Support board I did email you last evening! (see second message) I think it is natural that we should establish whether we are the only one to be having problems before notifying you and the tips board is an obvious way to do it? For everyone I have now deleted my tempory internet files and all is OK again - may be coincidence though Sylvie

Dear Members, We are not aware of any performance issues last night or this morning (our technical logs show nothing unusual) but we will keep an eye on it throughout the day. ## Please could we again politely ask that any questions that you have regarding the website or your membership are sent directly to the GenesConnected Support Team through the Help area of the website rather than being posted here - these Message Boards are intended for you, our members to use and, although we do read the boards from time to time, we are a very small team at GenesConnected and we may well miss certain postings on here - you can also be guaranteed of a quick personal response if you email our support team directly ##

Seems to be slow most of the time today. I think we should email GC. They might not be aware of the poor site performance. There servers could be getting clogged up if they're emailing newsletters or running backups. Crista

My language has gone from bad to worse to completely unprintable with all sites I have tried to access since Tuesday I am sick of watching the triangle go round and round and then nothing. Glad I'm not alone. Gen

Same here, i couldn't get on through favourites or through any searches, kept coming up unavailable, finally made it by sending a genes surname update into my hotmail account where i just clicked onto it from there, complicated or what, it took me an hour and a half.
