Hi Mary Just sorted my own Query Board admin access. So long as you know your User Name for the Query Board sign-in, use the “Forgot” link at the Message Boards sign-up screen and after creating a new Password, you should be taken to your admin area. If that doesn’t work or it asks you for the old (forgotten) password, you will need to contact [email protected] and explain the problem - give them your user-name, and the related e-mail address - you should also say if one or both is/are the same as you use for the mailing list or not.

Once upon a time, when we logged into Rootsweb, we saw our own universal "Rootsweb of Things". Lists we were subscribed to, list we "owned", boards we subscribed to, boards we admined, web pages we admined (Genweb mostly) and a few assorted other things. From that page, we went to wherever in the Rootsweb/Ancestry universe we wanted to go. In the best of all possible worlds, we would need that page back..(And, by all means, add the WorldConnect databases we own) -Unc -----Original Message----- From: Peter D Cook [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, April 08, 2018 6:53 AM To: List-Owners (D) List Cc: Mary D.

However, I think until the rest of the site has been evaluated and restored, we are unlikely to get our wish granted. After -- maybe!

That will eventually come back. But there are a whole lot of things to do between that event and now.
