Hi David

Just trying to find someone on the Parish Records and message has come up saying 'surname must not be blank'. I tried several surnames but got the same message.

David,

Having the same "surname must not be blank" problem

OK I'm working on searching parish records problem

I had one report that they were having problems with the forum, anybody else having any problems with the forum?

Until I can work out what part of the search script is causing the problem you will have to use the Advanced Search facility which is working fine.

Located what was causing the problem with the Search Facilities and it has now been fixed.

finally back on - something was out of sync here - I tried many "local" things before a re-boot of my PC and Router :-)

Thanks Admin

What's happened to the Home Page?

Not had any problems viewing the Home Page that I am aware of.

Refresh your browser if you follow a link to the Home page and it does not show.

Let me know how you go on.

David,

Did as you suggested and refreshed my browser.

When I go to the Home Page I do not have the options along the top(under The Forest of Dean Family History).

I would normally go to the Forum from the top options. I am only able to get to the Forum via the Latest Message Board Postings.

Paul.

There was a problem with the Home page which I fixed soon after I received your message describing the details of what was going wrong. I did not advise you that it had been rectified at the time as I wanted to re-check it today to make sure everything was still OK.
