Oh Island, you know what my answer would be to that, but, it would be unprintable on here, and I would get a lifetimes ban LOLOL

Good morning :-) For those who are wondering, I deleted my 'inane ramblings' post myself. Nothing to do with the self-appointed moderator who's on here 24/7 ;-)

Yes but at least by making announcements on FB the message gets to some members - dammed if they do, dammed if they don't :-\
Wisechild, I've noticed that most of those who complain here about GR using FB actually have an FB account themselves. :-S

Morning Julia.
I've never seen you complaining about FB either :-D

Morning All
I don't belong to Facebook, either.

There are quite a number of GR members who don't belong to Facebook as has been mentioned forcefully on a number of occasions.

Thank you for that Island and Bob, I would never have worked that one out by myself ! I will give it a go. Is anyone else having trouble accessing their old tree or is it hit and miss like everything else at the moment ? M

How may times has anyone ever had to use a different wed address to access a web site that they subscribe to or had to go to FB to find what is happening on such sites

I have been a member on Ancestry and several other such sites for the last 7 years and never had to do any of this when they have a problem

it just shows how GR hold their membership in contempt once they have you registered on this site and it appears they are simply not bothered

za is GR South Africa. Scroll to the bottom of the page and you will see four flags. These are links to GR in those countries but it's all the same views.
Try one to see if it is better for you, if so, save that link and delete your others.

Wisechild
If we can't get into GR how would we know what's going on if they don't make announcements on FB?

I can still only get on through Google, not through my favourites tab and have lost my old tree. Can only get the dreaded new version. Have tried all the suggested turning off etc, still get the sorry page.

Fed up., too wet to get out in the garden and have to face the Supermarket if we are to eat for the rest of the week. Did someone mention bikkies ??? Or was it cookies ? I know I am being thick but what is za ? M

Why does all the GR info have to come through Facebook.
I pay my subs to GR.
If I log in from the home page & my log in is accepted I expect to be able to access all the boards, not just odd ones on a hit & miss basis.
Have been getting the essential maintenance message now since early yesterday afternoon, but it wouldn't appear that any maintenance is actually being done. It's just another version of the error message.
If GR are not to blame for the faults, could I ask who is?.......apart from the government who are to blame for everything.
