Problems with libindx
« on: Saturday 06 April 19 14:13 BST (UK) »
Anyone else having problems searching this site?

I’ve used it successfully in the past and I am now wondering what, if anything, I am doing wrong.

Hi ,

Not sure exactly what your problem is but one thing I've noticed is if you click on the main link it works , but doesn't work if you click on the link underneath.

I can get on the site no problem, I can enter details in the search screen but when I try to search...it returns to home screen.

I press search records and have also tried pressing return but still it reverts to home screen. It must be me....

This is the link that works for me -
http://libindx.moray.gov.uk/mainmenu.asp

I click on "People Search" , then enter the information required for the search , then go to the Options box and click on "Search Records".

I seem to remember that others have had problems in the past when trying to search Libindx.

I just tried it out and it behaved quite normally.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.
