	"a conflict set up with my computer & the site" - am thinking about the wording :-) Am so glad that they have agreed to give you a refund as they cannot sort out their issue. Try a free trial on ancestry and on find my past to see which you prefer.

	For what its worth, demand a full refund and go for FMP or Ancestry, GR do not own the records they only divert you to other sites. Take a free trial first.
	Researching: For better results please give all the details ,name, date place as you can {pictures by me }

	CelestialOooooLace. I'd try compatability view. I have had success on other sites using this. In fact I leave it in compatability view unless it tells me it causes a problem. This can be set in Tools. You have nothing to lose by giving it a try.

	I have noticed & only on the Genes site on my computer...In front of the green refresh arrows is a what looks a broken page button....Compatibility View...web sites designed for older browsers will often look better, and problems such as out of place menus,Images or text will be corrected..... would you think this has this anything to do with me not having been able to access any Records/Census's...on Genes... Thank you for your help...

	I don't buy their expression that it must be a problem from your end - too many people have been told to do as you were advised and the end result was that it definitely was a problem in the site and not in people's computers. If you look at the most recent announcement in the announcements board, one can read that there is a problem in the site. Please post on here or / and send a personal message to me letting me know how things are this evening or tomorrow, whichever you wish; or, if you are on facebook, you could post on genes reunited's page there, too.

	Hi Joy-Kentish Maid Thank you very much for your kind help in posting on facebook for me... The Support Team have contacted me & suggested again that I down load 1E8 & Its updates .which I did on the 24th March as they then suggested... But they do say It must be a problem from my end & to contact them again if I cant sort It...I had never had a problem before when I was a standard member...& so I dont know what else I can do.... Thank you once again for your help & time.
