	There were problems earlier this week when the site stopped working and produced error messages. I believe that some members were getting a very old message being displayed. BUT just got the error messages when clicked on My Threads.

	Elizabeth2469049 I'm sure you are right, I agree with the need to reduce the amount of baggage that is attached - I just wonder if Genes reads these notes and would consider changes? Peeemm :-(

	I gather the error messages are often caused by the huge size of the thread content. I know you can't cut down out the trees! but I am caught out by this mostly on the games and quiz threads, in particular the word game which has when I last looked 23,281 entries and the 5-letter scramble which has 8629. I can't think that any of the participants would mind in the least if you cut out huge chunks of the back entries - say leave it only with 500 or so of the recent entries! And I think the mass of entries dating back for years for all our My Threads must take up a vast amount of unnecessary space.

Member Since: April 2012 Posts: 194 Send Message	I've been back a couple of days now and one of the problems I keep encountering is an error message when I press submit. It's not on all posts but quite a high proportion. When I press back and my threads my post appears on the thread Also when I post and it does work the screen move up, very strange.

	More members than ever are having problems with error messages and other problems. One member can not access sent messages. I still can not delete any messages. Error messages seem to be back big style. So are the Team working currently to fix any of these problems.

	Hello ;-) InspectorGreenPen GlitterBaby SylviainCanada Joy Kentish Maid I would just like to thank you all for helping me to understand how you are giving other members the benefit of your collective experience. I would imagine that many - if not the majority - of the members that you help are totally unaware of your status (volunteers) So I will say "thank you" for the help you have given and will probably continue to give in the future. I have not used the Boards very often as I like to DIY and have collected most of my 'tree' content via Census Returns etc and through GR contacts who have been very generous by allowing me to 'share' their trees so that I now have quite a large extended tree and a lot more 'cousins' than I ever imagined was possible. (I now have the voice of Bob the Builder in my tree!!!!) Please keep up the good work - it is appreciated. PeeEmm <3
