Suggestions

Thank you for extending the date.

Many photos are being posted in facebook but none here yet. Maybe more non-members have photos that they can post.

Re making announcements more obvious. We intended making changes to include in todays release, but making sure the parish records were complete caused this to slip into the next release cycle. We will get there :-)

Hi everyone, we don't need a full story, we just want to see your photos please! The competition is being extended till Monday to give you all time to sort out your best photos. The book arrived in the office this morning and it looks really interesting. Please post the photos to this page so everyone can see them:

Good heavens! What short notice. How many of us can write a story in a day?

I have many wartime pictures but no way could I select the most interesting ones, spend time putting them on here and then writing a story about them in one busy day.

Who thought this bright idea up I wonder?


I have no New announcment showing so would have been oblivious to this thread.


Hope we hear back from The Team......




:-S

It is not showing New for me today.

If I click on community then boards summary, now I can see the word NEW next to announcements but, if I click on announcements, then the word new is not there at all.
Earlier the word NEW was not next to announcements.

KenSE,

So the NEW icon must only work for some members then.

When I logged on this evening via the Community page the "NEW" icon against Announcements was the first thing I saw.

I'm sure there was something on the various boards earlier. Can't find it any more though :-S

Thank you, I would not have known either. Totally insufficient time for people across the world to send one. And I have just seen on facebook:

"Last week the Bletchley Park Trust announced it had been given a £4.6 million grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund towards the regeneration of Bletchley Park, the historic site of the war-time codebreakers. We have a found a very interesting book about the history of Bletchley Park and you could win a copy of it. Just post a war-time photo of your family with the story behind it by 10am tomorrow and we will pick a winner at random. http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2010/sep/25/secret-bletchley-park-sinclair-mckay"

Now I made a suggestion a while back to say that when GR put something new on the announcements board there should be some icon etc to catch your attention to the new posting.

Nothing has happened yet and if I hadn't of seen your post Aunty Sherlock I would have never of known there was even a competition.

Has anyone noticed the post about the competition. It is on Announcements. Posted 12 Oct and winner will be announced on 13th October.

I understand you are very busy putting your entry together. Very short time line isn't it. Have been wondering what types of war time photos people will come up with. My wartime photos cover WW1 and WW2. Most are either wedding groups or portraits.
