Interesting.... I had notification for new Hot Matches through an e.mail today. Went direct (not through the link) to my Hot Matches and there was nothing new! Went back to the e.mail notification which gave three new names and clicked individualy on their links......Two no longer have their names as Hot Matches and the third is an existing contact! Given my names usually produce up to six pages of contacts and I haven't had my usual update (due Sunday before last)...Can I assume/presume Genes are in the process of improving the service??? LOL Chris

What I don't understand is why no-one has EVER sent ME a query about a hot match. I always do mine conscientiously ever since I had a really good one at the start of my membership. Haven't had much luck since, though. The funniest one I had was a match with my brother! We live in different countries and unknown to me, he had just put a small tree on the site. Unfortunately, although he got my email about the match he couldn't reply because he wasn't a paid-up member. That explains why some people don't respond at all.

Krissie Hate to burst your bubble but if you send a message to a non-member they can reply to you, it is the only way they can send messages, in other words they cannot make first contact Bren

Linda, you cant delete them altogether, only move names into 'ignored' this is the way it works.....!

Peter Thanks Laura I don't have a delete option - just discard match First time I had tried deleting (I hoard everything at home too!) as was trying to reduce size of hot matches. Linda

I am getting annoyed now WHERE ARE MY HOT MATCHES. I have not had any since 10th April and before that I was getting them every 14 days. I have had a couple of good contacts through hot matches. So please please can I have my hot matches. Christine

I got my Hot Matches yesterday and most were Jean Brown. Not the correct one, either. But the interesting one was someone with 40 matches, including my side, my husband's side and all my children. Don't know what happened there.
