Dear members, We will be carrying out an upgrade of the message boards today. Unfortunately this means that we need to turn off the boards for a few hours. During this time you will not be able to access or add to posts. Thank you in advance for your patience. We will endeavor to keep down-time of the message boards to a minimum. Also all members will now see the ‘new look’ Genes Reunited when they come to the website. If you find the size of the text is too small or too large please see the Help Centre at the top of the site and search for ‘text too small’ or ‘text too large’. Genes Reunited |

What has happened to this website. I've been away for a couple of weeks and its all changed and I don't like it. Why is there a counter telling you that how many of 5000 characters you have left to use? |

They've changed my name to my maiden name! I haven't been a Turnbull for 43 years. Now the friends that I've made on the boards don't know that it's me! |

I wouldn't call this an upgrade because key functionality has been lost. |

Why are you using Maiden names? Confusing to people wanting help. |

Don't like this. It's all spread out. Please tell me this is just a 'test'. |

I see the counter is already in place - so GR are taking note and acting where possible - hooray! |

Viewing old threads - can we have some FAQ guidance on this? It seems that it has been partially replaced by the search function (but I can't get this to work) and partially by bookmarks - ditto. |

Ahh, so the "bookmark" option only appears when we are on a thread - I do now have one. |

I also had trouble getting the advance search option to work looking for old threads. I tried using my maiden name, married name and also my nickname without success but then when I tried to log in to my account I found using my log in name worked and brought up all the old threads. I just have to remember to use that in future unless I feel like bookmarking every thread separately :( Try logging into your account section and see what that is and try using that if it is different to what you thought it might be. |

Many thanks, Loz, I see now see "my threads" - had to type in "Ivy ." (without the "'s) to get them. |
