I would say that this year's "ask a question" has been pretty much a failure!


very disappointing!

It is quite easy spotting the 4 threads from this year as they are posted as WDYTYAlive......instead of WDYTYA

Nothing much

I think ANY response on one of those posts will pretty much guarantee a free month. :-)

At this rate I don't think many "helpers" will be getting the free months sub :-D

There´s almost more activity on Find Ancestors.......though not much more.
Perhaps everyone is still clearing up after the floods, although other noteable sites don´t seem to have been affected.

Day three 13.32 and no new threads today :-S

Maybe someone has run off with the laptops :-D

As Sylvia said, not exactly a huge take up in the first 2 days.
Maybe there will be more today, being Saturday.
Otherwise, the whole exercise would appear to be a total waste of everyones time.

it's probable that EVERY member of staff is at WDYTYA ..........


........ so there is no-one manning the office to read on here or on FB


The staff seems to have been cut to the bone, if we tot up all the ones who have moved over to other parts of the company.

They are not even reading their facebook page....WDYTYA must be the main concern at the moment.

Yes Sylvia - I did the same, hence my post. :-( I did some looking up and posted on a thread before I realised it was on an old thread, grrrrr, so after deleting I went off in a huff , then came on this thread to ask them to do something about that Board, as several of us have done. .
Today I checked to see if anything had been done, hence my second post :-)

Well, if GR can't be bothered to a) organise that board properly or b) read their own Suggestions Board where they would see this thread, well I can't be bothered to look at the WDYTYA Board - not a big loss really, I'm hardly an expert :-D

BUT



they also are seemingly not getting many customers for this "service"


3 requests yesterday, 1 so far today ................. and that is from someone who made one of the requests yesterday


so only 3 people have asked for help so far

someone posted on an old thread from last year on Wednesday evening :-)



I just do not understand how GR can get so many things wrong!

Genes are not reading this thread - a pity. It is still possible to pick up an old request from last year and add to it, i just checked!

I agree ..................


there should have been another Board set up for this year ...................


or at the very least, last year's postings should have been locked so that no more posts could be made.

I agree - PLEASE get rid of the old threads, or put them somewhere else..
Keeping them on the same board is confusing and time wasting for potential 'helpers'.
