Glad I`m not the only one who has difficulty with FTF.... I registered over a year ago, and pop in from time to time to take a look, I even added to a posting once or twice, but somehow I get a bit lost on there.....will definetly persevere with it.....if all you nice people think its great, thats good enough for me


see you on the other side.....

BTW i`m Nickyinsunnysussex over there......the day I registered was middle of July and it was bucketing down with rain, so the name was a bit tongue in cheek......

Heather,

Come over Glitter, use the link above, come on General, be mobbed by kind hearted people and our Brenda who is our Welcoming Hostess, lol. We can soon sort you out.

Honest guys, its easy. Its just we have more boards over there than here. Boards for family tree program info, board for restoring any old photos you want done, boards for the WIKI encyclopaedia links - so much more but if you just come over and check out general and Research boards for the time being ...........

Its also great we can add photos and images on there so that you can put on the doc you cant read or ask for help indentifying uniforms etc.

Re the glittery signatures some people have which can distract, you can turn off all that stuff using your user panel on there. :)

Heather,

I have the same problem as Betty. Just can not get my head around the way that FTF works.

By younger folk like you and I perhaps Heather, but, sadly, OC's 70 Years Younger makeover, transforming her into the Glam lady in the photo on FTF, didn't extend to the old grey matter!

Perhaps the time is approaching for a whip round for one of those DS Brain Training gadgets for her?

Betty - do persevere with learning your way around FTF. It is well worth it!

It is easy honest Betty - and ever so friendly. Come to the site on this link

http://www.familytreeforum.com/index.php

and you can clearly see what each board is for. Come over on general and say hello.

pmsl I keep thinking the heading of this thread is going to read "Whatever happened to Baby Jane?"

Hi everyone, sorry I didn't know there were more posts on this thread after being on last night.

I did find out that OC and others who left GR are now on FTF, my main problem is I have never been on FTF and registered but somehow I can't manage my way around that website.

I just wish it had threads layed out the way GR is, however I am going to give it another try!!! even although I posted a thread on FTF a while back but somehow I could never find it again.

AND, this will shock you guys, at one point OC put a photo on there and NO, she doesnt look like Miss Marples - but is in reality a very glam lady.

Gillian, sorry but you have been sussed already.

*trembles at the thought that OC may sic her familiars on her*....

*breathes sigh of relief when she realises that OC's aged brain will probably never make the connection between FormerlyJustGillian here and Just Gillian on FTF.*

Dont Gillian, she has ways and means you know - her power stretches far and wide

Golly gosh Heather!

Imagine the fun we could have if we were wicked - OC reading and fuming but powerless to respond! It's the chance of a lifetime!

Reassuring to hear she can still read, in spite of her advanced years!

Yes, we have the pleasure of O.C.'s company and wit over on Family Tree Forum where you may get an audience with her if your name is drawn.

Oh, by the way, she can still read threads on here :)
