I got it earlier when I tried to go onto the Surname message boards.

[Guest]

Val,

I was getting it too, which browser do you use? I messaged Ancestry on FB and they gave me a solution which has worked.

[Darksecretz]

this is what you need to do...

scroll down until you see which OS you are using + Browser, [I am using Chrome] and fingers crossed....... [this has worked for me.]

There have been lots of complaints on their FB page today. Was certainly playing up for me earlier on.

[Guest]

I was using Chrome Julie , then I tried IE and its the same will look at your link thanks, thanks Elaine , am having probs on FMP too its taking ages to go to a record, think too many people are looking at the new criminal records.

[Guest]

just done that on google and IE now I have to put my passwords back in ,thats why I dont usually delete cookies ugh ugh ugh

[lennon2011]

Plus it took forever to download a new GEDCOM, think I'll head on over to the criminal records..

[Guest]

am having to put all my passwords in again and cannot find some so having to change them.

[Darksecretz]

I know its a P. I. T. A, but, at least now, I can view records, which is a damned site more than I could earlier!... lol

[Guest]

I have almost decided to have the same password for all sites would be easier.

[lennon2011]

I do that anyway Val, I've had it since I was in secondary school, it's a mix of numbers and letters and it serves me brilliantly with my memory.

For anything except the bank, I have one password if I have to register with my email address and another one if I have a user name. Saves trying to remember lots of them.

The only one that is a pain is Scotlandspeople, I haven't found out how to change the one they gave me.

Log in - click on MY DETAILS - scroll down towards bottom of page just under the heading APPLICATION OPTIONS.
You need to enter your current password, then the password you want (twice).

Had problems with A last night (Oz time), it eventually resolved itself or I got lucky. :o

re multiple passwords
Create yourself a little notepad document
In this type the name of the organisation, the ID and the password

This way, all you need to do is copy and paste the details if you forget them.

The important thing is NOT to use the same password for sensitive accounts, such as your bank etc.

[lennon2011]

It's only the internet that I use the same password.

[TrevorFranklin]

What I meant was one password for social sites, such as facebook
one password for Family tree sites etc

The reason is that social networking sites are all too easily hacked these days and I keep my passwords set for themed areas.
Another trick to remember passwords if a site wants you to make them complex, is use something that has numbers in it that is easily remembered, but hold down the shift button.
