Hi Nivard, Thanks for your reply :) I can see my post on the Group.io list however not on the Rootsweb list. Even a search using 'Meadows' did not bring it up in the results - https://lists.rootsweb.com/hyperkitty/search?mlist=suffolk%40rootsweb.com&q=MEADOWS Thanks, Jen. ------ Original Message ------ On: 19/01/2020 8:Nivard Ovington wrote: Subject: Re: Posting new messages to this list >Hi Jen > >Not Peter its me now ;-) > >Your message was posted 14th Jan 2020 > >So all is well :-) > >Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > >On 19/01/2020 08:48, Jenny Meadows wrote: >>Hi Peter, >> >>I thought I'd repost my surnames to this list again before it closes >>however it doesn't look like it got through (see below).

Hi Jen (and all) The archives of the lists are very different to how they once were (in a bad way) after the change of Mailman software a while back Email addresses of posters were removed for one thing, presumably to comply with GDPR (which means the finder of an archived post cannot contact the poster, unless the poster includes an email address *in* the body of the post, tests I have done show the email addresses posted remain in the archives for now, but may be removed, so I would say post in the fashion of XXXXX AT YYYYYY . com as well) But also the layout of the archives, only the original post is listed, all replies to it are collapsed, you have to click the first post to expand them Unfortunately you have done what so many others have done, you replied to a post, then deleted the text and added your own, then added your own subject line, it looks like a new post with none of the original post but in reality its part of the original posts thread See <https://lists.rootsweb.com/hyperkitty/list/suffolk.rootsweb.com/thread/35495364/> Yours is the third post, I received it as I said on the 14th Jan Added to that there is a problem with the search of the archives If you browse the archives all posts will show (if you expand each thread) But no matter what you search for the "latest" result is 1 year and 4 months ago They say they will fix it but I have my doubts So browsing is fine, searching the last year and four months is not We know that but anyone searching the archives in the future almost certainly won't which is a pity If I were you Jen I would create a new email, address it and give it the subject line you gave your previous, add the text and send it again That way it will be in the archives visible if browsed If anyone else has done the same, I would suggest they also repost with a new email Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 20/01/2020 00:09, Jenny Meadows wrote: > Hi Nivard, > > Thanks for your reply :) I can see my post on the Group.io list however > not on the Rootsweb list.  Even a search using 'Meadows' did not bring > it up in the results - > https://lists.rootsweb.com/hyperkitty/search?mlist=suffolk%40rootsweb.com&q=MEADOWS > > > Thanks, > Jen.
