I would also find this useful. I checked several pages of "uncertain" characters ( marked as _) at my nearest LDS centre on Thursday. I amended some of the files yesterday am but left the remainder for today and played around with my "home page" instead as I thought I had another few days before update started.

Maureen My suggestion is to upload your files as soon as you complete or amend them. I can well imagine what is going to happen with a message on the FreeBMD site along the following lines. For example lets assume that the message quotes, "Update due to start 26 October". For whatever reason lets suppose that the update didn't start on 26 October, we will then be inundated with "has the update started" or "why hasn't the update started".

Of course usually there is a message that says when the rebuild is due to finish, and I always try to get my monthly allocation uploaded a fortnight before this date - this usually gets them in on time. This time there was still the apology about the problems encountered, so I too got caught out:-) Sheelagh ----- Original Message ----- From: "Allan Raymond" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, October 27, 2001 1:15 PM Subject: Re: DB Rebuild > Maureen > > My suggestion is to upload your files as soon as you complete or amend them. > > I can well imagine what is going to happen with a message on the FreeBMD site > along the following lines. > > For example lets assume that the message quotes, "Update due to start 26 October". > > For whatever reason lets suppose that the update didn't start on 26 October, we > will then be inundated with "has the update started" or "why hasn't the update > started". > > Allan Raymond > [email protected] > http://www.btinternet.com/~allan_raymond/Monarchies_of_Europe.htm > FreeBMD - putting birth marriages and deaths on the Internet > http://FreeBMD.rootsweb.com/ > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Maureen Leadbeater" <[email protected]> > To: <[email protected]> > Sent: 27 October 2001 08:45 > Subject: Re: DB Rebuild > > > I would also find this useful. > I checked several pages of "uncertain" characters ( marked as _) at my > nearest LDS centre on Thursday.
