I just went to Ancestry UK and there was no box to fill details in just a list of what section you want to search so I clicked on marriages and up came a list of which years I want to search with the option to click on one I am sure it wasnt like that last night .

I think it turns on and off to confuse us--it happened to me the other day when I was a bit boggl eyed and well confused me--didn't like it especially since I'm a creature of habit#11

I thought I was going mad it then asked which month and then which letter for the surname it seems a bit long winded

I had the same problem with Ancestry about two hours ago, but it's back to normal for me now. I think it's when they are adding stuff or 'tweeking' the site a bit. I also think the internet is playing up tonight, as we have 10 Mb broadband, but everything is running really slowly tonight. Kath. x

Finding site sooooo sloooowww tonight, that I am giving up and going to catch up on some sleep! The (.)com site still has the boxes, but is also slow. They must be doing some work on the site, suppose it has to be done some time.

That is so funny Babs I saw that heading but didnt read it as I thought I would cry, as I thought she was talking about a Pet. I do have NTL thanks

Christine Report 22 May 2006 23:13

I was - but temptation and curiosity for one more look-up got the better of me! Will have to give up soon - need to get up bit earlier tomorrow to get my head in books. (Note to myself - DON'T switch on computer!!) Yeah, right! Like that's going to happen!!

Christine I only come on here for a quick look and find myself switching from one board to the other and end up doing nothing

Val what kind of pet did you have in mind with a name like Google;;;; hehe Babs

Christine

Christine Report 22 May 2006 23:16

I know what you mean. I tend to stay on Records, but switch to Tips every now and then. Now understand why might be having problems with various sites - on NTL.

Lynne yes that's what I gathered wouldn't you think they would let you know;; It was only because I knew one of the names lived near me or else I would have been scanning and god knows what for another couple hours;; Babs
