You can now search and post all types of data as follows: What used to be covered by 7 boards in a suite is now consolidated onto one master board. This does not remove any of the functionality of having the 7 separate boards as the one board gives you the option of selecting a 'category' when posting. If you are posting a query or general message you need do nothing with the category drop down menu. if you are posting data, select the appropriate data type from the menu when posting. By selecting the data type when posting, you enable board searchers to find your post under this specific data type. Search ONLY for a specific data type without all the hassles associated with moving from one board to another or searching separate boards individually--all of the features of 7 boards are rolled into one for ease and convenience. Also, note that the drop down menu includes a new expanded selection of data types!!! Here are the marriage, birth, death, cemetery, etc. boards you've all been wanting in category selection. Hope this helps! Joan RootsWeb
