Received Ron -----Original Message----- From: Ravenstone Sent: Sunday, November 06, 2016 2:28 PM To: List - NZ Messages Subject: [nz] Information Hi List, For nearly 18 months I have not had any access to any of the 20 + Lists that I was subscribed to. Over this period of time I have had many reasons told to me, as why I could not Post to any Lists, a book on this would fill volumes. When I saw the first message come onto the New Zealand List, I contact the Manager of Rootsweb to let them know that I was receiving messages. The Manager advised me that they were bringing back on line, List by List. So this may take sometime. Todate I can only see the following Lists :- New Zealand, Leicester, London, Bristol and Districts, New Zealand Memories, and Kent. If anyone has more updates, I would like to hear from them. The reason for this, is that over a the 18 months, various Admins have tried to help resolve this problem, and they have reset the pass word that I was using. Now the only way I will know if I can post a message, is if someone tells me that particular List is working, and I can not post a message to it. This message will be posted to all the above Lists. Cheers Ron Glad to be back.

Hi Ron, Rootsweb have been doing some major maintenance work on their servers, and it has been a long, slow, painful process affecting more than just the lists. The lists are coming back online now as the server they're hosted on is ready. I'm guessing that not all List Owners/Admins of the Rootsweb lists are aware of what has been happening. They don't all subscribe to the Listowners' mailing list, and that list, like all the others, has been offline for a time. That one is now working, too. Another avenue of information, which is independent and therefore not affected by the maintenance work, is Rootsweb's Facebook group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/17834741205/ People ask genealogy questions there, but it has also been a place to keep in touch with one another about Rootsweb itself. Hope this helps. :-) Kind Regards, Wendy (Not the admin for this list, but an admin for others) Ravenstone wrote on 6/11/2016 16:28: > Hi List, > > For nearly 18 months I have not had any access to any of the 20 + > Lists that > I was subscribed to. > Over this period of time I have had many reasons told to me, as why I > could > not Post to any Lists, a book on this would fill volumes. > When I saw the first message come onto the New Zealand List, I contact > the > Manager of Rootsweb to let them know that I was receiving messages. > The Manager advised me that they were bringing back on line, List by > List. > So this may take sometime. > Todate I can only see the following Lists :- New Zealand, Leicester, > London, > Bristol and Districts, New Zealand Memories, and Kent. > > If anyone has more updates, I would like to hear from them.
