You can always come back to ask ( all / any ) Rootschatters for help . . . . . :)

Should you want "moi",  ( when I don't spot your post ), just "pm" me.

If it's just the one site, it's more likely to be a fault with that site than with your computer.

I have quite a few problems trying to access FindMyPast from the iPad.  It's the first version and is unable to be upgraded with software changes.  I have to repeatedly sign back in.  A record will come up on a search and when I click on it it makes me sign in again.  Very irritating.

Now that they've changed the way results are presented for BDMs I can't even read the results page, so I'm not considering it to be an improvement at all.

It would be good if it upgrades worked on all operating systems.

[ amended ]

May be the only site that the OP is using with the attributes causing restrictions.

Should Firefox (example) be running Ghostery ( for example ), individual websites can be "blocked/restricted/limitted)" based upon what adcrapaddons the site is addicted to.

The "OP" (hurworth) may not have connected to a site with similar adcrapaddons.
