Island ..... it was quite the time back then, wasn't it?

There were some real nasties, even on the help boards, as you say. One I still remember was NanaSue + her other names, she never seemed to realise that her membership number remained the same no matter what her name was :-D

I understand that she's on FB now, with many names!

I had the same issue with card when renewing in June :-S Good job I had another - there was nothing amiss with the first one, I think it's them.

Sylvia, I didn't post for a good while either. First because I joined for tree building and didn't know there were chat boards - two back then. Then I found the chat boards....... :-0 :-0 :-0 Even the 'help' boards had a good few nasties - I still wouldn't post on any of those.

Thank you, guys!

This is now the site that I have been on the longest, apart from possibly Ancestry. I first joined Friends Reunited, and that led me to GR. I was too scared to post on this General Chat part though after I received a nasty welcome!


Linda .... they certainly don't make it easy!!

I always forget to keep glancing up top to see if RENEW is showing!

It is good that you sorted it out. They don’t make things easy though :-(

Same thing happened to me this year which I found strange as I had given them my new card number last year and I’m on auto renew.

That happened to me many moons ago, that's when they decided to hike my sub :-|

Pleased you managed to sort it Sylvia :-)

Pleased that you have renewed Sylvia. I have the same issue with the card. ;-) ;-)

I did not know until I tried to submit a post that my subscription had run out.

Debated a little, but decided I would renew especially as I still got the cheap offer ;-)

Had a bit of trouble though ................. GR decided that I was using a different card than the one I was actually doing. Think I've only used the one they wanted on one occasion in all the years!

It wasn't my fault, honest!
