Perhaps they have made a goodwill gesture in view of all the times that the site has been slow or crashed, or we haven't been able to use a particular facility. Very nice of them if that's the case! Mandy :)

Hi all - have checked my membership and I see I've been given extra 10 days. I would quite happily forego these if GR would fix the problems I've been having. Whats the use of being a member when you are unable to use the full facilities. Still, as I've said before, Its nice to be able to see just how nice people who are members can be in the way they help each other. Grace R

Received:- "----- Original Message ----- From: info To: dean Sent: Thursday, October 21, 2004 5:28 PM Subject: FREE - Membership extension Dear Joy Over the past few weeks we’ve received many emails saying how much you love the recent improvements to the site, and we’re delighted that you’ve welcomed the changes. However, we’re also aware that for a couple of days some of you may have experienced a slower than usual service as these upgrades have been put in place. To compensate for the frustration this may have caused, we’ve added an extra week to your membership. If you have not yet had a chance to check out the new changes, why not log on now.
