FTF are aware that some people can't get in but no one seems to know why, sorry.

I'm off work ill so have only just caught up and I'm going back to my sick bed now. I'm not a techie so I'm no help anyway.

Keep trying seems to be the message.

Gwynne
hope you feel much better soon

....is it an area thing, maybe BT lines, I'm south coast, Portsmouth.

Bob still not in

Im in London...

Get better soon Gwynne.

I'm in Hertfordshire, and I can't get in. It's amazing how much washing and ironing I have done this morning!

It's horrid not getting on. It makes you realise how much you rely on it.

This is a copy of a message I've just posted on Tips:

I've just run a traceroute on it - it goes OK for a while, then stops at a north American server, which must be down.

If some people are getting in, it probably depends where they're located and how their ISP connects to the Internet.

I'm in North Wales

Libby

im in the Midlands, on talk talk , and IE...and locked out.

there seems little rhyme or reason , just have to wait till it sorts its self i think.

Am talking to one of the 'in crowd' - who are thin on the ground BTW - on MSN -

Who says they do know we are outhere ...and send their love!

I'm in Lowestoft, Suffolk and with BT.

Right - try this

Google : Family tree forum

Click on: cached pages

It will bring up another page with multicolured Google on it

right at the bottom, in tiny type there is a tiny weeny address - paste that into search box, and wait- ITS SLOW

see if that gets you in

Sorry - gets you as far as LOG IN then it falls over

Hi Minnie

Have just tried what you say and still cant get in,

HHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPPP

Chrissy very very confused

....if there is a techie at FTF, maybe they could address a post to this thread, just to put us out of our misery.

meanwhile, I shall avoid domestic chores, maintenance etc and read a book

Bob

I think it is something beyond FTF Bob, that is the problem - a server somewhere that some must connect to and not others - not a lot they can do i dont think

I live on the North East coast and I'm with Virgin.

Still locked out

Mau

Is there anyone who's on here AND ftf who could find out whats going on please and to let them know we are out here in the cold !!!!!!!


Sorry just saw the answer to the Question

getting more confused by the minute

...any one got a Florin for the meter?

Bob

Well, I Googled and GOT ON !! Trouble is when I tried to reply to a thread I got chucked off again. Was able to read the threads and they are saying it's not a problem with FTF.

How many of us are locked out, Does anyone know?

If it's something to do with a server somewhere, how is it that we can get in any other web page we choose? I assume that the rest of you, like me, aren't having any problems with any other site?

Quite a lot i think , Chrissie - they know we are, thing is its had to tell - who is trying to log in and wh isn't so I guess there is no telling how many really.

(ie helen the hedgehog maybe locked out, or may have just gone shopping today )

(BTW its members/mods/scads inclusive it seems- almost arbitory
