Iv'e just checked it, and, surprise, surprise, no problem :shock:

First, try typing in the www address in your browser insted of clicking on it in a list of favourites.

If that doesn't work try the numeric address 204.9.225.200.

=D> Thanks thanks and more thanks. The numeric address did it. I'd tried various links the past few days, but nothing. First of all thought it was just 'update time' so wasn't too bothered, then checked with a pal this morning and he didn't have any problem, so I started to get a titchy bit worried. :roll: All is well now :D

Hi David, I saved the new address to my favourites and it works fine. (the old address in my favs is still not working , so will now delete).

In between posts , heard I had been presented with a brand spanking new grandson (first grandchild). A whole new generation for my tree :lol:

I'll introduce him to his family first chance I get.

Congratulations, IanS. :D

What fun you're going to have sharing your research with him.

But perhaps you'd better wait till next year to sign him on as a TS member! :wink:

Best wishes to baby and his parents.
