	I'm using Firefox and had accessed the site from three different PCs in the last week and had no error messages whatsoever. The only problem I am having is that I am unable to upload any photos whatsoever to any profile on either the new or old tree. So I'm not sure what is going on, I don't other people are having probelms with photo uploading? As long as Genes keep the old tree available I'll be happy, I hate the new one with a passion.

	Really does not matter to you what systems I am using. But as you have asked - Windows XP and IE8 but this should not be a problem. They work on all other sites such as Ancestry, FMP, Scotlandspeople, FreeBMD etc etc etc If you have not been getting any of the error messages then you are lucky. Some of the following that have produced an error message - Search on a board My Threads Clicking on board clicking on a thread hit submit button to post a reply on a thread Getting stuck on the error message

Member Since: June 2005 Posts: 2,776 Send Message	Thanks PeeEmm :-) I tried to load a few, but they were "wrong format"........ the Lion Rampant will be there until I find something else. I was fed up looking like a blobby bloke. Someone said they needed sunglasses to look at it. Sunglasses in Scotland? I prefer the weather in Australia :-D

Member Since: June 2005 Posts: 2,776 Send Message	IGP - At last GR admitting it isn't the fault of all of us!! Maybe somebody at GR finally read some of the message boards (I suggested it to them a few times). I hope they realise only a fraction of GR members look at the boards and post on them. How many members are sitting in front of their computers, cursing?! How many are totally fed up and won't return? I know there isn't a limit to the number of contacts, or the size of a tree, I also know it isn't my fault. Why did the GR reply state that as an "excuse" ? I'm waiting for the site to shut down for at least a week while they stick more glue and bandages on it............ then wait for it to fall apart again. :-D

Member Since: March 2003 Posts: 7,123 Send Message	Scozzie, It isn't your fault nor is there a 'limit' on the number of records a member can have. However, as I have been saying for weeks now, the problem is as GR has now finally acknowledged in their reply to you. The database has grown too such a size that the system can no longer manage the volumes of data that have to be processed for certain member profiles efficiently, and so it times out. Unfortunately there is nothing more we as members can do, nor is it suddenly going to fix itself as if by magic overnight. The ball in in GR's court now to get on and fix it.
