  • Why can't I search on GR?

    I have been trying to search the names on GR, to see if my rellies are in other trees, but I can't When I try, it just says my request can't be processed at the moment. This happened the last time I tried. Is this happening to anyone else or is it just me?

        Mine's the same. I can't search for names either.
        I read that it was something to do with the symbols in my name and GR had sent someone a message saying that because they had changed their server the searches wouldn't work with the symbols (I think that was the gist of it). I tried to delete the heart symbols I have round my name and I got a message saying that my name was not allowed! I was trying to use my real name and they won't let me :( GRRRRR

            Nope I changed my name so I don't have any symbols in it but still can't search. :( this is so annoying as I wanted to get someone to contact a lady for me, but I can't find her membership number for them to contact her. :(

                I'm having the same problem. I use IE7 and Firefox on Vista and XP. Haven't really bothered with GR for a long time now so it doesn't particularly concern me.

                    You should definitely all report it to GR if you haven't already so that they get an idea of how many people are affected by it. Then if you get one of those standard responses that doesn't really answer your question, send them another message.
