I hope you have all complained direct to GR, it's the only way to sort it out. I certainly have, and have asked for recompense or I go to the media.

lots of people with a guilty conscience who thought they were banned....lol

or they just know GR too well

I was off from afternoon on Fri until half an hour ago ..thought I'd been banned!

I had posted an item on a thread last night then logged off tried to get on later and couldn't get the sites home page up over 2 or 3 hours. Same problem with the Connections site. FRU was OK tho. Ron

From 9.30 last night till this afternoon, I was unable to get on ....infuriating! lol

there seems to be a lot of mention of Rugby on here. Perhaps the maintenance department are all Keen rugby fans and went to drown their sorrows.....

I was off from about 12pm yesterday & it only came back on about 10 am today

My sky box died on me just as the rugby started, so I was in an undignified position sorting out various cables, making sure they were all connected properly, changing and testing fuses, phoning sky, booking the engineer to come out on Monday morning with a new box, the swapping all the cables round so we could watch the remains of the rugby on terrestrial TV, with its grainy rubbish reception. (the reason we got sky in the first place).

And comforting a terrified cat after fireworks went off right outside.

Didn't come of GR to do it though, if I had I might not have got back on it seems.

Teresa..I wondered why it was so quite..i thought everyone was watching the rugby lol

Joy as someone else said, the free week was given in the pre-ITV days...I can't see ITV doing the same thing to be honest.

Julie, not everyone did, only about 75% of us were locked out at any time. Depends which of their bank of servers you were logged in to.

I was on here till late ish last night and back again abt 9 ish this morning..I had no problems

I tried at about 11.30 last night but couldn't get on either here or Connections, but could get on any other site.

Think it must have been ITV's server lol

I was posting yesterday. Left the computer - came back to post again after the rugby had finished and the site was unavailable. My ISP is plusnet. I had no other problems with any other site. This morning - unavailable. I went out. I tried again just now - working.


When this happened before, three years ago, GR posted a thread containing an apology and a statement that we would be given a week's extra membership. Perhaps this will happen again this time?

I do not particularly wish to use this site this afternoon, I did wish to use it at the other times when it was not available.

Other than the ancestry site, this is the only site to which I pay a membership fee. The working status of this site has been appalling recently.

These things happen, things do break down, it would just be nice to see GR owning up to it being their equipment, not ours.

Went off last night and was still off this morning before 7. Thought I'd done something to make it disappear! So glad to have it back but pretty poor show on GRs part. I'm with Pipex homecall by the way.

I'm with VIGIN MEDIA and I have been locked out all morning and into this afternoon.
Don't know about last night, because I was not on.

I think it has to be GR really.............it will be interesting to hear any responses people get.

xx

I am certain it has nothing to do with our ISP, either that or the most amazing coincidence happened, with BT, Tesco, Tiscali, NTL and Virgin, all experiencing exactly the same problem at exactly the same time...and only happining when trying to access the same site...GR...

Can get into Genes site but not into my tree...weird!!!

I could not get on since late yesterday never had problem before. was not letting me on to the page at all even thou its in my favorites. back know thou. butttttt for how much longer?
