"1 records found"

Finally getting around to contacting ScotlandsPeople to ask if they could fix their code so it doesn't report "1 records found" in search results rather than "1 record found". That's really poor programming, as hammered into computer science students in my 1st year class 35 years ago at St Andrews!

Mid website upgrade and historical research

vivdunstan: Portion of a 1687 testament of ancestor James Greenfield in East Lothian (historical research)
Wish my brain would stop thinking "I'll just look up another 16th/17th century testament (will and/or inventory) to study in ScotlandsPeople" when the website is still down! Hope it comes back ok after its latest upgrade / revamp. And hope it's not as disastrous as some other website revamps inc SP.

To be fair it's not as though I don't have enough existing historical document images on hand to work on. I just perversely want to go to the website - at the worst possible time! - and get more.
