Ah, thanks, Rosie.
When I get to login I just get the security notices.

Thanks for the info. I've been finding it really frustrating for over a week I’m using Safari on both my  iPad & Mac

Access not a problem on my iPad but on my Mac every time I try and access gro I keep getting this message

This Connection is Not Private

This website may be impersonating “www.gro etc….. to steal your personal or financial information.
Go back to the previous page

Hopefully all will be sorted soon - fingers crossed

Edit to add

OH NO  :o  I've just had an update downloaded onto my iPad and now I can't access gro on here either getting the same message this connection is not private  >:(

I have just woken up to the same problem. Tried DuckDuckGo and they are blocking it too.

Withdrawal symptoms for me!

No problems for me.  But I do have it as a "shortcut" on my desktop.

Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.
Remember - "They'll be found when they want to be found" !!!

Hasn't worked for me since Tuesday evening, ‘twas OK on Monday. Gave some ‘feedback' and I'm sure others have. I see a message above from the login page (thanks to Millmoor) that it's being worked on.

See reply 35 for Millmoors post. 

You can't see the message on the GRO site though if you are having the problem as you can't get into the page  ;D

I have it as a shortcut too but I am getting the error message from that,  it does not seem to be constant as to where it is happening.  :)

My search is mainly Scotland and it seems that some folks have located to England, so on the 28th Jan, I tried accessing the website and couldn't get through, I  tried again 20 mins later, managed to get in and ordered a Death Cert.  Later that night, tried ordering another one, but was timed out after a few seconds, so other searches are put on the back burner for the time being.


Cheers

hard to see how to give "Feedback" if one can't log in at all!

I also have a shortcut and it works fine for me.  Hope I haven’t just jinxed it!
