Incredible isn't it that 15 years ago it hardly existed. These days even Bill Clintons cat has a blog !. Sorry if you think I am being cheeky placing this here BUT I am 15 years old and have to do a project at school (for my GCSE exams). It would really, really help if people posted on here how many hours a week they think they spend on the Web. I believe I'm up to 30 hours !. Really appreciate anyone taking the time to reply. Thanks. Bookmarked, I will return every single week. Hi, I adore surfing the web !. Incredible isn’t it that 15 years ago it hardly existed. These days even Bill Clintons cat has a blog !.

I did not use the 1911 for a bit as my voucher ran out and I had a lot of FH stuff from a cousin to add. On Christmas Eve I tooke out a subscription for 1911, and can no longer see 'switch to standard viewer'. Is it there, and I am blind, or has it gone?

This new limit will make it a lot easier for researchers to do one name studies or like myself, one place studies. Well done Findmypast. @Iantester - Thanks for your reply, I am sure a lot of frowns have now turned to smiles.

The Fair Usage limit is designed to catch people abusing the service, not to stop you doing your family history. It has been set by looking very closely at the data showing how people use the site, and we hope you'll agree that 5000 views a month should be plenty for personal research! @Sally - I’m happy to confirm this is the case.

The new limit is a huge 5000 record views per month and we will send a warning email if you start to get close to this limit. We will also be introducing a counter on the website soon to let you see how close to the limit you are getting". It is after midnight here so not sure if I am reading this right - does it really mean that I can look at 5000 images per month or do I need to go to bed and look at the email again in the morning? Good to know I will get notified when I am near my limit and I look forward to the counter so that I can check my own downloads.

I took out the 6 month deal with FMP and did a search on everything that I had previously listed for 1911 - The sub was better than PPV. Only took a few days, big pile of paper plus image downloads. Now need enter to tree software and check. No doubt I shall find a few more - plus some backtracking. So while the Sub was sort of better 'Value' I still didnt need the timescale. Why not monthly or quarterly ? A 6 month sub of £75 is far too expensive The transcriptions are not presented the same way as the 1911 site either [Less] Why not share a sub ? / Sub let it / Would anyone know

Having been using findmypast for some years, since the BMDs went online (old 1837online system), I hadn't realised there was a different viewer. I had recently found an alternative which was to open in Irfanview on download and save as jpg, but the standard viewer may be more convenient. @iantester - thanks for the suggestion.
