I've lost all my saved images as I have had to re-register. I've just sent them an e-mail so I wonder how long it will be before they sort this out.

Wow, I love the new search facility! You get to see the list of search results without paying, and it shows you more information than before on the list of results, so you are less likely to view the wrong image.

I have only just started trying things out, but I see that when you search the OPR baptisms, the options for "refine your search" allow you to put in parents' names, though I am having trouble getting this to work at the moment.


Anyway, it looks much more flexible than the old search facility.

Slightly different to what I saw at 4am on Sunday.

I don't like it.

They have added Presbyterian records.

I keep getting "no results" on searches which I think should produce some results; not sure whether I am doing something wrong or if the search isn't working properly.

I'm in after changing my password. When I did this, I at first encountered a message that something was wrong and I must contact them. (I've forgotten the exact wording.) Ignoring this, I closed out all tabs for their website and went back in using Kite's link in post #9. (Thank you, Kite.) As I was not sure whether the password change had registered or not, I first used my old password. That did not work. I then tried the new password and was immediately admitted.

Is anyone else having trouble with the new search? I keep getting no results. I suppose I could try watching the video...

edit: I watched the video showing how to search but it didn't help.

Once you get search results it is exactly how I saw it Sunday a 4am with search function on left bar.

I am not keen I must admit.

Also when searching for marriages, I remember that you saw spouse name on the list next to groom on all records, whether old or recent, and vice versa, now it is a link and that costs 5 credits! Recent marriages have surname!

Or am I going mad?

Edit: no it isn't charging me now it is a pop up.

I see some people have posted that they are also getting no results from searches which should have results, and SP have replied that they tried the same search and did get the proper results. Doesn't really help!

I have been having another go with the new search facility on SP today and finding lots of entries I hadn't found before, so I assume they have fixed the search problems some time in the last 18 months!
