If there is some reason you don't want your current username made public you can change it following the instructions on the page. << I'm also not seeing any surname window on any of the messages, and when I tried to edit and enter surnames and click "submit" it didn't work.>> --- How are you entering them? What is happening when you try? Surnames will only be included with a message if the poster included surnames in his post. << And how do I go about getting the messages to show in Date Expanded mode. I think it's the only way to manage/edit messages.....especially when posters are replying to posts that are a few months or years old.>> --- There is NO date expanded display mode on the boards now -- you can expand a thread by clicking the FLAT view link. What has changed is that with the previous boards a new post to an old thread kept the thread in its original location on the board instead of moving it up to the top of the board again. The new boards have the feature that an old thread with a new post added to it moves the thread (not just the reply) up to the top of the board -- so you can find the new posts that way. <<To make matters worse......I'm on AOL and they are delaying ALL my rootsweb email 6 to 8 hours so I'm not getting replies to the problems/questions that are raised.>> I'm not sure that it is AOL--it seems that lists9 which has had some "issues" of late is delaying sending out the posts. This time the culprit may not be AOL. <g> Joan
