Dangling the carrot, moving the goalposts, come to mind. :-\

I saw that, and am champing at the bit.

Couple of weeks delay isn't any great concern.  To me, it says they've got it all up and running, but in testing have come across a couple of issues that they're sorting out before going live.  Two weeks wouldn't be enough to do a great deal of further work.

fingers crossed!

Looks like it's now been put back until the 24th October  :(

I really hope it's worth the wait as I know they have some records I'm desperate to see relating to my 3x Great Grandfather but can't physically get to the ERO to view them in person.

Its a strange thing,they have been running the service with a limited amount of records on it for some time,so I would think it must be the pay to view part that is holding everything up still it will come on line some time and should be a great help to people who cannot get to the ERO.

I'd rather they kept delaying the launch until they are happy with the service rather than bumbling in with a half baked effort!

Oh dear........... a launch date seems to have disappeared altogether now.

Obviously having quite a few problems.
