I'm still having trouble with FreeBMD - it keeps saying "This page cannot be displayed etc etc Cannot find server." Then some time later it'll be working again. Is anyone else having this problem or is it my computer? Not needing it at mo but it's frustrating to keep finding it down when I want to look something up, either for me or in response to a posting here. Sue

This does happen fairly frequently, mainly when they are particularly busy. If it happens to me I click the Back button, click Search again, and 9 times out of 10 I get through the second time. Just keep on keeping on. Jan.

Jan, It's not the "server busy" page I keep getting - I can't even get to click search! It's that standard screen you get from Internet Explorer when a site is down. It's been down again for about 15 mins and I keep trying but no luck. Sue

Actually if any of you can get on to FreeBMD can you give me the email address to contact them so I can ask them about it? Sue

Thats strange, because I've been using Free BMD over the last half an hour without problems. Perhaps the fault is your server rather than theirs. Jan.

Yeah it's weird. It's just come back on so I've managed to email them, but I'm getting on other sites like familysearch OK so dunno what the prob might be. Don't know very much about the workings of the net! Sue

I have been having a lot of problems with it,either not being able to get onto the site,or it telling me there are no matches when there have been before,and today it's completing a search,and showing the graph,but there is nothing underneath it!
