Oh, no! I haven't tried to edit any yet - I'm waiting for them to go back to the old format (HA HA HA HA!!!), but I understand from other messages here that messages in the thread cannot be edited while in flat mode? Did I misunderstand that? I guess I could go try one and see for myself. I'm beginning to think Ancestry doesn't want or need our services any longer. With each change, it seems to be getting more and more difficult to perform our voluntary jobs :-( Beginning with not being user friendly at all, particularly for researchers, searching for our boards in a jumbled up mess and not being able to sort them, not being able to maintain the expanded list (even when I go to a board and then use the Back button, it won't show the expanded list again - I have to manually click on the link to expand the list), not being able to read the message subject because the screen of messages has been condensed to about one-quarter of the screen, not being able to view in date or threaded expanded mode.... well, this has all been said, I'm sure. Actually, I'm compiling a list of problems for feedback - hopefully, they will be read. Oh, and everything is sooooooo slow (moving from screen to screen) compared to before the change. Perhaps that is because we are all trying to use it at once? In addition, we write a message for this list and it takes from 8-12 hours to appear.

I think the answer for all of this is contained in your paragraph below. Posts to mailing lists have fallen off drastically of late, and most messages that have been posted to the lists I belong to and those I administer have been coming from the message boards . . . . now, I predict that the message board posts will dwindle also . . . ----- Original Message ----- From: "marilynandmonty" <marilynandmonty@cox.net> To: <boards-admins@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, December 08, 2006 5:49 PM Subject: Re: [BAd] Re Message Board changes > I'm beginning to think Ancestry doesn't want or need our services any > longer.
