I got an email in response to my query re the RR, it arrived between 5 and 6 pm UK time. It tells me nothing, of course :-)

-------
Dear Sylvia,

Thank you for your email.

I can confirm the post has been re-instated and is available to view again.

With kind regards,

Genes Reunited Support Team

-------

The most interesting thing about the email was that underneath it was a phone number to use between 9am and 5.30pm (GMT) Monday to Friday

I've just come on the site, so have no idea when it was restored ................ it's now after 5 pm UK, and "after hours" for GR

Reason? There was a word on there that offended someone :-P

that really is quite hilarious

I only wish I'd thought of it ... but I think one might want to log out before trying that :-D

it might be even more amusing to see what they do about it!

isn't anybody else tempted to roam the boards ... like the so-called support board ... RRing all the 'Genes' posts??

what else to do on a Friday night when it's too late to do anything else ... except have another glass of wine

Claire and Joy


it is Friday, late evening.


soooooooooooooooo ...


nothing before about 8:30 am Monday morning


and my observations over the last several months have been that posts RR'd on Friday remain as RR'd until at least Tuesday and sometimes even Wednesday

I'd love to know the reason the rr'er gave.
Maybe admin will realise someone IS rr'ing just for the sake of it, and ban them!
