Remove the pathetic censorship rules for posting messages (see the thread "Why do we have to remove the parentheses??"). These seem to try to stop us (paying punters) from posting URLs or E-mail addresses. For information the rules seem to be: 1) if (co) or (com) without () appears in the middle of any sequence or "dot"(co)... or "dot"(com) appears at the end of a sequence then remove it, along with anything following contiguously until the next space; 2) if y a h o o or h o t m a i l appears without spaces remove it! 3) if the word "dot" appears (without quotation marks or similar) in the middle of a sequence then remove it; 4) if a commercial at sign appears at all: remove it and anything contiguously joined with it; 5) if anything looking like an E-mail address appears (with dots or at-signs) remove it; 6) if you can make a message less readable by randomly removing spaces, paragraphs, carriage returns, line feeds, tabs, or full stops: then do so.

GR should have someone to reply to questions. I've sent in questions to the "Feedback: to contact our Support Team for a personal response to your question click here" form and received nothing... While they are at it they could do a lot worse than read through this thread which seems to outline a number of issues which they could solve fairly easily.

What a good idea maybe if we all send in these sugestions it might help to get something done. As you say all we realy want are the names relevent to our trees. Sorry for the porr spelling never was my strong point
