All of a sudden nothing is the same

I have just asked this on their page on facebook, asked them to clarify what has been done and to post in the announcements board about it.
Tips board, I have discovered, by looking at my threads, is now called genealogy chat which, in my opinion, is ludicrous. I have yet to find the records board. Back later.

Is this an improvement or another error on the boards?

Tips are under "Genealogy Chat" but I don't know where Records and Trying to Find have gone.

I really wish they would let members know BEFORE changing things. I don't know why people need to know how long you have been a member and how many posts you have made. It would be better to say when you last logged on - which I can't see anywhere.

Fed up with GR posting info about this site on Facebook !!!!

Getting error messages as well now

Why do they not post a message stating the site will be down for "improvements" at such and such a time

I give up for today - when attempting to post or to delete:

Error
Sorry. An error has occurred
We can't take you to the page you wanted. The problem has been logged and our team will be working on it.

Thanks for understanding. We're really sorry for any inconvenience!

I agree Glitter Baby. I would rather the site went down for a few hours while they sort things out properly - AFTER letting us know what they intend to do.

I'm really considering not renewing after all these years as I'm not actually doing any research of my own these days - but they make it harder and harder to help others!!

Perhaps they will take notice of the Suggestions Board ?

I think not somehow.

KathleenBell

KathleenBell Report 5 May 2011 12:25

Genes have now (after the event) put a message on the Announcements Board saying some strange things may happen in the next half hour or so!!
