The work which we do to improve on poor transcriptions means that other researchers will have easier and more accurate use of the database and it would be nice if this were recognised in some way.

Thought initially that it was a conflict of running both IE and Firefox but logging out of everything etc and only using Firefox still means that I can't access my records as I can't log in Very Irritating especially as all worked well until today... I can log in to FmP on Firefox but not 1911 anymore.

I was having the same problem sometime ago, and then out out of the blue it happened again this week. There has been a blog in the past re this if you want to have a look through them, but all I do is click onto 'My Records' and go through that way, select a new search or click into one I already have & have no problems after that. Hope that works for you. Cheers from Auckland Heather Hi Noel

Everything works OK on the machine I am using at present. I can look at both sites and two lots of census returns/images, i.e. 1901 and 1911. I can log off no problems and back on again. This is the same on two machines I use. I can only think there might be an issue with the machine being used or not logging off correctly. Mark Noel,

However... what concerns me is that FMP are unable to implement a proper fix to this problem. In summary, they are unable to properly delineate between "FMP1911" and the "MainFMP" site. For example, if I log into "MainFMP" I can see there that I have credits that properly belong to "1911FMP", which I don't need because I have a subscription. Further, I cannot simultaneously be logged in to both "1911FMP" and "MainFMP", which means that I cannot search over all censuses at the same time. My great fear is that once the 1911 census is available under a subscription I will not be able to access "My Records" that I can currently see on "1911FMP." I have therefore taken the precaution of saving all images to my hard disk, and printing out all the transcriptions that I have paid for. Another reason for doing this results from my experience with another site to which I also have a subscription, and passenger lists thereon. Some months ago I accessed, via my subscription, some passenger lists of interest, but omitted to save the actual images. Lo and behold access to the images was withdrawn without warning, and I had to purchase some units especially to access these images again. Once bitten, twice shy. My advice to all is save those images, and print out those transcriptions. In the meantime FMP...where is a reliable solution to enable me to log in to both sites at the same time?

They (1911) will want to get as much out of you as possible before the subscription is launched. With still some areas still to be launched there is still a lot of money to be made out 30 credits a pop for an image. My bet is it wont be until the last qtr of the year. (I hope I am wrong) We are still waiting for those extra images to be available which were promised some time ago. Mark SJ,

There are loads of records I'd like to look at which may be ancestors but I can't afford to look at all the variations and possibilities until the subscriptions are an option.
