	They didn't announce it Mark. GR don't have a very good reputation when it comes to communicating with their paying customers....unless they want more money out of them! We can only quess that there was a problem either with the software, or the servers. Things seemed to have returned to 'normal' about 1830 last night.

Given the attitude that the company has to its customers there is no way I'd switch to FindMyPast. I'll stick with the alternative service despite it's US bias. ;-)
