Hi LIR.

Which thread, where. Did you get missed in all the kerfuffle. There are lots of deleted posts on this thread, these were the duplicates which happened while GR was throwing it's hissy fit.

Let us know where your post is. I really don't think anyone should have to go to Coventry unless they have a very good reason for wanting to go there!! Althought I know nothing about the place, exactly where it is or even what people do when they get there!!!

I was wondering if I'd been sent to Coventry for some reason as no response to my thread

Hi Jean, I did as I said. No way of knowing if they actually read the information.

Gues what I received back.

"Dear AuntySherlock

Thank you for your email.

I am currently unable to replicate this problem, however I will keep trying. Should this problem occur again, I will then report this to our technical team.


Best regards,


Laura
Genes Reunited Support Team"


Not, "thank you for sending us the posts discussing the slowness of the GR boards on 10 Mar 10". Just their standard "unable to" message.

I can picture them sitting there with a list of responses A-Z. Now which response fits this scenario. Let me see:

A - OMG every member has cancelled their subscription. The team needs to respond immediately with positive thoughts and warm fuzzies.

to

Z- some dimwit doesn't like the colour of the screen. Delete query!!


I think the technical problems must fall somewhere around LMN. By the time they are awake and aware of what is happening the system has either righted itself or someone has pushed the plug back in.

Waste of time, waste of time!!

I complained to GR, only to get the message that they couldnt reproduce the problem, could I be more informative. Please, others do the same.

Well folks get ready the footy is over at last and funny enough normal duties are resumed !!

Interesting! This site has been on a go-slow for me too.

I have a friend who works with the police on computers and he has just examined my laptop remotely from his system. Apparently my ISP speed is .2 which is ridiculous. So what with that AND Genes playing silly beggars....I am .....cross....cross...cross.

Will be phoning my ISP providers tomorrow to complain and threaten to remove myself from their company unless they can improve....and quickly.....!


There, feel better for that! Cx.

Sarah Report 10 Mar 2010 21:26

yep I think so I might be thinking of a third or fourth course ! when the footy ends I think we will be able to resume normal duties , but at the moment I give up
Thank-you genes to all the woman who hate footy who are bored and want to get on with something more interesting, forget it you might as well have an early night.

And it is repeating the posts and the new topics. I have sent GR a message letting them know things are not up to our collective expectations.


It took me nearly three minutes to change pages.

I wonder what enhancements they are installing.

I did suggest a new games board. And I can say that and laugh and run away because by the time it takes you lot to reply I will be gooooooooooooooooooone. Toodelooo.
