Hello Linda, The system on Genes certainly has been a bit screwy ever since the last major update; I've had so many of these particular messages that I've lost count. To be honest, I thought that the system was randomly allowing access to people's trees without them knowing about it, and so I've removed most of my tree from Genes in case that happened to mine! However, if the messages are being generated as a result of people actually responding to requests to view their tree, even if they are randomly generated, then I shouldn't worry too much about invasion of their privacy. After all, it's up to them whether they grant you access or not. :-) Chris |

hi i received a automated message from another genes member giving me access to their tree. i hadnt asked for it so contacted the person and asked who they were etcc. they replied that they had got a request from myself for permission to view their tree. . that was not the case. the last contact i had with this person was in AUGUST 2005 i have contacted genes and asked what is going on and i am awaiting a reply. it is scary to think that i could have had access to someone elses tree. the member just gave me permission without asking why. i didnt look at it but what an intrusion into their privacy . anyone else had this happen to them linda |
