I can get to the page that let's me select the message boards, but then I get a sign-in page for Ancestry. Are the rootsweb pages no longer free?

Well, I get a "Page Not Found" page for all of my county message boards. I just hope they are still working on the problems.

The RW message boards are still down. I will check with the RW folks tomorrow about a time frame for functionality.

I just switched all my query links to go to Gen Forum. Whenever RW gets it all back online, I will add them and give the patrons 2 choices.

You can get a free account with Ancestry to log into the pages you do want to see. They're changing a lot of the features to read-only. So, it isn't just the attack that has them down, they're re-working some of the pages. I find it extremely humorous that they spent so much time reassuring everyone that all the free sites they were acquiring would never change and they've made them all essentially useless or no longer free.   Gina Heffernan Rusk Co, Texas http://www.cnocandoire.com/ ________________________________ From: Christine Morton <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, June 28, 2014 9:41 AM Subject: Re: [TXGEN] Rootsweb is down I can get to the page that let's me select the message boards, but then I get a sign-in page for Ancestry.
