Am I understanding or misunderstanding something? Does this also mean that we (the Board Admin.) won't be able to reply privately to the board poster when the new boards are in place? How will we notify them that an off-topic post has been moved to another board? Marilyn P.S. Just a side note: it looks like I received this post 2 hours after it was originally posted so we must still be suffering some "lag time" by AOL servers. ----------------------original message------------------------ In a message dated 8/23/2006 12:38:37 A.M.

He will either click the link and reply on the board as he is supposed to do or he will reply on the list only and the board poster will never see the response. There won't be any middle ground.

Hi, You can always reply to the poster on a board by going to the board and clicking on the person's name and copying the email address then initating an email to them.. A lot of work for a person with a lot of boards.. There should be a better way to do it... Oh and you better get that address before you move it...
