This has been a problem before. I think it's an intermittent 'glitch' - one of many! - with the GR system.

Have you reported it to the GR team?

I also check in my contacts first before i reply back asking why they have let me view their tree, 8 out of 10 times they dont reply.

I've had them too.....and when I've asked the person why had they given permission for me to see their tree...they hadn't! Very odd.

I often check 'my contacts' to see if I have any contacts have access to me tree...when they shouldn't have.

Yes I get them too...I wonder if they are anything to do with hotmatches.

Yes, I've had quite a few. I usually reply with 'Why do you want to see my tree?' but nobody ever replies!

Hi all
I was just wondering if anyone else is having the same problem as me.
I keep getting permission to view peoples tree's that i have not at all been in contact with before.
I pm one person and asked why he had given me permission? He replied back saying several people had contacted him about this certain person in his tree and i was one of them so gave me access, i have never been in contact with this person so what is going on!!!!. Any one else in the same boat
Regards
Tracy
