Hi I have taken your advice and I am writing this from a secure place with lots of bodyguards getting back to the topic I surpose that people will have done alot of research on there family so if they use the ERO's new pay per view site they will maybe only need a day to look at the records they need so the cost will not be great,the people it will affect will be those who just want to brouse the records still it's up to them,also when I have usd the ERO site for people I have not been able to capture the images using the latest IE  version suspect it is something microsoft have done,I have found using Goodle Chrome will help there,no point paying and not be able to archive the images on your computer.

I've had the same problem, it occurred after I upgraded to IE7, when using IE6 had no issues.  You can also email yourself a copy if you use something like Outlook on your PC.  This is my workround unless I use Opera which works OK.  I just select the email a copy option, which creates the email and then I save the file rather than emailing myself it.  You just have to remember to select retain original size when you are prompted to reduce it through Outlook.  There are ways around the issue but I'm surprised that ERO haven't done anything about it since it's been going on for several years ... I suppose it's possible they aren't aware of it but I'd be surprised.

Hi,

I cannot copy an image using 'Save as' from the right click menu, I get an IE error message, however I can do so from 'File' and 'Save as'.

Regards.

Hi all,

Another snippet of info is that the ERO aim to put the Non Com registers online, unfortunately they cannot give a time scale. 

I've a couple of IGI sourced baptisms I need to get verified in one of the Non Com registers, now that will be worth Paying-to-View for, no whingeing about that one 

Regards

I've got lots of branches on my tree "on the backburner" just waiting for more research to be done on them.

With all these records becoming available soon I can see the autumn being a frenzy of activity and new breakthroughs propelling me back a generation or two or three.....

I have several lines on the backburner until more records go online. Essex is poorly covered on the IGI and SEAX has mainly 1500-1700 records which are online whereas I want mainly 1700-1900 records.

There's a message on the SEAX site that says the new service will now launch on 3rd October.

That's a shame, I was looking forward to next Tuesday!!
