I have had a few problems the last couple of days. Thye have added more records in the last few days, so perhaps they are snowed under with people checking to see what has been added.

What a relief! I thought it was just me! I haven't been able to access freeBMD for three days and am getting desperate!

They seem to update on the Saturday nearest the end of the month and about a million records go on each time, so it's busy for the first week of each month.

When they've updated their records I can usually access the site - but don't have much success when searching. However, at the moment, I'm just getting a message saying the site is unavailable... Is there anyone from freeBMD reading this who can tell us what is happening? Please!
