I get the "error message" every time I come onto Genes. Usually takes two or three attempts before I get on.

Have tried contacting support but they just say "empty your cookies" or "try another browser" but they will not admit that it must be down to them when loads of people have the same problem.

Personally I think it's down to the fact that the site needs some money throwing at it but that is never going to happen!!

Do you mean you never get thrown out while on here and you never can't get on here first time you try? Wow. Your face must fit!

Same for me Ann for months now, usually get in through either the logo or the support link on error page.

Still constantly happening to me too
I just try to change boards and hey ho the circle just rings around and timed out

As a matter of fact am posting this after being timed out again trying to get from find ancestors to this board

And I am on my iPad too

Happens all the time whether on laptop or pc or iPad and it's different setups on all of them
I.e. Windows XP. Windows' 10 and Apple

AnninGlos, I have no trouble getting on, but when I post on some of the Game Boards I get the dreaded error message.

I'm assuming that this is due to timing out!

However sometimes my post does go on but only after an interval of time longer than that occurs with the error message :-S

I did say some months ago when there was a spate of rr'd messages for quite innocuous things that I had come to the conclusion that GR staff were behind it to make people so fed up that they would leave the site; then when enough people had gone they (staff) could use falling membership numbers as an excuse to close down the site :-D :-D

I consider my error messages in the same light ;-)

a matter of course these days that nine times out of ten you cannot get onto Genes first (maybe second or third) time so have to go through the Home page. does anyone ever read their home page? Is that what they want us to do? :-S
