I can nearly get in - which is almost more frustrating than not being able to get in at all! I am being asked for a 'username'. I have entered only 'trial' in the password section - but it comes back with wanting my username. Any help from anyone please? I got thus far by using the addie typed in by Kim a short while ago, and after remembering to delete the brackets around the dot before the com, and also deleting some of the underlines et al at the end of the address. Maybe that's why I need a username as well as a password? Rosi

Hi, To everyone having problems - have you got Norton? If so, go to this address: http://libraryweek.galedemo(.)com/history.htm Then turn off Norton BEFORE clicking on The Times link halfway down the page. It should bypass the Username/Password page altogether and go straight to the Search page. Don't forget to turn your Norton back on once on the Search page! Hope this helps! Pippa.

Well, I've been in to the site on several occasions since seeing this thread - and I've found some very interesting information too about relatives, including addresses, which could prove helpful. I've also got Norton - so that can't be the reason why some people aren't getting in, can it? Thanks so much Maggie for leading me to this site which has been a real eye-opener! Janet

Maggie - Thanks for the email. It worked first time.

I've been in and out of this site on numerous occasions over the past 6 weeks, and have managed to get some really valuable information. However - I can't get in any more! It keeps asking for an id and password. Does anyone know if the free trial has ended now? Janet

Maggie wonder could you help me get in please. I get the page but they want the username as well as the password which I tried using (trial all lower case), its not working, says invalid I suppose its because I dont know the username. Please help when you get a chance. Pat x

Hi Maggie, this seems to be a really interested site, thanks very much, but I just can't get in!! Very frustrating. I type in the password "trial" but then it wants a username, and I've tried all the other suggestions on this thread. Help would be very much appreciated. Kate xx

Hello Maggie I've used this site really successfully in my family history work finding Angliss murderers, murdereees, debutantes and businessmen. I accessed it via Bedfordshire Libraries website at www.bedfordshire.gov.uk then Libraries. You don't need to live in Bedfordshire as I do to be an online member and it's free. Jenny

Can someone email me the link please? I got in ages ago and found something on one of my ancestors. I saved the page in my favourites but now I can't get back in that way, or by any of the methods listed on this thread. Most frustrating. Angela

I too have been trying to get into this site, but it won't let me in either I keep getting "page cannot be displayed".

The link and the password are not the problem. Tell us what the username is! How are you all getting in without it?

Kim

Kim Report 8 Jul 2004 20:58

Last week you only needed a "password" NOT a username this week you need a username. The trial was only supposed to be for a Week in the End of May and I think they left it open by mistake. I think it has now been shut down which is why we are having trouble getting in. If you google "times digital archives" you will see it it really for students and universities and that you have to pay a fee to get in at all unless registered .We were just lucky they left it open so long!!

All, Hadn't been on the site for a while - hadn't realised they'd shut us out!! Jenny, Can you still get in through Bedfordshire Libraries Online now that the free trial seems to have finished? Maggie
