Just in case anyone's missed the e-mail, SP will be down from 11.59 pm,  7th September for 'essential planned work'. They expect to be back in service on Monday, 12th.

Thanks Gadget.

I have just had the email in and was going to post it but you have beaten me.

Wonder if there will be any changes  :)

Hope not too many, Dorrie. I've been away from genealogy for a while and am still getting up to speed on the various sites again.

Someone on here will know what they are up to, I expect. I did hear that either they or FindMyPast were changing ownership.

I suspect its got something to do with this - http://britishgenes.blogspot.co.uk/2015/10/scotlandspeople-contract-awarded-to-caci.html.  I gather Brightsolid didn't bid for the new contract.

I was booked into the SP centre at the Mitchell Library today and their server crashed for the third time in a week.
It was a wasted journey even although they expected it to be up an running in a couple of hours.
If they can't provide a full day of research, they have close for the whole day because there is no allowance for a part day or a part payment?. Grrrr
