	Chris ....... that would be very interesting to know! I haven't seen any names that were not on "old" GR but I do wonder if more is being spent on BS's original sites, such as fmp and Scotland's People. GR being the bottom of the totem pole ............. it is also interesting to note that GR's "sister" site, Friends Reunited, also has a lot of complaints on it. sylvia

	IGP - GR did say in facebook that posts from them would appear here so presumably you are directing me to one; it would differ from my plea above.

	I posted that on facebook on 14 October. GR assured me that the speed and efficiency of the site is something they are always striving to improve and it was hoped I would begin to notice improvements soon. The same day: Today using google chrome:- "No data received Unable to load the webpage because the server sent no data. Here are some suggestions: Reload this webpage later. Error 324 (net::ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE): The server closed the connection without sending any data." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The service from genes reunited over the last months, not just today, has been unacceptable.

	Please, Bright Solid, spend money on genes reunited to make it work efficiently; it is the slowest site that I know, and one can see various issues reported in the suggestions board. It would be pointless me sending an email to support or technical etc; I would be asked which browser I use and my response would be that I use internet explorer, firefox and chrome. One can see from the reported issues that the "bugs" in the site have been about for many months; it is frustrating, as I am sure you will appreciate. Thank you.
