Genealogy Chat

I have deleted my comments with apologies to anyone I might have offended.

It's quite possible that Carole has not used the boards before and so doesn't understand that replies can come back very quickly.

Even though I have been a member for quite a few years, it was only last year that I remembered and used the boards - I would post a message and go away thinking that I would get an email when someone replied. When no emails arrived, I assumed that no one could help me. I remember asking the same question twice by mistake and was soon 'put in my place' which I found rather an unpleasant experience.

I am grateful for what I have learnt over the last year so now try and help others who may be struggling to learn the ropes.

Margaret, you may be jumping the gun there - Carole doesn't mention look-ups in her post. I have asked many questions on these boards, but have never asked for look-ups.
Also, whilst I keep a eye on my threads for the first week or two, I have had people reply many weeks or even months later.

Look at the Tools box to the left of this screen, and click on My Threads.

how do you find out if any one has replied to my threads in the past dont always have time to look!! thank you
