Good idea Ann. Iv'e been airing my views on my check contacts page thread. Maybe GC. could add an email disable button to "your details, "which would give you the opportunity to stop gc. forwarding emails to you if you do not wish to recieve any.. Then when you try to send an email to a disabled email address, a message could simply come up "e mail Disabled" It would stop all that wondering ! Elaine x

I would like notification if your email has been undeliverable. I am sure there are lots of people who have added their details on here, and then lost interest, and then changed their email address ( probably because of spam). At least we would know it was because they did not receive the message rather than just not interested. Also it would be useful if when we tried to contact someone we could see when they last logged on - i.e a regular user or not.

I have had the same problem as Christine - I have followed all the steps suggested but still no contacts will delete. I now wait until I have a few and ask GC to do them for me. Jacky

My main problem is that I can't delete contacts, something in the software set-up just isn't communicating !

Each time we logon we get a message on the home page "134 surnames from your tree have been added .......". Would it not be possible to add to this: "You have X new contacts - check Your Contents Page" This would help to prompt people to check contacts and might stop messages getting missed. I personally like the contacts page - since I use GC from work at lunchtime and home in the evening and have different email addresses in the 2 locations. (Apologies to anyone who saw this on the end of the Sincere Apologies thread - I thought it was out of context there). Ann
