Sorry Carmela but I don't know what else to suggest.  I'm not that technical either but there are some people on here who are so I would hope that you might get another tip or two later.

Best wishes

Hiya,

Like I said before,

The technical reason why we "expire" (or don't keep) search results is because it takes up a lot of RootsChat memory to save the results of every search I'm afraid - and if there is a lot of searching going on it can make things slower for everybody.  Undecided   If we could afford a more powerful server, then we could do it.   ;)

The only real way round it is to "Open In New Window" by  Right-Clicking on each link in the search result.


If you'd like to donate to RootsChat using the donate button, then we'd be able to afford to keep everybody's search results for some time.  ;)

I thought Carmela and I were talking about freebmd and IGI not returning to search page.  This shouldn't be happening and I know there is a solution but not sure what it is.  I am aware that clearing the history etc. sometimes solves the problem but there must be a reason why it is happeing to her and I'm sure there are people out there who know how to sort it.
