....... this site??

For the last 3 or 4 days, I've been getting that Error message, but strangely it has once again been during my evening hours, which is the middle of the night or very early morning in the UK.

I haven't had any problems recently. In fact it's been quite a while since I've had error messages.

Findmypast on the other hand has been quite slow to react at times.

Thanks Kath

Must be because I'm in Canada ;-)

Yes Sylvia, I have had the Error message on 2 or 3 days this week, when I have tried to look in during the early hours.
I actually thought at the time,
"I wonder if Sylvia is having problems?"..as I know it is a time that I have noticed you might be on site.
After several attempts, I gave up.
I even tried to get in via 'the back door' by Googling names and places which I knew I had posted on this site, as that has got me 'in' in the past.
Not this time.
The error message was on at least 2 days, possibly more.

Gwyn ..................... I'm sorry that you had problems, but glad to hear that it wasn't just me!

Yes, I gave up after 2 or 3 tries. It was usually about 8 or 9 pm my time when I was trying to get on, which would be 4 or 5 am your time.

It does seem to be OK now ...................... fingers and toes crossed!
