Thing is Kay, there have been problems on and off for far longer than the current fiasco. This is what I really don't understand especially as so many other (free) websites run smoothly.

Ronald, someone on FB asked if they would be giving refunds but didn't get a yes or no, just 'email spport@ etc......hmmm, isn't that the ad that members were saying either bounced back or no reply?

I know Island its servers aswell that cause lots of the problems..other sites dont have this ongoing problem but unless they get some big gun techs in who actually know how to fine tune then its a no win for all.....it just seems to run on half power,,,,,,

Thanks for that Genes.
May I ask how you are going to compensate your paying members?
A free extension on our subscription per chance?

The recent problems have been caused by a migration to new servers. As you can tell, we are still ironing out some of the issues.

Please contact support on [email protected] regarding compensation.

Thank you Genes for taking the problem seriously and compensating members for their inconvenience caused by the faults on the site.

Here's hoping the problems are sorted soon

Please ,,its annoying yes,,,but give the Tech team a break,they are doing all they can to get the site back on par they can only work at the browsers and servers pace...I'm sure it wont be long now.....

I use IE8

This site is running very slow loading pages etc.

Seems to be when adverts are changing !!!

Fed up with having to login again and again

And those essential maintenance messages are driving me up the wall

Well just sent a message to GR re the compensation question and asked were all members going to get an extension on their sub

Error messages in the last 10 mins and only got back on site through a GR message in my email inbox

Not a happy bunny
