Has anyone else had trouble with access to the British Origins site today Monday 12th Sep? I had only been logged on a few minutes when the link failed. As I've never had any success with continuing a session after a break I'm a bit depressed about it. Eileen

Just to update you on my British Origins problems - the site reappeared after a short while (OK I am short of patience with web sites that play up) and I was let on to continue my session. My next problem was with apprentice image files for which I had to load a demo version of a TIF reader. The suggested site didn't offer me a reader for my browser of choice so I had to switch to IE. If I want to continue to read TIF files from the site I must pay for the demo version to be updated. This compares very badly with the 1837online site where they show you how to download a dejavu reader for free. Just to muddy the water I am an Apple Macintosh user so obviously part of a minority group of customers. This sort of messy outcome puts me off using British Origins except for my free access sessions. So although they have (or will have) the 1841 census images I'll think twice before committing any money.
