OFITG - I think they may be the IT team.

Friday afternoon actually :-D

It has all the hallmarks of one of Seymour's creations :-D :-D :-D

See you all tomorrow - if the site hasn't crashed - bye ;-)

Yes Ann, you're correct, it was a Friday. I remember pouring a glass of champers in celebration

Are you sure you don't mean 'my left foot'

I find it quite amusing really, Brightsolid publishing who also run Scotlandspeople without any problems allow this site to have so many problems.

A company like Brightsolid you would have thought reading their self praises on their site, would make sure that Genesreunited would have the technical knowhow to make sure the site runs without so many problems, or at the very lest employ some technicians who knew what they are doing.

They could always ask the techie guys at Ancestry for help :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

George :-) :-)

Maybe they will give me a job

I wish they would Errol,

The lot they have at the moment don't seem to be able to sort out all the problems they keep having :-D :-D :-D :-D
Still to be honest do we expect anything else from GR :-D :-D :-D :-D ;-) ;-)

George :-)

I have just been "signed out" for the third time this evening.

I am using a capped internet connection tonight - others may use it all the time if they use pay as you go dongles or cards in tablets.

This is COSTING ME MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IT COULD BE COSTING YOU MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You have paid for a service you are not receiving - up front.

You are also paying money out because of the inadequacies of this site if you are using PAYG.

No, not on PAYG on Sky.
Don't have any problems with any other site except here.

George :-)

PAYG :-0

Errol, I thought you were bright ;-)


Edit: Mersey :-D

George at the end of the day - you are paying for a service you are not receiving.

I agree Errol, but when you think about it we often pay for services that are not up to scratch.

I don't think GenesReunite could care less that we continually have connection problems on this site, they have had our money so we can all bugger off :-| :-| :-|

George :-)

true - ask for your money back. "Fit for purpose" applies to both goods AND services

Well, when my period of membership expires I wont be renewing.
To be honest, I don't really know why I renewed last time.

George :-)

I think some may be joining you there!

They once gave me three months for free when I really had a moan back up with stats. Let's see, that must have been worth something less than a fiver. Thrilling.

The usual industry sources do not give GRu much ad revenue from Google. Given that it is the various connections to GoogleAds that are the root most of the performance problems they should consider no ads at all and bump up the subs to, say, £ 5 month basic (paid monthly via PayPal). The site would run a lot better and suffer a lot less churn.

Too much ? Well Last.FM radio charges £ 3 / month and I rarely moan about that.

What happens at the moment is that they sign up some young Gerund for a year who either tires of the whole affair or runs off to ANOTHER SITE.
