Just wondering if anyone else is using this site and finding it incredibly glitchy? Can't search for member names/interests, seems to be duplicating the first name for some reason, can't search the collections, eg birth, as it isn't generating the usual long list of names, just a handful, and haven't had any new matches for days now (though this can happen anyway). Anyone?

I found it was definitely acting odd yesterday evening.

As to matches, I've just cheked now so I don't know what it was like yesterday, but my dad is showing 12 new matches in the last 7 days and my mum is also showing 12 new matches in the last 7 days.

I have also had 12 new matches in the last 7 days. I don't know if it's just coincidence that we all had the same number or not?

I was interested to see that I share 6 of my dad's 12 matches and only 2 of my mum's matches.

In addition I have an extra four matches (3 on my mum's side and 1 on dad's side) that are not matches for my parents. All very strange.

Glad it's not just me then! The thought of it generating matches that aren't matching to either your mum or dad is a bit worrying though. (I could see the logic of it happening the other way round with very distant relationships but not this way.) I've found it very accurate and reliable so far.
