Grrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!

Blooming surname filter keeps kicking in........... go away, I don't want to search for the surnames I'm looking at helping others on!

Another gliche that needs to be sorted.

I cannot recall either, Lesley, but at least nudges can now be deleted once useful threads have been brought forward :-)

I see that you're right Joy, In the olden days when we were Genesconnected and maybe later......were we able to delete posts? I cannot recall.

Thank you, Lesley, so are you :-)

Just noticed someone posted that nudges can be deleted so that's good, one can nudge and delete previous ones :-)

Edit - it was not posted one minute ago, but only a few seconds ago :-)

One wonders if the records and tips boards will stay in place.

I suspect that the star was intended to be GOLD......but it's not come across as that.

And those who have them, as I understand it, don't actually get paid, but they get a free Platinum sub on GR........and have been promised a 'present' at Christmas.

a nice bright blue star would have had more inpact,as the yellow is insipid and a constant reminder of the jewishe onslought,,plus it looks like a sherriffs badge,,,,

and to name it Clinic looks like its for ailments .!

sure the new joining members will think they are in a maze of boards.

I do not like this new system one little bit - and can I ask, are those of you with yellow stars now getting paid by GR? if not, you should be

Renes Report 18 Nov 2010 15:50

Not bothered about a ""Star""


am bothered that a genealogical site offering WW11 information access manages to opt for YELLOW ---- when one thinks of all the colours they could have choosen -

with no historical meaning

Personally, I don't think that the star should be removed............

Good question, no idea! I have a feeling this is all going to be abandoned at some point. My other query is whether only threads on help clinic count as I suspect most queries will be answered on the boards, and that means some of us get freebies and not others which is unfair.
Watch this space!

PS have asked for star to be removed.

Brummiejan

May I ask a question?

The e-mail apparently stipulated that 10 queries per week have to be answered by 'advisors'..........exactly what do GR mean by 'answered'?

Does posting 'I'll have a look for it' qualify as an 'answer'?

Or does actual info have to be provided for it to count?

I am not too keen on the " Yellow " Star ---- there are other colours


The Yellow Star has not always signified - GR Advisors

Jews throughout Nazi-occupied Europe were forced to wear a badge in the form of a Yellow Star as a means of identification.

Well, thanks for the "refresh" tip, have now found the page. Must say I am feeling this is a bad move by Genes as it cuts down the number of people looking. Maybe you should all sign up!!

If GR members can't find answers under the original system ,why should putting them in a separate category make them any more likely to be able to find them?
