When you go to Rootsweb, the Queries GenConnect Boards for every county and surname take you directly to the new Message Boards. If you try to click to go to the Obituaries or Wills or the other separate Boards, you are taken to a generic index page forcing you to locate the county or surname. When you make a post or when using the new advance search feature, you can specify a topic/category (and there are new categories available) to search only those messages, but there are no longer any separate boards. The other thing is that, in order to POST anything, you MUST be registered. Be certain you are registering for using the Boards and not subscribing to Ancestry. If they ask for your credit card number, you are filling out the wrong form to register to use the new Message Boards <grin>! Also, try to remember to actually LOG OUT when you leave as that process sends some blank cookies into your browser's RAM memory. I am working on starting manual pages for our website, in which anyone wishing to have a Bio or Obit posted, could send them directly to me, and I would post them manually. Hope all this is not too confusing. Barbra Mercer Co. Coordinator
