The messages between June 12 and June 22 were put into storage. The Archiver has been fixed/added to/ or whatever and new messages are going into the archives again. The messages that are in storage may have to stay there while the staff works on the *New* boards (see next paragraph). ALL messages are available in the interactive archives. Each list has two archives...... one is threaded and the other is searchable (interactive). Only the threaded archives were affected. As for the GenConnect boards......... They have been merged with the MyFamily boards. The staff has been working on this project for some time now and the new boards were released about two days ago. Things are just slightly confused right now and a large helping of patience will make life easier. As with anything new, there are bugs to be worked out. Also, every board administrator has had to *reclaim* his or her board and that alone has been unbelievably difficult for many. So, right now the staff is focusing their energy on smoothing out the bugs and getting administrators connected back up to their respective boards. Then, of course, the admins have to learn how to work these new boards. I think that once the new boards are up and running more smoothly the staff will be free to address the archives and get the stored messages out of storage and into the archives.
