« on: Monday 07 May 07 12:13 BST (UK) »

Hello all,

I was just wondering if anyone is having trouble using the Ancestry website at the moment?

I cannot seem get on it at all, it just keeps going to 'Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage'. Even when i use Google and click on it from there, it doesn't work.

Anyone else having this trouble or is it just my computer?

Could it be my computer then? Im not having any trouble accessing other sites, it just seems to be Ancestry that is being a pain for me.

Anyone know how i could fix this problem?

very probably your ISP. If you can access this site but not a specific one like Ancestry .... try www.ancestry.com ?

Yep, sounds about right to me. Im with NTL/Virgin and im in Notts! Thanks for that link. Glad its not just me having trouble. Im getting sick of the trouble with NTL, it seems none stop since Virgin took over.

Walter... I can access a few posts i have put on there in the past but nothing else at all, no BMD or census records. Its not good at all. Ive never had this much trouble with it and ive been using it for nearly two years now.
