Anyone else keep getting this when trying to add posts? Why can't they keep the site going properly there always seems to be problems.

I haven't had that message but I keep getting 'page unavailable' also like Havoc posts disappear, in the end I tried clicking on back and my message was still there, clicked again and it went. It's awfully slow as well, I'm fed up with it already today.

Ann,

I think they have had a few gremlins in the system for a few days now. Most annoying.

I have contacted support to see if I can get a response about it.. Could do with others also contacting them

I have had this reply from support!!!!!!

The site has been experiencing exceptional levels of traffic over the last few days which is why you might have found the site slow but I can confirm we haven't received any other reports of problems with the boards..

Ha ha.

Well, they got three from me last night. And that was just for the times when I got involuntarily signed out of the site.

I'm usually not affected by the problems I read about here for some reason, but last night (while you all were sleeping -- yes, that would have been an exceptionally high traffic period, that would, all those Aussies having genealogy fits) it was horrific.


It would probably be wise if we all did send reports / complaints every time this stupid site, from which they rake in millions, plays its tricks. It's easy:

I wish more people would complain then I wouldn't feel like a lone voice in the wilderness. Glad you contacted them Jayney.

I couldn't work out why I couldn't submit replies. Then I realised it had logged me out completely and wanted me to sign in.

JaneyCanuck Report 24 Aug 2009 15:03

Yup, that's what it did to me. Four times in one hour - between 11:30 p.m. and 12:30 a.m. my time, i.e. 5 a.m. yours. Really heavy traffic times.

It did have the courtesy to thank me for visiting, though.

I closed down earlier, I'd had enough, I clicked to open a thread and it took ages, in the end up came a message, saying I am now logged off, and thank you for visiting FRIENDS REUNITED !!! I have never even looked at Friends Reunited all the time I have been a member. When I looked at the top, yes I was in Friends. It must be the new owners messing about with it, it's just getting worse.
Bye the way a message has been sent Ann.

Caz

Well blow me down, I clicked to send above, it came up 'page unavailable' so I clicked on refresh. Next thing was it had logged me out and when I re-connected I was in Friends again. I clicked on green back button and my message was still here in reply box. This is beyond a joke now.

I don't understand why their reaction is always that there is nothing wrong with the site. Why can't they say that there are problems and theya re trying to fix them? We all know that computers and anything to do with them have glitches. It is the constant denial that annoys me.

AnninGlos

AnninGlos Report 24 Aug 2009 17:06

It seems to be getting worse rather than better now. Surely it isn't only us who are getting the problem?

I am furious now, I wrote another letter to them and didn't hold back because I am so annoyed, clicked to submit and it vanished, poof, gone, into thin air. Going to prepare veg then I might have another go.

*glumly* well.... I spent a fortune on new batteries today cos I thought it might have been the mouse and keyboard.... but nope, it is a real pain.... the reply box has got St Vita's dance, (or ants in it's pants, lol) the transfer from one page to another is sooooooo slow.... then I, too, am being logged out....... I'll send a note off now, Ann.... let's see if they tell me they haven't had anyone else complain!!

Love

I have got to the stage now where I copy everything before I try to send it. Trouble is it is OK for a while, then goes doolally again. Might go off now and get dinner, watch the soaps etc and hope it is better after 9pm.
