Just relaying the message of the Customer Solutions Associate at ancestry  - he called it a "fluke"

Probably didn't really know what he was talking about. ;D ;D

My Aunt hasn't been able to login all day either, she always logs out when she's finished. ;)  There is something to be said for not logging off if you are using your own PC. ;D

I can log in but can't do much else. I have mail but it times out before it opens. Might have to think about another FH site.
Ancestry. com did work, thank you.
Cheers

Ancestry share e-mail doesn't seem to be up and running yet, so they still have lots of little niggles to sort.

Pleased you got on thru ancestry.com

To be fair, this wasn't really Ancestry's fault, it could just as easily have happened to any of the other sites.

Is anyone else having a problem where it says you are not subscribed? I just renewed my subscription less than two weeks ago but it says I'm a guest since yesterday. Does this have something to do with the DDoS attack?

Very true, there will have been little they could do about it while it was happening and as Groom says, it can happen to any website .. and has done.
