I vaguely remember a name sort. We definitely had a thread sort. Now we only have a date sort. Which is pretty much useless. The point of archives is to provide access as much as possible to further one's research, but now we have no way to easily connect the dots :-(. Mary P.S. I assume that we can no longer download the archives because they were in mbx format which few if any of us could use.

I can throw it on the list, sure. But it is way, way down on the list. The list is so very long and covers all of the RootsWeb products.

We disabled the download after listening to the people on this list. People can access the information on the site. The archives are very important to this product staying around -- they bring people in via google search. Ad revenue and maybe will get people interested in the list and be subscribing to the lists. Don't look at them from an admin point of view but a user point of view.

Since you are an admin, I assume you have registered, so just go to your list of subscriptions and click the list options in the right hand column next to the name of the list you want to change. Select a different registered address from the drop-down list and BINGO, your subscription address to that list has been changed. Pat A.

The board is still in the list. I wasn't subcribed but I just did. I guess new users have to be moderated. I haven't got a confirm message. There is also a board-users list. I was already a member of it. I had to change some of my email addresses last fall and subscribed with the new address, but so far no message or a message from the admin.

I cannot see a way of sorting archives by thread/date/name as under the old system. Neither can they by downloaded (I could a week a so ago). At the moment they are neither use nor ornament. Lin

Please put that on the list of things to change. We need to be able to easily tell someone why his/her post is being rejected. Writing a note after the rejection is a waste of our time when we know we can both reject the post and give a reason for it at one time via MailMan.

HEAR, HEAR! We need to be able to tell a person why a message is rejected and we shouldn't have to jump through hoops to do it. If the option to return a note to the writer was possible with the old MailMan, surely it would be possible to add that option to the new version.

The Board Admins list hasn't seemed to work for quite a while. I think somebody ended it, which is a terrible shame.

Also the page is incomplete with out that field may as well removed the option if its not going to do what it should.

They are exactly the same boards, Ancestry own Rootsweb If you can work out a way to access the boards you admin other than via Ancestry, you are a better man than I Gunga Din ;-) Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 17-Apr-18 8:31 PM, Timothy Stowell wrote: > Hi Nivard, > > I gathered from your message that that was http://www.ancestry.com - which > is a different logon that what I have for Rootsweb.

Hi Nivard, I gathered from your message that that was http://www.ancestry.com - which is a different logon that what I have for Rootsweb. While I also gather that the boards on Ancestry and the ones on Rootsweb are basically the same, I believe they are accessed differently. Best I know I was only admin for boards on Rootsweb.

Thats just what I did. But the member was making it look like we can't follow directions because that field was not filled in. I will not make a problem of this. Just wont use it.

I am really sorry because I have been trying to stay out of this debate BUT this is RIDICULOUS. Why on earth would TPTB expect LOs to spend time creating a new message from their own email account, to do this? It doubles (and more) the work. Previously we would select reject, a bog standard statement would appear something like "Your message has been reviewed by the listowner and deemed unsuitable for the list/ is too big" and we would quickly edit this to say "you posted in HTML, please send again in plain text" or whatever....and hit submit. It seems now we are expected to go to the held messages, copy the email address and click reject and then open our email programme, paste the address, put a subject line "Your message to XXX list" and then start a whole email Dear BLAH (assuming we know who 191police @ hotmail.com is) I have just rejected your message (might need more detail if they have sent more than 1) because blahh blahh, include the solution, put in some closing phrase and sign it and send it. I ABSOLUTELY get that software is what it is, but I also know I own a handful of "quiet" lists and work full time. With respect to Anne, Valorie et al who are clearly trying to be helpful I am starting to feel paranoid that RW are doing this deliberately so we all get so sick of it we bail and they can then close down all the lists (which begs the question why upgrade). I would like to remind RW that we are VOLUNTEERS and should be a) treated with respect and b) supported to make our jobs as easy as possible, not add to our workload. BTW, Dan, I too remember clearly being told not to use BCC on any emails to any lists! I would like to ask that the decision not to change this ability is reviewed.
