This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/BF.2ADIAE/1203.1.2.1.1.1.1.1 Message Board Post: You wrote: Maybe YOU were told, but some of us weren't. There was NOTHING in the e-mail "Admin Information for the RootsWeb Mailing List Update" I received (I'll be happy to paste the entire message). My reply: We WERE told this on the various admin lists. You wrote: This is on the schedule page: http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/migrate_sched.html "A note about Mailing List/Message Board Gateways: This update is being done in conjunction with the message board update. For lists that have gateways to related message boards, once the message board updates launch, the gateways will not work until the list has been updated. We anticipate that this will only be for a short period of time and affect only a few lists. We apologize for the inconvenience." Let me repeat a key phrase, with emphasis: "the gateways will not work UNTIL the list has been updated">> My Reply: I'm sticking to my story that WE (admins on the various admin lists) were told the gateway had not been expected to work at all and they were surprised it did work in sending mail from the boards. I doubt the problems on the list side were anticipated either in view of the fact they didn't realize the messages would be coming from the boards at all. As for when this all will be fixed--since the notice about the board launch you quoted above is now obsolete that changes everything. The current info is that once all lists are migrated they will work on fixing the gateway glitches -- since the boards are on hold and it won't get fixed automatically when the boards launch because that won't be anytime soon.
