General Chat

:-D :-D

Agree Ann but I had to get in my tuppence worth, never
know when I'll get the chance again ;-)

Hello Estelle, welcome back.

I don't send/receive lots of messages, but have little problem when I do. My attachments seem to work OK too.

The last time I logged in was, I think, in October, 2015, when we upgraded to Windows 10. The time before that is anyone's guess.

Just wanted to ~~~~~~ to Estelle :-D :-D :-D

I'd like to be able to use emoticons on messages too :-D

I responded to your post on Genealogy Chat ..................


but just wanted to say Hi, again :-D

Hi Estelle.

Don't really have any problems apart from as previously mentioned about the message Icon +1(or how ever many) doesn't go when they are read. Could take days sometimes.

BTW GRSA still has Xmas decs up. :-0

I thought at one time, that was tied up with your (my) Email, until I had read both, the +1 was there

I also have a +1 and no unopened messages. It doesn't bother me other than I think it looks lazy and neglectful on GRs part.

Actually, I think the whole site has tumbleweed rolling around. So much of it hasn't worked for years. Call it a day and put low cost community boards on FMP.

I don't have a problem with messages. I also have a sub to Find My Past

What I would really like from GR is HONEST and TRUTHFUL answers to members questions not the usual automated replies which never answer the question and are an insult to our intelligence.

100% agree with Island and Tenerife Sun.

There are just too many faults and too little attention paid to them to make GR viable, even the facility to add keepsafe photos to your tree is hit and miss, sometimes they attach sometimes they don't.

The lack of a working advanced search is particularly frustrating to those trying to help with queries ( and no doubt for those new members hoping to use it to find family!)

Put all the money into FMP (which is also not without its faults!) and provide the same community boards there, as Island says, at low cost. It's increasingly obvious that GR is being sidelined ( yes even on the FB page ) so why wait?

Hi everyone,

thank you so much for your replies. It's lovely to see so many familiar names too. I do appreciate your input and it's been really helpful.

I am no longer part of the Genes customer support team, so if you do have any other queries about Genes and subscriptions then please email the team - [email protected]. All questions are answered very quickly.

I do hope you are all well and enjoying your research. I've still got a few brickwalls, but my tree is slowly growing!

Kind regards,

Estelle

I still have +1 message so guess that will be with me forever. Oh well.

Something not so far mentioned........

I find it a tad annoying not to be able to add more than one attachment in reply mode.

Well Estelle
I think it would be a great idea
If we could block people from messaging us ourselves

I remember one rather nasty Filthy PM
I got from a dirty old man on here

and had to wait for Support to block him
From contacting me :-( :-(

Facebook has this Facility :-D :-D
