General Chat

I have just logged in from my favourites and couldnt get in either and I never log out .had to come through UK which I hate cos of the adverts I have ad blocker but it doesnt work on here.

I never sign out. The za is in my favourites but it did not work again this morning so had to delete za and put uk in. How silly.

Sorry i had logged off

Tried this morning and got this Oops! Google Chrome could not find www.genesreunited.co.za

Hey , I think they read my reply to this thread. Just lost contact and back came .co.uk instead of co.za. cheated though the za is in mi favourites so came back via that. Elaine.

Been on Za all day, every day and I never sign out.. don't even remember it's there to do so.
Don't have any probs with hubby's laptop either only difference is I get into the home page first, never sign off there either !
Good luck to those having probs:)

I still can't get on za.

My message is "oops. The link appears to be broken". DNS error has ocurred ( whatever that is ). Server can not be found

I'm on it now so ok here. Elaine.

za wouldn't let me in :-(

Came in through the uk which I hadn't done for ages.

ok, back to uk site, cant get in ZA site LOL !

Julie ,did you get FORBIDDEN ACCESS like I did?.I still can't get on throughZA

AAAARRRGGGHHHHHHHH

i've been cursed, i can't get on through ZA

Well I was just told FORBIDDEN ACCESS to GR.I am Firefox.Have had to google GR to get on.There must be a little gremlin at work somewhere lol

I dont normally sign out, but one day when I did a clean up of files & cookies I had to sign back in...then the trouble started.

Quite happy being back on the ZA site now :o))

I have firefox and adblock and have not been able to access Genes all day, I was on ZA. now on .com which seeems fine but still can't access via ZA.

Firefox and Adblock -- don't leave home without them!

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865/

If you're not using Firefox you can download and install it quickly and easily and give it a try, and then add Adblock, also quick and easy.

Adblock automatically eliminates advertisements from most of the usual suspects, like doubleclick and wunderloop (the source of a lot here -- I can still see Firefox loading them, I just can't see *them*).

But you can also use Adblock to eliminate any advertisements -- and any graphics and pictures you don't want -- that escape its built-in filters, with two easy clicks.

For instance, I block all the loud ugly buttons with links to FriendReunited etc. at the top of GR pages, the Ancestry ads on FreeBMD, all the graphics at Ancestry, and so on. All of that junk just clutters up my monitor and takes up space and makes me scroll more.

Once you've tried it you'll smack your head and wonder how you ever lived without it. ;)

Wahay it's back!!! must have been a glitch somewhere along the line eh?

Thankyou for your replies everyone...

Hi Hazel, No I don't sign out either and usually up it comes no probs..I was on it then it was gone.........lol

Janey sorry don't have a clue what adblock is???

I can, do my tree, go on ancestry and do shopping, go on FB occasionally and I can now scan photo's and add them but thats about it for my computer literacy...

I don't log out either

But i have noticed when i come on here through google chrome
Now i really don't know how to explain this lol

When you start up chrome you get pictures of the sites you have been on, so if i have had a problem with one say GR is having maintenance & i go to click on the picture it won't let me in untill i have a clear out

Please if that don't make sense just tell me to be quiet lol

i use the za site and am on it now, BUT I dont log out so that may help

Don't forget to try .com.au and .co.nz (I think that's how they go).

But for maximum benefit, use Firefox with Adblock!!!

No flashing ads here or anywhere (like Ancestry, last time I dared to look w/o Adblock).

I also recommend NoScript, although that takes a bit of tweaking to get it right for each site.

Definitely, definitely Adblock, though.


Also Julie has a point -- try deleting GR cookies.
