Apologies to those who like me, await updates of this thread with bated breath, but I discovered yesterday that GRONI have some of the older 'not yet uploaded' records, and while it's five or six GRONI credits to see them, it's still cheaper than a trip to Werburgh Street or an order to Roscommon.

While we're here has anyone else found the Captcha particularly stubborn these past few days?

The past month or more it's been very smooth and now all of a sudden it's back to its old trick of requiring half a dozen attempts or more.

DamoRed · 28-07-2018 2:36pm

I've been away from this for a while now and returned the other day and was delighted to see the captcha was no longer in operation - just the box stating I'm not a robot and then the name. Have I entered something of a parallel universe, Hermy, where yours is more difficult and mine is non-existent? :cool:

As a result of being away, I've no idea what updates of new info have been added, or what's expected, or overdue. Can anyone fill me in on this please? Thank you

I've had bouts where all that was required was to tick that box but it never lasts.

Wish I knew what causes it to change.

Same here.

Yeah, some times you have to identify shop fronts or vehicles or geographical features, other times, it just believes me that I'm not a robot.

Jellybaby1 · 29-07-2018 11:50pm

When these records came online I was doing the Captcha thing dozens and dozens a time every day for weeks, and although I was very grateful for what I was getting, having to do it so many times was indeed very frustrating.

Hermy · 02-08-2018 10:50am

Claire Santry has just posted an update at Irish Genealogy News.
A few months to go yet but it'll be worth waiting for.

Jellybaby1 · 02-08-2018 10:56am

I'm thankful Claire began with "Don't get too excited, now", it was very helpful!

Otherwise I would have fainted.

Hermy · 02-08-2018 11:36am

One might feel inclined not to hold ones breathe!:)

Careful, now!

I'm struggling to find an appropriate use of "Down with this sort of thing" but hey, by hook or by crook, it's there anyway!

pinkypinky · 02-08-2018 1:59pm

I'll believe it's coming in November when I see it. That said, they don't usually specify a month.

Hermy · 02-08-2018 4:41pm

Have they specified a year?

Jellybaby1 · 03-08-2018 12:19am

Shhhhhh! If we get too sarky they may make us wait longer!

pinkypinky · 03-08-2018 10:36am

That would require civil servants to read the internet in relation to their job. I don't think irishgenealogy.ie is that high on ANYONE's priority list.

DamoRed · 03-08-2018 11:06am

As far as I can recall, I read here, that it's a very small group of people who make up Genealogy.ie. Does anyone know how many it is?

pinkypinky · 03-08-2018 11:47am

It's one person.

DamoRed · 03-08-2018 5:44pm

Just one? That's unbelievable. Why on Earth are such little resources afforded to what's a big source of tourist traffic to Ireland? It's obvious this one person has a workload that needs more assistance at least, and it could and would become so much more efficient. No wonder they're 4-5 months behind schedule.

Hermy · 03-08-2018 7:58pm

Ah sure that'd be doing things properly Damo and we can't have that now, can we!! :pac:

DamoRed · 03-08-2018 8:39pm

Ah, God forbid, (says an Atheist) t'wud be unconstitutional.

and an army of technical contractors.

Jellybaby1 · 03-08-2018 11:28pm

If its only one person, could another person offer to volunteer to help out?

pinkypinky · 03-08-2018 11:36pm

Didn't we just have this conversation a few months ago?

Jellybaby1 · 04-08-2018 12:12am

Oh yes, we did.

mickmackey1 · 05-08-2018 12:46pm

The f***in captchas are back :mad::mad:

Hermy · 05-08-2018 7:17pm

They haven't gone away you know!!

I've switched to the audio and it seems like any gibberish gets you in.

Jellybaby1 · 20-08-2018 10:21pm

Anyone getting this message on irishgenealogy.ie on both civil and parish records, or is it just me?

"An error occurred during a connection to civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie. Peer’s Certificate has been revoked. Error code: SEC_ERROR_REVOKED_CERTIFICATE "

mickmackey1 · 20-08-2018 10:31pm

Getting the same error message here.

Hermy · 20-08-2018 11:22pm

Working fine for me just now.

Jellybaby1 · 21-08-2018 12:36pm

I'm still getting the message. Can't just be mickmackey1 and me surely?

Aw flip! What's wrong with our computers?

JDERIC2017 · 21-08-2018 12:43pm

getting same in firefox but not using safari!!! they must be working on the site.

L1011 · 21-08-2018 1:05pm

Cert revocation lists are operating system and browser dependent at times.

Reminder that they've said November for the next update. The Civil Service is unlikely to have something ready 2.5 months ahead of schedule.

Very good pinky, I'd be surprised if they were early, on the other hand, aren't you the party-pooper!!

pinkypinky · 21-08-2018 10:04pm

It is but one of the many roles of a moderator!

L1011 · 21-08-2018 10:16pm

Cert expiry/revocation/update would have nothing to do with backend data changes/updates.

Is anyone else still getting this message?

I'm also having issues with every other site I try to visit since yesterday so I don't know if this is my issue or Irish Genealogy's.

mickmackey1 · 22-08-2018 11:55am

Back working for me but I don't see any new records.

pinkypinky · 22-08-2018 2:04pm

Hermy - have you contacted them about the error?

Hermy · 22-08-2018 3:46pm

Not this time.

I can't get anything to load properly so I have other issues to solve first.

Hermy · 22-08-2018 3:58pm

Working again now all of a sudden.

Though the other gremlins are still there .

Jellybaby1 · 22-08-2018 9:46pm

Working again, phew!

DamoRed · 08-09-2018 11:20am

I'm running here on Chrome, and I've not had to solve captchas for ages, but I started a new search on Firefox yesterday, and there they were!
