Just got this message trying to access the site.   So they've got a new error message rather than the OOPs we've got a problem we used to get on the old site.

You've added that since I posted mine. ;D ;D

I thought I'd snip it while it was there just in case they removed it too. ;D

Make's you think the Techie staff are becoming frustrated with the new site too. ;)  Somebody's got a sense of humour.

I saw Jed's post so added my bit about strong language and then saw that you'd posted without the ship  ;D

smudwhisk - do you remember a few weeks ago when there was a bit of a problem with Ancestry's new site and a few of us tried to help and calm things down ?......................

To be honest I missed the ship when I first saw it as was busy snipping to add it to RC. ;D ;D  It's only when the site kept refreshing in my browser and I went back to it that I saw the ship.  Someone definitely still has a sense of humour in FindMyPast and I bet it's not the people who developed the site but the poor b***ers who have to maintain it. ;)
