Genes should not use the Friends Reunited site as a good example - it is a mess!!!

Which is the way it should be done of course.

Sandie, there won't be two GR sites. The beta is a sort of 'practice run' to iron out bugs and gather feedback before launching. It will then replace the current view.

One GR site is enough to 'cope' without a beta site.

They can't sort out the probs on here what is the point in having another ?

They have asked that people don't give out the link to avoid being swamped. I don't think it is those who gave feedback on the tree because I didn't. :-)

Spike wrote a book called Puckoon, Rose, maybe that's what you are thinking of.

It has a wonderful opening line that I can't put here.

It seems they are sending out the emails in batches so give it time :-)

If it is overloaded the cry will go up that 'it doesn't work' and I've already got a headache from stamping feet today ;-) :-D

Sandie and Emma, I think they are sending out a limited number at a time, so that they don't get swamped with feedback.....so maybe you will get yours next. :-D

Nice email just received from GR on my feedback, which I hope they won't mind me quoting

"if you look at the Friends Reunited site, you will see they have a similar logo – We have kept the capital T for consistency across the Reunited brands. "

Which is reasonable enough. :-D

The difference is it looks different :-D
