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
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.

I was actually looking at them from a user point of view. How can you search for something when you may not know what you are looking for; the thread is non existent the entries take up most of the pages. I gave up in the end.

I am very much in favour of the lists archives But they need to be in a usable state, which at present they are not One major thing that I haven't seen mention is the absence of email addresses in the archives Over the years I have been contacted and have contacted a great many people via their email address, as a great many researchers join a list then leave after a period, so if all we can do is reply to an archived list post, it is highly unlikely to be seen by them I assume the default to no email addresses showing is to cover Ancestrys back side re data protection? but as all subscribers to Rootsweb lists knew their posts were archived with their email address it seems rather pointless hiding them now Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 18-Apr-18 12:12 AM, Anne Gillespie Mitchell wrote: > 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.

Hi Nivard, I, too, have had contacts years later about items I had posted. I agree that it might continue to be handy to have the email addy for me right there but I would almost prefer that we don't so as to make the questioner ask for more info on the list rather than off the list. That has perhaps a greater benefit for all the subbers?

People have the option of making their email addresses visible via member options. However, for spam and security reasons it will not be the default.

Some people see it as viewing rootsweb. Not the whole world viewing rootsweb. And what they might be using rootsweb online data for. People don't like spam but don't realize having addresses in the open. Any one in the world can target them for many reasons. Spammer scammers are accessing everything on the internet and its always in the news. Some people never know they been compromised because those places never tell anybody they were compromised some times years later like yahoo did. You want your address out there on rootsweb open servers? Go ahead.
