Mary, that doesn't work for me. RootsWeb gives no option of logging in except for the Mailing Lists. And the only way for me to get to the Message Boards on RW is by clicking onto that tab on the homepage, and drill down through the Boards until I get to the ones I want. Are any of the rest of you having this issue? Deloris Williams -----Original Message----- From: Mary D.

Deloris, I beg to differ, but the boards and admin functions are indeed present on the Rootsweb interface. You just need to be logged in to Rootsweb using an account that has the same email address included. I managed to reach one of my boards in admin mode from the Rootsweb side by clicking on the "Admin Center" link at the bottom of the page when looking at the Message Board page. I also see my list of favorite boards there as well.

Hello. I sent a message to this list at about 2249 Friday local time here (UTC+0800) and again at about 0357 Saturday local time here (UTC+0800), after it appeared to have not gone through the mailing list when sent the firwst time, and I did not get a copy of it through the list, for either attempt to post it to the list. I have, however, received a message stating that it was rejected by the List Administrator of this list. I have seen a reply to my message, that quotes part of what I had sent, and so, it appears that only part of my message, was allowed through. I do not know therefore, what has happened regarding the message that I had tried to post, of which, only the first couple of paragrapghs, appear to have been allowed through to the list. When the most recent upheaval to the mailing lists, occurred, and we were told that we are required to create new accounts, with new passwords, and, to check account settings, such as whether we get copies of messages that we post to lists, I created a new account, as required, and, set my global parameter to cause me to be sent copies of all posts that I make to mailing lists. I have received copies from the mailing lists, of posts that I have made to other lists, so, I am wondering whether this list is configured to prevent us from getting copies of what we post to the list, that is sent to other subscribers,or, otherwise, what has happened to the post that I had tried to post to the mailing list, for which I received notification that it was rejected by the List Administrator. The particular post that I sent, was, I believe, quite important, and, if it was censored, it is not good. -- Bret Busby Armadale West Australia ..............

Not all lists have mal-formed digest. I won't try to assume why they do or don't work properly on some lists. I do know between installation of a new entity and what the rootsweb teem is faced with and trying to do is far from the norm of what mailman 3 and mailman 2.7 were supposed to do. Upgrading to 3 might have been a bigger step to use for now. Going from the very old version of the beginning to man 2.7 was causing enough problems we were still trying to set up our lists from that move then along came 3.0 At the last installment we had someone who understood how mailman worked. He had added many internal commands. If you do not have or are not a sudo or python programmer it will not be easy to make it smooth. If one thing at a time is a focus. Then move one at a time out of the query. If digest is not working on some lists. Make a note ( digest unavailable at this time) to those and find a solution in time. All lists under this new system are going to have anomolies and one at a time can be resolved. Anne said she has a long list. She needs to let us know what part her focus is on each time and we can all follow up in schedule for her. I stopped posting because I really don't think I have anything to add or subtract from what everyone else is posting. Mainly. They seem to have more to chew mixing the last 2 mailman installs to the present. If something don't work. Just make a polite note once and go about what does work. We have all added some of our frustrating comments and I bet were dually noted. As my self included. We can thank 2 things now . LO works. Held messsges is blocking real spam from the lists. I feel the security setting might be a little high and catches members. Easy enough to approve for now. I did notice on my thunderbird catches all messages from Anne in the spam trap. ? Curious about that? As for complaints this admin has none. I am working on what ever needs to be. Mello n calmly. Dan M - high desert Ol'Dusty.

The "new" Rootsweb system digests are mal-formed and besides running the messages together they contain all the transmission headers. They are almost impossible to read and basically unusable for normal archive retrieval. The transmission garbage makes them excessively large in size. I have dealt with the issue by changing to Regular delivery and routing all the LO mail into a separate mailbox for screening. I do not use any of the major email providers and operate all of my mailboxes under my own domains. I manage over 25 Mailman installations and do not have this problem, however none of them are Mailman 3.0. We appreciate your involvement in maintaining and sustaining Rootsweb. I believe your management has made retaining this service worthwhile and I believe all of the List Owners owe you a big Thank You.

I am one of those people who has had a rootsweb freepages web page for years and miss it terribly. I am on the verge of transferring it to somewhere other than rootsweb. I know you said that restoring the web pages is "next".........but can you give me just a little more incentive to hold off moving my web page........does "next" mean weeks? months? years? Give an old woman some hope, will ya?

This is usually happening with AOL accounts, though I am sure that it is happening with other providers as well. It is not something we can fix on our side. Your readers should report to their providers, get individual emails, or use a different provider such as gmail or outlook.

With the comments below in mind: And if Bret covered this in his comments, please overlook my missing it. IF various spellings were to be lumped together, it would be most helpful for a search engine geared for searches of the variant spellings. That is, if I do a search for Buzbee the result would be to be led to the Busby list with explanation that Buzbee is a variant to be found in this list. That would help prevent a "No such list found" message when searching a variant. Jim Quoting Bret: "I think that the whole idea, is one that should be treated with extreme caution. For example, there are the Busby lists, the Buzbee list, and the Buzby list. Similarly, there are the Moreton list, the Morten list, and the Morton list. Now, if someone wants to do genealogical research, and, finds that no list exists for the particular spelling of the name, then the person may either give up on genealogical research, or, give up on the Rootsweb genealogy lists, as a resource for genealogical research. And, an example that I sometimes cite for people, is that one of my ancestors, has his name spelled at least seven different ways; a number of different ways for the personal name, and, a number of different ways, for the family name, depending on which particular record applies. Is the intent, to cause people to abandon genealogical research, by making it unecessarily difficult for us?"

You said in your post "I realize this is the wrong list to discuss the BOARDS on" and went on to ask a question (a query), so I suggested a list that might be more appropriate. That's all.
