Catherine, after the unusual shutdown your PC's OS will have checked for errors and attempted to repair them. Presumably in doing so it fixed the fault that was causing you to have to sign in each time.

The errors you got later seem typical for the period 0200-0600 UTC as others often report errors around then. Maybe GR/Brightsolid does maintenance then.

A couple of names to add to my tree, and some dates to add to existing people.

Open the site......... click on "use old tree" (I won't use the new one until the bugs have been iron out) and what did I see? ....... FOUR TIMES!

I will send a message to the "complaints" people, but I'll probably get the usual blah blah blah reply. The Error Log must be enormous.

I'll try to access my tree again..... I must be a glutton for punishment.

Power went off last night for a few seconds. Computer rebooted itself ofcourse. Now wondering why I didn't have to login to GR this morning? I've had to re-login (even though I rarely logout) for weeks.

Anyone else get this? A new experience for me. One I could do without.

AND today I send contact messages.......which do not appear in my Sent Messages. Lost in Cyber Space again.

I'll try to access that tree again...... but if I have to wait too long I'll give up - AGAIN!

Oh I do like a conspiracy theory. ;-) When I started last year with brightsolid and joined the Genes Reunited team, I had exactly the same thoughts, but I can assure you the two brands are not on a merger course.

The team certainly has the desire to make it one of the best genealogy sites available, and yes we do realise we have a long road ahead of us, but we're looking forward to the challenge.

Regarding the wrong records, please send any transcription errors to customer support. We will be releasing an on-line notification system soon.

And regarding your membership, as I understand it, as long as you keep renewing you keep the original package subscription price. So don't let the renewal slip!

That is EXACTLY what I have been thinking of as the "ulterior motive"

............ and presumably what the Competitions Board did not want to happen, as it does reduce the number of choices of English sites.


I do not believe that this site is anywhere near the best, nor adequate, for records etc. I've heard that you can't even get them to make changes in wrong records.


It is extremely valuable for the help on the Community Boards, and contacts made

......... and that is well worth the £10 per annum that I pay, although more recent members pay £20 (wonder when our sub will get increased????)


So I would hope that any merger would keep these boards and aspects.

Perhaps you missed the latest announcement at
http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards.page/board/announcements/thread/1287448

Personally, I think this site is far better than Ancestry, and yes we may have been critical on how long it has taken to sort out the many problems but there is light at the end of the tunnel

WELL !!!


I posted on the GR wall on FB yesterday, re all the problems and asking if GR was going to be doing anything


and I have just seen their response:-


Hi Scilly - I can absolutely understand your frustration and can only apologise. We have now halted all releases and the performance of the site is our main concern. We are hoping to have the issues totally rectified within the next 2 weeks. Unfortunately it is our members using the boards that are being most effected, mainly because you are on the site a lot and navigating from page to page experiencing more errors. Please please bear with us. We will write another technical update soon.

It doesn't really Lindsey because less than half an hour later it says:

That is a noticeable rate of growth (except for posts). :-)
