I can't get onto the za site either.

MMMM a mystery.. says may not exist!! er yes it does..was only on it an hour ago, flipping 'eck UK flashing ads it is then...

Yes having the same problem,cant get in to the ZA site i thought it was me,flashing ads a nightmare.

George

ZA is fine here

must be Lincoln area then cos I can't get it even through google.
:((

I think you might need to have a clear out

It was working hour and half ago.. went tomake a drink and when I came back couldn't get it..

I used to use the Za site, until one day I signed in & it bounced me to the Uk site to log in. Happened every time after that so I gave up.

EDIT

Just tried again & it worked, so will use this site now (ZA)

Can i ask, does everyone one on this thread sign out
when your finished with GR ..

i dont sign out cos i always forget
so when i go to my favs i just click on GR and up it comes

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.

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

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

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...

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

Thankyou for your replies everyone...

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. ;)

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.

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))

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
