Hi, I see that the Boards server was changed. Could that be why the Notification URL from January 16 - 17 are not working? They just take me to the RootsWeb Message Board page -- not the actual message. Is anyone else having this problem? [email protected], Patrice

Yes, that's the same thing as I mentioned in my post earlier (Subject: My Notifications?). Have you actually received any of these notification emails since then? That's what I was asking about in my post, and a few others have reported that they haven't had them, either. No-one yet has said they have.

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!
