Okay the perceived problem with the archives is now resolved There was a long delay between posting the follow up on the 1st July and it reaching the archives, but for reasons unknown it added the original post as the start of the thread first before the July replies, which made it look as if the original was posted 1st July instead of in June So eventually all is well Note 1, when you visit the lists archives, there may be a delay in a post or replies being archived Note 2, when you visit the archives, click on the year, then select the month if required, when posts come up you need to click the blue subject line, some appear to be threaded, others are not (may be due to digest readers replying?) Note 3, all the lists archives can be searched at once, by going to the Rootsweb Home page, and selecting Mailing lists from the top bar menu On the following page is a Find a list search box on the right and a Search List Archives box on the left but keep in mind the archives are being rebuilt so will not return full results for the time being But the good news is the list archives are working, albeit not as clearly as they were in the old system Thats progress eh ;-) -- Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK)
