Hi All: I have been wondering why there are delays from the time I post something until the message is sent out from rootsweb to the Lovelace list.... I got a direct email from Greg explaining what the issues are and he asked me to pass it along to the list. Thanks for the update Greg! Bob. >From Greg: “Hopefully you'll get this. The list continues to have massive problems. Whenever you post to the list, the post(s) go into the moderation queue, even though it says "the poster of this message is now a member of the list", and they wait there until I give them the OK to be posted. Whenever I post to the list, nothing ever shows up, even in the list archives. I've about had it with them. The helpdesk will only tell me that they are working on the problems and that they have no timeline for when the problems will be fixed, at the same time saying how sorry they are that there are problems. So, if you would, post a message to the list saying there are still massive problems, and that I cannot post anything, and that I am indeed still alive. Thanks. And then I'll check the moderation pane on the listowners interface and OK the message to go through. Sheesh...”
