Hi All Again lol Is it just me or are the members of Friends getting all the benifits, while our site droppes to bits round our ears? You would think Friends and Genes were owned by two different companys. Steve |

Liz just look at the home page and you can tell the diff between this site and FR but Your Profile page with photos your private mail box is 10 times better that this one you can send ecards to each other plus other stuff, it looks better its not braking apart at the seams Sxx |

I agree Steve, I am a member of both and can't see why I get more facilities on the one I am more likely to use less. I am on this one more as hunting down rellies is far more involved. I send the odd e-mail on that one when a new name comes up, which is rare now and when its birthday but other than that I don't use it so all the facilities are wasted on me. This site on the other hand is a massive pain in the neck with everything going wrong, not being able to add to threads etc. You can't send an e-card which would be nice on birthdays etc. |

No don't you call me a Kidney !!!!!! The last time i was on FR there has been no more people from my year. Maybe they have all fallen off their perches. And another thing when they send me e-mails telling me that new people have joined, i look and all there is are updates not new people. F ann y |
