Member Since: May 2007 Posts: 3 Send Message	I started to look at this thread because the title said it all. I have been a member for several years, and I just want to say that I am not impressed with the new site at all! I find it awkward to use, links don't work, on one page it tells me that I have matches, but when I go to look for them it tells me that there are none! I can't upload photos. Records that I have viewed before are suddenly not there anymore. The list goes on. Unfortunately I only renewed my membership in March. I won't be renewing again!

	Just spent 12 minutes trying to get connected to the site. Kept getting "unable to connect, possibly site too busy" message. When I finally managed to connect to the site, the home page said"7 posts in the past hour" Busy????? Genes seems not to be compatible with Firefox.

	I just 'clicked' on sent messages - on the home page - and after a very long wait it did open. But that pause is far too long for a 21 century website. Pee Emm :-( Correction: it was from the 'messages' page NOT the home page. The home page still has no mini-tree! It is taking about 20 seconds to go from - messages to sent messages. :-( :-( :-( :-(

	So did I, Roy. All I wanted to do was bookmark something. Ken, I have to log in with co.uk. but not with za.

	I tried the link and it expected me to log in. Probably because it was a za site link. Fortunately using the back key meant I didn't have to sign in before posting this.

	Monday to Friday 8 or 8:30 am to about 4:30 pm Some people manage to get a response by going to the GR Wall on FB, and posing their question on there NOT the best or preferred method by most members ............ but at least you get some sort of response!
