And I for one am very hopeful.

See my thread on TTF:

http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards.asp?wci=thread&tk=1245265

The emails I have received come from a @brightsolid .com address - brightsolid is the parent company of FindMyPast.

The one in question said:

"Thank you very much for your email – It is most helpful. I will endeavour to act upon as many of your suggestions as possible. It is a very good idea to show posting guidance when people want to ‘add topic’, we are very aware that there are a number of volunteer helpers on the site doing an amazing job and we want to make this as easy as possible for those helpers."

Now does that sound like anything anyone has ever heard from anyone at GR ever before?? ;)

I persisted. ;)

The email address I was writing to was

[email protected]

as directed in the "how to use" post pinned at the top of TTF.

That one may be worth a try now.

But I think the main thing is a new owner, a new attitude, hopefully!

I'm hoping maybe FMP will offer some sort of discount to GR members now. ;) Or vice versa.

My Ancestry sub is just about to come up for renewal, and I'm thinking of asking my new BFF on the GR team what they might like to offer to express their appreciation. ;)
