I am supposed to be getting ,according to aol, 3Mbits/sec.and testing speed seems to ok this, but

in practice downloading from email gets me sometimes as low as 15 Kb/s aol say there is nothing wrong with their system.........Rollo how do we ditch this extra stuff?

Rollo, there is nothing worse when people have problems than somebody 'bragging' how they never ever have the problem because their system is perfect. I have Firefox, with Adblock etc etc, I don't have a problem on any other site but Genes but I do have the error message consistently on here.

I too am fed up with all the error messages. I often give up using the site in sheer frustration.

I have never had any of these thread error messages on a variety of machines, operating systems and such. OTOH I have usually been using a fast internet connection. OTOH phone 3G access is useless.

The primary reason for these errors are time delays caused by assorted referreals to Google tracking and advertising. Ditch that stuff and you'll sail along smoothly.
There is nothing that GRU/BS can do about it.

If you are using firefox install (a) AdBlocker and (b) NoScript

hope for all your sakes it isn't just me - but since this thread started I haven't had a single error message - perhaps GR do read our comments after all!

I get these error messages frequently on two of the games threads that Bob also uses. And it is very irritating!

:-| :-| :-|

Yeah Bob......

And invite us too.

Lets avum!!! :-|

:-D

....."we cant replicate the problem" = it isn't happening to us so we aren't interested.

Invite them round for tea Bob and show them.

I haven't had any problems with that happening,Bob.( I haven't spoken to you before.)

My beef is with trying to add details to,or to edit, the new tree.It's impossible.I add the details,then lose them all . It's very frustrating, and just makes me furious! I have reported the problem to the Support team,and they tell me that they're "working on it",but I don't believe that as it never gets fixed.The annoying problems still continue. I have been a member here for 7 years,and I do agree with you,the long-serving members do deserve to be treated better.I don't know why they removed the old tree,it worked far better than the new version does,and didn't have the same problems that this one has.

reply to me was ....."we cant replicate the problem"

Hi Bob, very well said, I agree completely. I emailed them a few weeks ago about this problem but their reply was 'we have accessed threads without any problems'..........not very helpful was it.
Jean xx :-S :-S

Dear Genes/Bright solid or whoever,

Can you please do something about the continual error messages obtained when surfing from thread to thread.........
this fault has been commented on for several months now, and as many of us are long serving members we deserve better....
