A bunch of regulars on the help boards turned down the xbribex offer to become "official" whatever they ares. And I think most of us think the whole idea sucks.

No, nobody else can post there -- only the person asking the question and the starry ones.

And somebody thinks this isn't going to result in massive duplication? I know that if I didn't get a reply on the regular boards, I'd sure be going to these experts for help. In fact, I'm thinking of doing just that with a couple of elusive ancestors ...

In fact, why would anybody post on the regular boards at all, when these hotshots are available to sort things out??

Really really bad idea, that one.


And yes, I want time of day back. I'm over here in the outer western darkness, and the only way I can keep myself somewhat oriented to things going on in GMT is to see the times.


Just went to edit a typo ... every time I do something, something on the page moves somewhere else ...

Well I can see its going to cause a segregation between helpers who gel and rub off on each others findings.

Janey, I know it is a forlorn hope that 'they' might take notice. But why don' you make that point about time of day to the powers that be. I have contacted them with my thoughts on the changes. Especially don't like the time I waste having to make each thread individually go to last post first. Why wont they listen.

Hi Dee, i totally agree with everything you say. It is bound to cause more duplicate postings as has been the case on there today. Perhaps the volunteers should not have volunteered!! lol

I have asked again lol...no one could help ( though many fine people have tried) before, so there may be people in the clinic who didn't try last time :) If not it still won't get answered but it's worth a shot :))
