Yes, it has been very slow, but seems to have been sorted out now.

Ok getting on, but my first posting to a thread received the dreaded error message after timing out. Pressed the back arrow and then into 'my threads' and there was my post showing :-S

Several other posts also took their time to appear, but at least they avoided the error message :-)

Caroline Report 6 Feb 2018 22:53

For the past few weeks I've found the error message if I'm trying to add to a thread late at night, not so bad during the day.

I've started to message Support each time I get the dreaded error message. So far, I have been advised to make sure my 'cache is cleared' - (standard reply) and that they were sorry I was 'having trouble in resetting my password' eh?? :-S

I am now waiting to be told to get dressed before I log on. :-D

Support posted on the findmypast Facebook page yesterday.
Apparently there was an ‘Outrage’ they’d been dealing with.

Could that have been cause of GRs problems? They are owned by the same company.

Tried for a good 50 minutes to get on yesterday!

Every other website was ok.

Very frustrating, I don't come on here every day, and I had some info to put in before I forgot it!
