    1. [BRADFORD-L] a word on gatewayed messages
    2. Erin Bradford
    3. Hi all. Just wanted to remind everyone about those "gatewayed" messages that come to the lists. Those message boards are posts on the message boards at ancestry.com. If you wish to reply to a post, you need to click the link that takes you to the message and reply on the board, not the list. The reason for this is that all messages posted to the board are automatically sent to the list, but it doesn't work both ways. If you reply to a post on the list rather than the board, the person on the message board will not see your response unless they also happen to subscribe to the lists. I've seen a couple of people lately reply to the list rather than the boards, so just wanted to remind everyone of that. I know sometimes it doesn't work the greatest to have the message board posts gatewayed to the list because sometimes someone will reply to a message on the boards that is old, so we don't see the original message. If that happens and it's something that interests you, just click on the link to the message and you can see in the headers to the board's post "In reply to [linked title] by so and so. and just click on that linked title to see the original message. Ok, that's all from me right now. Good luck everyone!
