Just a way of getting the thread back up the board

Same as posting a reply to a thread

Researching:
PLEASE DO NOT: send me information concerning your thread on the board as it should be posted on your request where all members can see it. PLEASE DO NOT: ask me for help with lookups as they should be placed on the boards to get the best possible result. PLEASE DO NOT: open your tree just because I have posted information on your thread as I will not be related. THANK YOU. Researching Carter, Cass and Walker in England.

Each time a new reply is added to any message thread it nudges it to the top of the message board

Clear as mud

Dotty, I had difficulty with this as well. Basically, you reply to a thread and just write "nudge" or whatever else you like "save for later" would be just as good. So it goes to the top of the list. Trouble is, it soon goes down again.

I believe there is some way of saving it into your own favourites, hope someone will remind us of how that is done, cos I've forgotten, though I know I've done it in the past.

Dotty, just realised, you save it in "my bookmarks" which is on the left hand side of the screen.

Hope this helps.

Alternatively, every time you post on a thread, it is entered in My Threads (in the Top Tips box)


............. so you can just click on that to find a thread that you know you posted on.


Many people use the "nudge" as a means for raising a thread to make sure that it is seen either by other people who might be able to help


........... OR to ensure the thread "owner" does see that there have been response if it seems that they have not!
