Fair enough, was just passing the suggestion on.

Researching:
Eayres (Northants/London) Walker (Surrey) Loveday (Northants) Moore (Tipperary)

I wouldn't recommend doing that. 3.3.1 must have facilities in it that 3.3.3 is intended to supersede.

Also some people have said that data they put in yesterday is not there today. Could be they used 3.3.1.

I don't know if this works, but this solution was posted on another thread on the same subject.

Has to be worth a try.

"'If you go to open your tree, it will open a new window. Click in the URL and change the 3.3.3 to 3.3.1 and press enter, this works for me'

Was able to access tree again shortly after posting my last message. This morning I am unable to search the surnames for people I know I have on my tree - very frustrating.

I'm having the same issues - yesterday I had to keep refreshing my tree and today I worked on it for a few hours before suddenly getting the same message as Stephanie. Perhaps the tree element of the site is down for maintenance due to the number of problems

tree gone down again what a surprise
message i got this time was the following

404 - File or directory not found.
The resource you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

My tree has just come back up second time today it has gone down :-(

I have made a few posts on their Facebook page but only response has been from other dissatisfied members.

Why don't they tell us what the problem is, beginning to think that Brightsolid want to let this site go to the dogs and then use that as an excuse to close it and concentrate on building up the dating side of Friends Reunited, more money and less hassle in that market, also they do have another lucrative genealogy site they could transfer people to, Find My Past, you know the scenario, economies of scale and all that stuff :-(

Researching:
I have given up trying to find any information on (1) Mother of George Wotherspoon - he was born 1759 in Old Monklands. (2) When James Patrick Clusker born 1890 married Mary Ellen Bryant in USA. (3) Information on Thomas Wotherspoon born 1901 in Fife, lived in the Huddersfield area in 1952. Photo is of me in the cloisters of Iona Abbey.

Stephanie Report 27 Dec 2012 21:33

well for a site that has been running for many years now you would have thought they would have been more organised
i managed to get my tree up with immediate family but now it wont let me go to a different relative when i type them in to find them

I've been having the HTTP 503 error since I signed up and paid last week.

I've sent GR a message as others have but I'm starting to regret my choice based on all the similar messages
