I have wondered the same thing, Annette. I have just checked my details and the box opting out of e mail announcements is unticked. (Actually when I think about it I don't think I have had any communications from SP for a long time except when I buy credits!).

Sorry Annie, didn't word that very well did I  :'( :'(  posted it in a hurry as we were going out at 6.00 and I was in a rush.

Come to think about it Annette and William I had not had an email from them for ages either but I had sent them an email the other day querying what would happen to credits left and saved images and was assured that they would be ok when they were up and running again. Perhaps that prompted them to send me the email today.

Looks  like it has been shelved for a bit.

I had an email, today or yesterday,  but deleted it without reading it.

There have only been a few over the past months.

Annette

I got the email at 17.20 yesterday evening, but I'm a very irregular user. I registered with SP some years ago but have only bought credits on two occasions when looking for two specific people who married in to my main family line.

Dorset / Hants: Derham, Stride, Purkiss, Sibley
Yorkshire: Pottage, Carr, Blackburn, Depledge

Lanark: Scott (soldier went to Jersey CI)
Jersey: Fowler, Huelin, Scott

Just to add that I received the e-mail at 17.26 (sent at 17.18).

Ev has put up a notice on the other thread:

I didn't receive the original email nor the one for yesterday and I'm not set to opt out of announcements either. :-\  I'm also an intermittent user of the site.
