I have just uploaded a file and received the following warning:- Fiie 1878B3N0380 uploaded successfully. However, FreeBMD issued the following warning(s) ... Page should be numeric optionally followed by a single letter (or contain wildcards), or be a late reference (like 'see D/37' - see here if different) got See S/80 at line 276 (Newell, Joseph, Machynlleth, 11b, See S/80) I cannot see why the system feels it necessary to issue a warning here because the entry appears to conform to the the expected format. The only difference I can see is the capital 'S' in S/80. As an experiment, I tried uploading the entry with a lower case 's' (retuning it, of course, to a capital afterwards) and this still resulted in a warning. Is this a glitch - or am I missing something? Cedric Hoptroff ________________________________________________________________________ AOL Email goes Mobile!

Shirley, I have just (10:24 BST) managed to successfully access the scan you mentioned, so I would suspect it is an intermittent problem. The url I ended up with was http://images.freebmd.org.uk/GUS/1930/Deaths/March/ANC-04/K-Z/1930D1-R-0198.jpg Perhaps it might be worth trying to access that way? Just to see if you can access the scan that way.

Michael I'm sure that everyone at FreeBMD and the associated FreeREG and FreeCEN will say the same as I, you are very welcome and we hope that our sites do help you track down your ancestors. We do this as volunteers and enjoy helping others, maybe you might be able to help in that way? If so, just ask here and a coordinator will surely contact you. Until then, please recommend us to your friends over there, we may be able to help them also. Best wishes for your research.

Hi, I just (19:10PST Friday Oct 3rd) tried to access 1930D1-R-0198.jpg. Drilling through the index I see the index of files, but clicking on the filename comes up with Not Found The requested URL /GUS/1930/Deaths/March/ANC-04/K-Z/1930D1- R-0198.jpg was not found on this server. Is there an intermittent problem (it also didn't work last night (my time)) but I though it would be working after the emails today.

Hello Is there a problem with the Image server/s. At intermittent times over the past 2 weeks I have encountered the "404 Page Not Found" message when trying to download scans. I have been trying now for the past 45 mins and am still getting the same result. http://images.freebmd.org.uk/GUS/1933/Births/June/ANC-04/K-Z/ I have also tried 1923 Deaths and 1854 Marriages Is anyone else having difficulty?

Subject: RE: Missing Scans Hi Barrie, I thought we'd put this one to bed! <snip> G'day We also had problems accessing scans - it lasted for several hours where all we got was 404 and a message along the lines that the scans were not available on that server - sorry I can't remember the exact wording now I'm accessing scans for our Syndicate throughout the day normally with no hassles - I usually use http://www.freebmd.org.uk/scan-source2.shtml Is this the wrong address to use? We eventually got access using the above addy around midnight AWST Hooroo Teri

Hi Barrie, I thought we'd put this one to bed! I normally access scans via the link on the Transcribers Page. When this didn't work yesterday morning, I tried the link Allan gave me: http://images.freebmd.org.uk/GUS/1934/Marriages/March/ANC-04/A-J/1934M1-A-00 11.jpg This produced the same message. However about 5 hours later (after I'd been out to lunch with the family) both routes worked. Can't say more - I just assume it was a temporary glitch.

I have an allocation of 1934 Marriages to transcribe for Allan Raymond's Orphan Syndicate. Allan is on holiday. When I tried to download the scans this morning (0915BST 27 Sep) I received this message: "The requested URL /GUS/1934/Marriages/March/ANC-04/ was not found on this server." Is there a problem?
