Member Since: March 2003 Posts: 7,177 Send Message	This isn't a problem with My Threads in particular, but is an issue affecting the entire site because of the sheer amount of data it now has to handle. In particular, it relates to the amount of data that is connected or related to an action you are trying to do. So if you have a large tree, or have many thread postings, then you are likely to get a timeout error whenever you try to access or sort your attached records. Once GR get to grips with this then My threads, Surname Summary, etc etc will work properly. Yes, this is a big problem and needs sorting.

Member Since: March 2003 Posts: 7,177 Send Message	My Threads worked for me ok today but Surname Summary is an absolute disaster, throwing error messages every time I try to move from page to page or perform a sort. For me and those who are trying to research their tree this is far more important the issues with My Threads.

	Actually the help given by members on the boards is a very small part of the site's function. It you check the site activity on the home page you find that messages sent are two or three times more numerous than board postings (the majority of which are chat and games postings). New people added to trees are around ten times more numerous than messageboard posts. It is fairly clear that this My Threads problem only affects those who have a large number of posts so it is quite a basic problem with the system and fixing it will benefit only a few members. I suspect that the discussion items on the home page which has resulted in a lot of old threads being reactivated has had the effect of increasing the sort time associated with My Threads leading to more timeouts and consequent error messages.
