No, I haven't received it in a few days either. I just hadn't really noticed, since I check my admin boards from the alerts link.

I've not received any My Notifications since the 16th but have been working through My Alerts to try to keep up. A couple of unfortunate things are happening, though. (1) I don't know the technical term for it, but to get from My Alerts to a board message various URLs are called to get there and they go by pretty swiftly until they get to "Transferring data from switchatdmt.com". Usually the holdup is only two or three seconds, but I've counted as long as six seconds sometimes and that really slows things up to an uncomfortable, time-wasting pace. (2) Leaving RootsWeb through the My Alerts page freezes my browser (Firefox), which eventually shuts itself down EVERY time. My first thought was it's a Firefox problem, but because it doesn't happen with any other pages think there's got to be something really weird about the My Alerts page. Also, I tried to get My Alerts in Opera a while ago, and it wouldn't even load the page. Right now the board aren't very much fun to work with!

Wendy, I haven't received any Notifications for at least 4 days, maybe more. I've been checking the My Alerts link regularly to see what posts are made.

Anna- So far the boards seem to be MUCH faster which is helping with most of the error messages and anomalies that we've been seeing but for me at least REQUEST NEW BOARD is not functioning. I get a results page when I click to submit the request that says that the page doesn't exist. So I don't know whether the requests are going through or not. I was on the USA General board when ma king my request for a new board if that matters.

Lynne- I can sometimes get to my objections if I keep trying over and over -- finally they come up. However, I had an odd experience last night that fortunately I wasn't able to replicate since then... I clicked to view an objection and the message and board that came up for review were correct BUT...when I clicked on EDIT the edit screen that came up was for a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT message and different BOARD and it wasn't even a board I admin!!! I just backed out and clicked again and the correct message came up for editing this time and I was able to successfully edit the subject line (which was my original intention).

Lynne, I'm still having trouble viewing mine. I've had trouble since early November and couldn't view them at all until about Jan. 6th. They worked for one day and now I can't access them again so I'm complaining again. I'm also not able to use the Report Abuse link on a couple boards -- since November -- and I can't access the Recycle Bin on one board since Nov. 15th. Three complaints later, I still can access the Recycle Bin or the Report Abuse link. I don't understand why these boards still continue to be so "buggy" with the same OLD problems that keep happening over and over again. These boards have been in place since Dec. 2006.

Is everyone now able to view objections? I haven't seen any complaints about this recently, but wanted to see if I was alone in being unable to view objections before I report it to the Help Desk. Lynne

I almost *never* am able to view anything the first time, Lynne. If I repeat or refresh multiple times, the screen usually comes up with or without objections. Last night it took three tries, I think it was. Two nights ago, I had an objection, but it took a couple "error screens" before I was able to view it. So, no, you are not alone in being unable to review them, at least not normally. Marilyn G. P.S. No, I haven't reported it. Guess I should. But I'm just tired of all the problems and I'm not happy with the options we have available when there is an objection. I thought there was always a fourth choice, but then it has been so long since I'd seen any, I don't really remember (have a lot less boards than I used to and then we were unable to view them for quite awhile). Off my "gripe box" now. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: "BOARDS-ADMINS" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, January 17, 2008 8:54 AM Subject: [BAd] viewing objections > Is everyone now able to view objections?
