Never mind - got it. :-) ~*~*~*~*~* I've managed boards for years but I'm embarrassed to say I've forgotten how to write the path to move a message. I used to just browse, select the board and move it. Now I get "virtual list has been enabled" and can't figure out how to correctly enter the path. I'm trying (at the request of the poster) to move a LOCKHART message from OLIVER to LOCKHART (which is a valid board).

We have someone posting spam on the Finland board. Can anyone tell me what we need to do? The board administer is apparently not around. Colleen

Dorman, Do you know for a fact that the former admin is also relinquishing the message board? If not, there is nothing you can do because you are not the admin for the message board, only the Genweb county site. If the former admin has also chosen to give up the message board, and you wish to take it over, the former admin needs to contact messsageboards@rootsweb.com and tell them the board is being placed up for adoption. Once that is done, you can then go and request to become the admin of that board; once you are the admin of the message board, you can edit the Links and Announcements as Joan has already described. But first you need to become the board admin. -- Mary On Mon, 28 Aug 2006, Dorman Holub wrote: > Greetings: > > I've recently taken over the Young County, TX TXGenWeb site. > > Can I have my name and email address inserted in: Links and > Announcements as the Administrator of the the Young County board?

If you merely want the default standard page that just lists your name and email address as admin -- then just blank out all the content of the L&A page there now and the default page should replace it automatically.

Dear Judy, Actually, I am not typing in the "re" at all. I notice that for some reason, even after just typing in whatever subect the text may be, once posted, the "re" is automatically put on there by itself. In the subject line, I've never myself typed "re".....so, I'm not sure why it is showing up so much. I thank you for your input. I will also try and go back and change the / for the comma.

You have quite a number of posts with a / between names, such as on this http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=message&r=rw&p=surnames.bircheat&m=36 You've carried on the practice even on your posts to the Boards-Admins board, such as in the quoted material below. The second thing I noticed is that in many of your initial posts you start the subject with Re: Technically "re:" loosely means "regarding " or about (like "Regarding/About Mary Jane Birceat") but on ALL boards the "re:" means "in reference to the first post." or "regarding (the same subject as in the initial post") So all of your initial posts should be posted without the "re" and all 2nd, 3rd, etc posts in a thread should start with "re". I'm concerned that board users will become all confused with seeing so many initial posts begin with "re" as though you're responding to another poster. I'm seeing more people on Lists do the same thing (use re: on a 1st post) and then I'm always thinking I missed the 1st email or beginning of a thread of emails --- but there are no emailS plural, there is just the ONE email which is actually an initial email, not in reply to a previous email. The improper use of "re:" is beginning to be a pet peeve of mine - LOL I hope you'll enjoy being a new admin.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Bircheat/Pendley Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/BF.2ADIAE/1198.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Actually, the topic of Cherokee indians is to help those who are related to the Bircheat/Hyde/Hisaw/Pendley name because it is said through our relatives that we have Cherokee indian in our ancestral lineage. The person being offended is my older sister who has an issue with her roots, in general, so we are not sure why she wants to be a part of the board. If you read the posts, yes, they do make reference to the Bircheat surname because of our ancestor caroline Honeycutt Bircheat, who is said to be of Cherokee descent. I am definitely not abusing the board in any way. All topics relate to our ancestors who are related to the Bircheats and photos are added for our ancestors/relatives to view who are inquiring about such relatives/ancestors.
