Catherine, after the unusual shutdown your PC's OS will have checked for errors and attempted to repair them. Presumably in doing so it fixed the fault that was causing you to have to sign in each time.

The errors you got later seem typical for the period 0200-0600 UTC as others often report errors around then. Maybe GR/Brightsolid does maintenance then.

A couple of names to add to my tree, and some dates to add to existing people.

Open the site......... click on "use old tree" (I won't use the new one until the bugs have been iron out) and what did I see? ....... FOUR TIMES!

I will send a message to the "complaints" people, but I'll probably get the usual blah blah blah reply. The Error Log must be enormous.

I'll try to access my tree again..... I must be a glutton for punishment.

This is getting weird. Straight in to the site this morning (even though the power went off)............. I tried the site again..... got two Error messages, then went straight in.

Genes Discombobulated.

Power went off last night for a few seconds. Computer rebooted itself ofcourse. Now wondering why I didn't have to login to GR this morning? I've had to re-login (even though I rarely logout) for weeks.

THAT is a new one!!!


I've never seen anything like that ................. thank goodness!!!

I just sent a message to GR.

I tried to view another tree..... waited and waited........ then left the room for ten minutes to give it time to download....... came back and found this:

Anyone else get this? A new experience for me. One I could do without.

AND today I send contact messages.......which do not appear in my Sent Messages. Lost in Cyber Space again.

I'll try to access that tree again...... but if I have to wait too long I'll give up - AGAIN!

I was in GR, looked at something else, and got thrown out... tried to get back into GR and got the Error message...... multiple times.........

The last sentence puzzles me.......... to "return" to the home page......
I WAS TRYING TO LOGIN!!!!

I think I'll go pull some weeds in the garden, has to be more fun than this.

:-D

Thank you Phil!!



don't get mad at us :-D


I really do like GR, and would have hated to have to give up my membership.



sylvia

Oh I do like a conspiracy theory. ;-) When I started last year with brightsolid and joined the Genes Reunited team, I had exactly the same thoughts, but I can assure you the two brands are not on a merger course.

The team certainly has the desire to make it one of the best genealogy sites available, and yes we do realise we have a long road ahead of us, but we're looking forward to the challenge.

Regarding the wrong records, please send any transcription errors to customer support. We will be releasing an on-line notification system soon.

And regarding your membership, as I understand it, as long as you keep renewing you keep the original package subscription price. So don't let the renewal slip!

That is EXACTLY what I have been thinking of as the "ulterior motive"

............ and presumably what the Competitions Board did not want to happen, as it does reduce the number of choices of English sites.


I do not believe that this site is anywhere near the best, nor adequate, for records etc. I've heard that you can't even get them to make changes in wrong records.


It is extremely valuable for the help on the Community Boards, and contacts made

......... and that is well worth the £10 per annum that I pay, although more recent members pay £20 (wonder when our sub will get increased????)


So I would hope that any merger would keep these boards and aspects.

Perhaps you missed the latest announcement at
http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards.page/board/announcements/thread/1287448

Personally, I think this site is far better than Ancestry, and yes we may have been critical on how long it has taken to sort out the many problems but there is light at the end of the tunnel

I wish I'd taken my friends' advice and used Ancestry from the start. :-|

I really miss those great Hot Matches.

Can't wait till i see them again.

Alan S.

Thanks Phil



............. although all the problems have been previously reported over the past weeks and months!

That is why I am so frustrated.




sylvia

Just so that you are aware that I am reading this, I have posted an update on Message Centre thread. And I will try an provide a brief update on the various issues reported above tomorrow when we've had a chance to investigate.

Regards Phil

WELL !!!


I posted on the GR wall on FB yesterday, re all the problems and asking if GR was going to be doing anything


and I have just seen their response:-


Hi Scilly - I can absolutely understand your frustration and can only apologise. We have now halted all releases and the performance of the site is our main concern. We are hoping to have the issues totally rectified within the next 2 weeks. Unfortunately it is our members using the boards that are being most effected, mainly because you are on the site a lot and navigating from page to page experiencing more errors. Please please bear with us. We will write another technical update soon.

In practice, only a handful of members use the message boards. The majority of members are completely oblivious to the discussions going on on her.

In fact only 43 members have bothered to read this thread

It doesn't really Lindsey because less than half an hour later it says:

18 new posts in the last hour
38 messages sent in the last hour
526 names added to trees in the last hour


That is a noticeable rate of growth (except for posts). :-)
