Ancestry warning message re: email address
« on: Monday 23 February 15 18:39 GMT (UK) »
Is anybody else seeing this error message on Ancestry?

Only happened today.   I am getting the following message when I input anything on any Ancestry search page.  It does not affect me using the site in any way

Hi CaroleW

I have had the message for at least 4 days. Have ignored it and not clicked. I did consider contacting Ancestry by phone, but have had a busy few days.

If it's still there tomorrow I will contact them.

Hi, back again, just checked there facebook page and they are aware of the problem and are trying to sort it out  ::)  Knowing how they are at times I wouldn't hold your breath.

Frank.

ADDED: Taken from the Facebook page:

"Hi ****, apologies for this error message. We are looking into it and are gathering information from our members. Could you private message us your email address to take a further look."

End of quote.



I would think it is up to individuals as to whether they message them.

That's great - thanks a lot.

I have made 4 attempts to ring them today but waited so long to speak to anybody that I gave up

Hi all, it seems they are telling people to clear the browsing history, cookies etc and reboot the laptops / computers and that should work, HOWEVER, one person did this the other day but the problem has happened again today.

Hi Frank

Clearing out etc doesn't work  ::)

I've just done a full clear out of my browsing history plus cookies which has removed all my logins/passwords

Logged into Ancestry - and lo and behold - message is still there so it can stay there until they fix it properly  ???

Cheers

I have had this message for days.  I emailed them - they said they were investigating and now I am ignoring it - I am still getting emails from them so ...........................   More irritating is the fact that they say I have hints when I haven't!
