Trouble at SP

Post by searcher 52 » Sun Mar 25, 2007 5:30 pm

In the past few days I have had 3 searches in OPR which have returned the wrong images. Those nice people at SP are very good at sorting it out but it's a bit frustrating waiting for the new one to be sent to you when you feel you have made a hit.

Am I alone?

Seems you are not alone. See post "S.P. so slow".
It is frustrating as you just want to get on and find out ever more - but on the other hand we are so lucky being able to find out so much in Scotland.
Good luck with your searches.

Hello Andrew

I can understand that it can be frustrating to wait for a image to be sent by snail mail.

But on the other hand, down here in the colonies :lol: , I think I would have got nowwhere with my searching for my lang deid yins. I did get a good start in this game from my aunt back in Scotland, but that was also by snail mail. :lol: Oh and I mustnt forget the good people on this forum too for their generous help.

Never mind it will be at your place before you know it.

I have to say you've been very unlucky to have had so many in a short period. Out of all the many ones I've got since they went online I've only had three mismatches. The last two were actually sent by email rather than snail mail.
