days anyhow,with Data Error messages etc. Glen
