I cannot view my own family tree

+1 vote
558 views
I logged in a few minutes ago to a tree I have been working on since 2015, and it is not showing up. All I can see is "Me". I am getting an error that says "you do not have permission to view this tree" and a red note above my login that says "this family is read only". I was just in yesterday, and I did not have any issues. I have years-worth of research and information in here I would not be able to recreate easily. Help?

Sorry about that, one of the family database servers had some downtime, it should be all OK now.

I am also having this issue. I am the one who created my tree and the only one editing it, and now suddenly I cannot view it. I get the same "You do not have permission to view this tree."
