We'll keep our fingers crossed that it's sorted out, Bob. I'm starting to feel like it could be my fault because I added so many names the other day before this happened but of course that's nonsense- isn't it?
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

Well, all those capital letters you put in obviously overloaded the computer, and it made them small, so it could cope.

Or not!  ;D

I merged markheal's topic with this, so it looks like Meles was a bit too fast with the praise.

I've corrected G (and I) by hand, but I still don't know why the crucial variable is sometimes upper-case (correct) and sometimes lower case (wrong).

Totally random, too ... tomorrow G will probably be OK but maybe another letter won't be  :'(  :-[  :o

Yes - there have been problems tht the moderators have been trying to fix. They've been working hard and I'm sure it'll be fine tomorrow.
