Have a look at Announcements re last weekend and tomorrow.

PP, If it was a Net problem then it would be the same for all sites on the net,

If you have problems at busy times then thats probably down to your ISP and the type and speed of your connection where you live

Like jax ...............


........ I'm more active on the computer out of hours with regard to the UK!


I do most of my activity between about midnight and 7 am UK time.


Also the beta site was working fine .................. and that is a .co.uk site



so not sure that PP's idea is valid ............... at least for me.









it does seem to be working OK at the moment .................


.......... I note that GR responded on the FB wall about 7 to 8 hours ago .............


"I am sorry we haven't picked up on this earlier. I have been using the site today and it seems fine. Are you all still having problems?
7 hours ago"




That's were many people complained :-D

As Most of my problems with error messages have been between midnight and 7 am when you are lucky to see half a dozen on the boards....I doubt very much it has anything to do with school holidays ect

There is a similar thread to this on the Chat board and I will add by twopennorth hear as well.

My theory about the Error messages and general sluggishness of the net in general is this:

1: Its the school holidays
2: there are 1000's of tourists in the UK

Both of the above will mean that there are far more people trying to use the Internet in the UK than usual. I find that I always have issues around any school holiday, so I do not think it is necessarily a Genes problem but a Net problem in General. I have also found over the last 3/4 days that Facebook is a mare at busy times. :-D

my cache is so clean it squeaks!

No Error messages today.......... yet

wow!!!


posted OK :-D

Back again after the dinner break


got on .co.uk first time, no problem

This is my 3rd thread, and 3rd post


the other 2 posts submitted fine ............ I might just get a ban for one of them :-D



I did hear from someone else that the tree on fmp was the same as on here.


I don't want it for the tree ......... OH offered to give me a sub to fmp for my anniversary present last August............. and I've never taken him up on it .............


........... until tonight


I was trying to look at some US records, and not getting anywhere







let's see what happens with this post :-D




sylvia

Sylvia,

I decided the other week to have a look at the tree on FMP. The first time I tried to create a tree guess what I got? Thank goodness it was a different colour.

On the second attempt I managed to start my tree. :-S

What will make me laugh is those members who are threatening to leave GR because of the new tree will be in for a shock if they go to FMP because they use the same tree.

Looks like the problem has started on .com.au as I just had the message so resigned in using the .co.za site. Fingers crossed that this message will post.

Gai

:-D

Just changed to the beta side of things as error message appeared on .co.za

thing is .......................



I took out a sub with fmp .................. a fantastic cheap deal to findmypast.com, aimed at US subscribers ................ about 2 hours ago.


Every time I tried to look at records on there, I got ............



you would never guess what??????







the ERROR message :-| :-| :-|



not, however, a purple one!!!

well,



that message posted without a problem!!

Went to bed after my posting at approx. 7 am UK time.


just come back on site.


This is the first thread I opened.





getting purple error message when try to move from p.1 to p.2 of this thread


:-P :-P :-P :-P

Tried to log onto .co.uk and couldn't access the site at all but switched to .com.au and haven't had a problem at all.

errer message 9times gettng on to my threads and trying to submit :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S

Joy, it doesn't matter what site you get the error on, if it's a cache problem the other sites will appear to be error free.

It seems that something is causing errors to occur. Maybe there is a lot of activity due to Olympic fatigue or maybe server capacity is temporarily reduced which makes those with large trees or threads particularly vulnerable to error messages.

It's very random, sometimes no access at all, sometimes it's fine between boards but can't change page etc :-S

Further to my post earlier the .co.uk site has started giving me errors again no matter what i do,

I have now changed to the .za site and it appears fine, AT THE MOMENT
