Internet Explorer 9 will not work with your XP Operating System, only with Vista or Windows 7. IE10, when available will only work with Windows 7.

You can't upgrade further than IE8 on XP, I'm afraid.

However Firefox has no such problem and the latest version (I have FF16) works quite happily on XP - in fact this is what I am using now as I type this message.

I don't seem to be able to upgrade to IE9 while using XP.

I have treid to.

I have IE8

KenSE How do you find "My Updates"? To be honest, I have seen absolutely nothing that suggests to me site traffic has not almost ground to a stop. Have had one post this last week about a possible contact.

With a 23,000 + tree, have had about 4 or 5 a week at least pre-fiasco. In last 7 weeks 4 in total.

I said some weeks ago that Genes were off for the duration of teh Parliamentary recess. Suspect that is true, apart from Estelle putting on the occasional post from her holiday home. Otherwise, nothing worthwhile since 2nd Aug - and that was the most unrealistic announcement I have ever seen. Compares with "the NHS is safe in our hands"

John, I think that the lack of suggestion posts is more to do with it being a very nice day and us having been warned that it is the end of Summer for this year.

I reckon Estelle and co still need another week to read through all the suggestions and come up with a plan of action.

I have notice from looking at My Updates that my contacts have doing many more tree updates this week than last week.

The thing is Susan, if your favourite for GR has become set as the sign-in page then you will always have to sign in. Try setting anotheer GR page a your favourite and enter through that.

If you upgrade to IE9, which is simple and free to do, you should be able to use your icons (unless you use the au site) and avoid using Compatibility View.

I am running IE8 and I always go through my Fav's.

I also have to re- enter into my compatability in tools everytime I want my icons back.

I know it maybe something wrong that I am doing myself but it never used to happen like this.

With all its downfalls I want the old site back PLEASE GENES :-(

Have you noticed on the whole of the Suggestions Board today (15th Sept) there have been only 3 posts - from Susan, KenSE et moi.

I think we are all getting a bit fed up of the lack of any sort of Announcement from Genes about what they intend to do. Even an announcemnt that we all love the new tree and are all busy building up our trees would be better than weeks of ........SILENCE

Susan, how do you enter GR?

If you have IE9 and you enter via one of the icons to "My Most Popular Sites" it may always take you to the sign-in page.

If that is the case then, after you have signed in, go to your favourite board and set that as your favourite. Then enter via the favourite and not via the most popular site method.

I have to log in every time I go to Genes , never used to my computer always remembered me

Is not remembering me for some reason now...any one any idea why.
