	It would just be nice, I think, if apologies were posted in genes reunited's own site; another one posted in its wall in facebook today: "We want to apologise to anyone who had difficulty logging into the site over the weekend. If you are still experiencing issues when trying to log in please let us know by emailing [email protected] - We believe the issue was related to a timeout that was fixed yesterday. Again, apologies to anyone who could not log in due to this issue."

	I had better be a bit careful what I put now otherwise I will be getting a ban for swearing What is the problem with the GR Team that they can not do the decent thing and post on this site Fill in the blanks F or B And anything else that anyone cares to think !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I seldom swear but really this is no longer funny - it stinks

	Perhaps next time GR want the help of their members for an event like WDYTYA, they could ask their Facebook followers instead of GR members. After all, they seem to be given all the information from GR.

	From Facebook Genes Reunited Our new office is located in Shoreditch. Aptly, it is a building with history - It was once " The New Tabernacle Congregational Church, Old Street. Founded in 1832, it was called the 'new' Tabernacle church to distinguish it from the Methodist Tabernacle at nearby Moorfields, which had been founded in 1732. It was closed in 1950."

	Most other sites have a message that comes up almost immediately if you sign in has failed ....... ancestry, ftf, etc why cannot GR institute something like that?? it seems easy enough to my simple mind! and ti would keep the members happy. sylvia

	"Joy they had to post it on FB. There was no one here to read it. " - There were posters and readers over the weekend and today. It is appalling discourtesy.

	Posted in facebook only about 20 minutes ago, so will probably be posted in announcements here soon: Hi everyone, we are really sorry with the problems many of you are having logging in and using the site. Our technical team are looking into these problems this morning. Please bear with us - we hope to have this fixed as soon as we can.

	Phil has posted today on this thread http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards.page/board/suggestions/thread/1294060 But why we should have to search for the posts is beyond me

	Thank you, Maureen. However, the apology posted twice in facebook has not appeared in this site in announcements. Very disappointing.
Member Since: April 2004 Posts: 23,195 Send Message	Joy	Report	7 Mar 2012 14:59
	Competition results seem to be more important in the announcements board than apologies :(
