    1. [PABUCKS-L] New GenConnect Boards Problems
    2. Judy Jackson
    3. Hi All This message (part of it) was sented to the Paschuyl list by Barb Lavin who handles the genconnect boards for that county. With her permission I am posting it to the Pabucks list. Since I manage the genconnect boards for Bucks County PA. According to the rootsweb/ancestry.com staff the boards are now back to functioning I would recommded at this time do not post to these boards yet. Here are her reasons why and I do agree with them reasons 1) I have no way at this moment to maintain the boards as a volunteer for the county - I not only maintain the website(s) but I am the admin of these boards. I haven't been able to log- in to be the admin so can't do anything to help or maintain. (I have manage to log into the Bucks Co boards site but still not sure of all the ins and outs of managing the baords). 2) If any of you remember Feb when GC "failed" all the messages for Feb were lost - this means possibly these will be lost as well - something I don't want to see happen as each of your queries, etc are important. 3)Also some of the bugs have not been worked out and won't be for awhile. The system they have can't even handle the load of the volunteers trying to access the boards - in USGW there is approx 1500 of us. If they can't handle the overload of 1500 people they won't be able to handle the mega questions you guys have. So this is what I am proposing- please hold off until I find it is safe and I can enter the boards. I have no idea how they work - although they've told us. The URL (main one) will be changing as possibly the the other boards. They have combined the boards into one local giving you a drop down menu for where you would like to go. All of this takes time to change - The boards can be searched and I'll be changing the url on the Bucks Co page and soon as I know for sure what the url is. I think if you click on the query board it will take you to the new Bucks County boards. But any of the others will just take you to just a generic message board and not Bucks County. Thank you for your cooperation and your patience Judy Bucks County GenConnect boards manager and Bucks Co PaGenWeb coordinator. ===== Bucks Co.
