Has anyone tried uploading a revised GEDCOM lately? Did it take long? It does warn that if the file is large (which mine is) uploading may take several 'minutes'. I've tried twice tonight and both times it's taken so long I've crashed out. I've got Broadband and I uploaded an even larger file to my Tribal Pages site in seconds... Is it me... or is there a general problem?

sorry you dont mean exporting it do you??There is a problem on this site with them and they are supposed to be sorting it out , look at previous threads. If I was you I would wait till hopefully next week when the problem is sorted.

No, I don't mean exporting. I am trying to upload (ie. import) a revised GEDCOM from Family Historian to Genes Reunited. Time to give up though, I think!

The Import Gedcom 'feature' has been out of action for over a week now. The technical team are 'working' on it. The site is almost useless without this feature. If you can't import a Gedcom how can you be 'Reunited' (I am not going to manually enter 4700 individuals when the import normally takes about 5 minutes).
