There's a list that's not on the list to be adopted however if it does become available I would love to be able to adopt it. It's the Chase list. Thanks, Lisa -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, March 28, 2018 6:49 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [LO]Mailing List Update Mar 28 Assuming everyone on this list is a list owner, you should have subscribed to rootsweb-listowners-annoucements. If you weren't let me know. There are about 9900 listowners. This list reaches about 400! I have a feeling there are a lot of list owners who have abandoned their lists. On the rootsweb-listowners-announcements, a lengthy email was sent, please read. One thing you will find there is a link to a functioning adopt a list tool. Currently about 4500 lists, I expect that number to go up as I clear out dead emails and people who don't want to register. http://home.rootsweb.ancestry.com/lists/orphanedlists Next up, we are working on editing tools for the welcome message.

Here's a strange one. I edited the description for Eng-Wiltshire to say "ENG-WILTSHIRE is a mailing list for anyone with genealogical interests in the English county of Wiltshire" and it started turning up in the TO field of list messages. Once I removed it from the description, it reverted back the list address. I made no changes to the Subject prefix or the Display name.

I remember this lady. I sent notice about lists back online and need to register only once if not already done so and remind them to check their preference settings to get copy back from list.

If the CSV download contained more detail than just the email address I would agree with you but it doesn't You can change the view of subscribers to 200 per page So its relatively easy to go through them and easier than downloading a separate list IMHO Of course a subscriber list as we had would be better with at least name and email address Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 06-Apr-18 11:07 PM, Pat Asher wrote: > At 05:53 PM 4/6/2018, Susie Zada wrote: >> Trying to think about the glass half full - shouldn't need the CSV >> Export button > > I have to disagree that a CSV download option is not necessary.

And then if Gene's suggestion doesn't sort it out, get them to post again, and this time BCC you so you can see where it's going. Important that it's a BCC, not a CC, otherwise Mailman won't send you the list copy. BTW, you do not have to have registered with the new system to post to a list, if I understand it correctly. Registration is only compulsory for list owners.

This subscriber is moderated on the one of my lists to which they subscribe. They far too often post stuff like this, with the occasional on-topic post. Complete balderdash. Valorie PS: I wish that listowners would stop telling subscribers they *have* to register. They only need to register if they want to control their own subscriptions.
