  • Anybody having trouble with Genes Reunited tonight?

    I keep getting "Server is too busy". Is it just me?

    Hi KiteRunner - yes I have had server busy now and again today but even more annoying is that I can't get into Scotlands people. I can get to the 1st page but when I try to get to the page to sign in then all I get is " under construction".
    Sorry - going off topic here but most frustrating - unless new data is being added - in which case good news and I will be very happy.

      That's interesting, Herky, because there have been problems with findmypast today as well, and they belong to the same company as Scotland's People. I wonder if the two sites are being joined together? That would be exciting!

          I was on genesreunited earlier at around 9pm and it was fine. I've just gone back on and it's still fine. I'm just browsing my tree through.

              Yes, I've had that too. I never know what the point of that message is, though.

                Thanks for reply Kite.
                I just ignore it and carry on to the site to view said record. Like you say there doesn't seem to be any point in the message.

                  For secure websites, such as shopping, banks, etc., the Certificate has two functions.

                  1st is to prove the identity of the site and 2nd, more important one, is to store one half of the encryption keys used to encrypt data before it is sent, therefore making it secure.

                  Certificates are purchased for a certain number of years at a time, and must be renewed. This just adds more security. If it has expired it usually means they haven't got round to renewing it (bit lax!) but it doesn't make the site any less secure.

                      The GRO had red faces recently when their certificate expired and people couldn't order certs on line!

                        Hi all
                        I've been having trouble since the new system started in that when I click on a name on a tree, then click on "Ancestors" or "Descendants" to bring up the family lines, I get that ok, but where it shows on the left of the screen the arrows to move the family tree around & "print", when I click on print, the new screen appears on which you chose the bits of the tree you want to print, but it's too low to see the actual "print" box & won't move up. I've contacted them but got no reply & I know it's not your problem, but I wondered if anyone else had experienced this.

                        Hope everyone has a great Christmas & Peace, Love & Joy in the New Year
