Okay. The Message Types are the default which is query, and the data categories which are: Bible, Biography, Birth, Cemetery, Census, Death, Deed, Immigration, Lookup, Marriage, Military, Obituary, Pension, Will. Keep in mind that with the drop-down menu feature it will be easy to add other data types if we later deem necessary--unlike adding new BOARD types themselves. > > *STILL* not answered: the option to shut off queries posted to any > bios, obits, pensions, etc other than the query board itself - > specifically individually since some CCs allow queries to wills and > not other boards as long as it is revelant to THAT will (or to THAT > bio or to THAT obit). The new system should solve that issue completely. The poster can reply to an Obituary and still classify the response as a query. This should virtually eliminate the unwanted query response to data post problem. In a search for Obits ONLY those posts categorized as Obits will show up--not the responses tagged as queries. > > The idea of the board admin have to use user-id and password to post > transcribed bios, obits, etc *EACH TIME* really stinks.

I have tried this morning to go to the special URL from the msg sent yesterday. All that is on this page is a blue bar with the following links. Request Board Topic | Message Board Rules | Message Board FAQ | Message Board Help I can reach a Login screen which requests username and password. I know what my password is for my Genconnect boards, but those boards never required a username. No matter what I try, I'm rejected. Where on this limited screen does it recognize me as a Board admin and not a regular user? And what am I supposed to enter for username? Still not a happy camper, Nel
