	Is anyone, apart from me, still having site performance problems?

Member Since: March 2003 Posts: 7,819 Send Message	Not had any particular issues this morning. What problems are you having?
Member Since: April 2004 Posts: 23,195 Send Message	Joy	Report	23 Oct 2011 11:41

Member Since: July 2003 Posts: 604 Send Message	Yes, I'm still getting an error message on everything I click on. I gave up in disgust yesterday and I can see the same thing happening again today. I'm off to Ancestry. Annie

You will need to log in again once you have done that but you should be able to navigate and use the site without problems.

	Did yesterday, IGP. Some posts from me on facebook today: Please, GR, close it down and get the site working properly. This morning, just now I was asked to sign in. I nearly couldn't be bothered but then decided I would and a new error message appeared: Error Login failed - incorrect email address or password Attempting to change board - had to log in again. That's it for today. Life's too short to waste time on a malfunctioning site.

	Still having problems Clicking on that link for reset cookies is a waste ot time. Takes at least 5 attempts to log back into site. And when you do finally get back on site you get the error messages straight away

	Why should we have to change our settings to accommodate the failings of GR, i don't have to do it with other sites,( free ones as well) and i am damn well not going to do it for GR. If it carries on like this i shall not bother to use it. George

	George I only tried it as a last resort. Would not normally do anything suggested by a website when the problem is down to them. Maureen

	IGP well what does it mean then "by resetting your cookies", is it just the cookie for GR or all them for the sites visited. I only change/delete cookies on my system as a last resort, knowing that i shall have to sort out all my passwords etc etc to log in again to all the sites i use, or have i got it completely wrong.

Member Since: March 2003 Posts: 7,819 Send Message	George, yes, hopefully it will. I did run the clear and all seems to be working for me, but obviously doesn't prove anything as it could just be coincidence.

	Still getting error messages so really was a waste ot time doing anything about cookies. Given up
