Can't add more names to SIT
« on: Sunday 10 August 08 00:53 UTC (UK) »
Keep getting this message:

Database Error, Surname Interest: MCBAIN was not edited in the Database

It is 1:30 BST, so possibly the database servers are undergoing maintenance.

If not, what am I doing wrong?  I have only the 5 most recent of my surnames for UK & Scotland entered and had some time to update today.

Hi Nick, there has been the odd little problem with the SIT in the past - I think Berlin Bob is the man to talk to.  Wink

Hi Nick,

I've just checked, there is no MCBAIN under your names. 

Were you trying to edit an existing record, or trying to add a record ??

Hi - trying to add new ones.  Followed directions for adding several times, with different new names, and the message above kept appearing.  Will try again now.

OK, it is working now and I am following the exact same procedure I followed several hours ago.

By the way, the description for adding entries on the right of that screen "click on [Add a Surname Interest]" does not match the actual button that you click on the left that says "Save the new surname interest".

It is 2 am on the US West Coast where I reside, so I probably won't be playing too much longer.

Cheers,

Nick

haven't changed anything, so I'm glad it's working now  Smiley
