That wasn't how I remember Anns post on the subject It was more along the lines of those smaller lists with no posts for several months or more, I do not recall admins or lack thereof being mentioned And it was to close those lists from further posts and subscribers, not delete them, the archives for all lists would remain available Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 02/01/2019 19:04, Jim Jackson wrote: > Does this mean there will be no list of Lists available for adoption?

I see what you mean Jim Other surname letters appear to show the complete list but B doesn't There is a BOON and BOONE lists and a BOONE-DANIEL-KY none of which appear under the B listings M also seems short stopping at MCDONALD How many others I haven't checked, looked like a glitch in the search results not showing page 2 etc Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 02/01/2019 19:24, Jim Jackson wrote: > I noticed, when clicking on "B" for the list of "B" surname lists, that the > last name given is "Birdwell" with no visible means of going to the next > page.

I noticed, when clicking on "B" for the list of "B" surname lists, that the last name given is "Birdwell" with no visible means of going to the next page. Does anyone know how to get past "Birdwell"? ("Boone" for example) Jim

Does this mean there will be no list of Lists available for adoption? All un-adminned lists will be deleted? Jim As to what make the lists in active - no takers for admin despite announcements. David Samuelsen

I believe the lists were down starting 12/31/2018 before 7:40 PM and continuing for at least 18 - 20 hours.  When they came back up prior posts were released by MailMan.  The time shown on the e-mails is the time they were sent by the poster. The lists might have been down for almost 2 days, but I'm not sure.

still living in dinosaur age? Technology moved forward and continue to forward. Even operating systems have to be updated.

I need instructions on how to turn the archive feature off of my mailing list. Thanks, DABF

So strange, as I've had posts on 3 of my lists from people in the time frame you are talking about. 1 name oriented, and 2 location oriented.

Our Listowner Tools page is blank. Anyone know why? Jerry

Bull.! In the old lists settings the setting for list or private replies was in the rootsweb mail man setting. Plus a blurb about why not to use the reply to list. Not all people use Thunderbird. Not all phones have reply to options. Not all phones or tablets give a choice of email program to use. Best bet. Fix the old settings or reninstall the mailman that works?

not in my case. I have both options and visible in my mailer. Thunderbird, and it shows both settings. The setting is in your mailer, not Mailman. Always check your mailer options after major updates by mailers (Mozilla for Tunderbird and Firefox), Gmail by Google, etc. David Samuelsen On 12/28/2018 3:40 PM, Mary Russell wrote: > OMG.

The whole thing and program has the ... Duh?... Value. Way too long to fix what Brian built. Its a core issue.

Anne made one thing clear. NO archived messages will be deleted. They are preserved. As to what make the lists in active - no takers for admin despite announcements.

Mike, It's your ISP. ATT is notorious for repeated problems. Not in my lists, they are on holiday schedule - fewer posts. Now I am seeing uplick this morning. David Samuelsen On 1/1/2019 4:48 AM, Mike Flannigan wrote: > > I suspect you already know this, but the lists > are down again. > > > Mike

Slow holiday time. I see some posts between Dec 25 and Jan 1. Very quiet holiday time.

I wish I knew Like most large companies, communication is not a strong point with them Whether taken down for maintenance for which they could forewarn us, or due to a breakdown of software or hardware, they rarely if ever inform us why and what actions have been taken Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 02/01/2019 10:12, Malcolm Austen wrote: > On Wed, 02 Jan 2019 10:04:36 -0000, Nivard Ovington > <ovington.one@gmail.com> wrote: > >> The lists have been down since the 30/31st of December, so can't say >> why your posts haven't reached their destination before that > > For any known reason?
