WDYTYA Live Requests

Hi MC, just keep pressing the ;-) button,that does the trick

But at least this time, doesn't look like I've been reported YET :-D

Wish there was a "like" button Flip ;-)

No, don't think you;re missing anything Wisechild - bit of a damp squid really! :-D

I'd rather prefer to help the real people - not just those who show up at a publicity event - not that it looks like many showed up!

Sorry, I'm probably going to be reported again for being negative or abusive, but who cares :-P

There doesn´t seem to have been very much activity on the board compared with last year.......or am I missing something too :-0 :-0 :-0

If the board is temporary, where will the weekend visitors to WDYTYA find their posts and how can we add further information, as presumably GR staff will lock the board to prevent it developing into an extra query board after this weekend?

...or have I missed something...?

Took me ages to find the link yesterday.
Finally found it on the Genes post at the top of Find Ancestors.
Genes don´t want too many people getting an extra month´s sub obviously.
Also found several that were already on the boards with lots of existing input from members.
Surely it wouldn´t be too taxing for the team to ask whether the query had been posted before & save us wasting our time.

Oh dear

So the Team had better remove their duplicate post - once on this board and also on Find Ancestors

;-)

Can I ask the team ( and warn helpers!) to check whether enquiries have been made by posters before.

I wasted a lot of time today searching records only to discover that a huge amount of work had already been done on the search by helpers on the FA board several years ago

Why is the link to this board not shown on General Chat and Genealogy Chat Boards ?

Barbara,

This is not a lookup board for members but for people who are attending WDYTA.

Would be better to place this on Find Ancestors Board.

Hi everyone, sorry for any confusion! We have now added the link to the board in our original posts on Find Ancestors and Announcements.

The Genes team

I'm happy to help if I can.

Thank goodness for fellow helpers to enable us to do that. I was wandering and wondering too.

Gwyn

Yep, a reeeeeeal clever place to put it :-)
Thanks to Joy and Choccy I'm here, otherwise would not have found it in a month of blue moons . :-D

:-S ;-)

1 month extension to their membership

Have a great day GR. Working today so see you later. LK :-D

Need radar to find this. Good morning Choccy......

It will be interesting to see how it works this year.

LK, I like that idea too..........not just because it is hoped that more people will find out how brilliant the help on the board can be, but because it should save me some work if people are advised on how to respond to help given them. :-D ;-)

Glad I had my Sherlock Holmes hat on ! :-D

"We will be sending every person who posts a question home with an instruction sheet on how to find their posts again, and how to ask further questions. we hope this will encourage more people to realise the value of the boards."
I like this idea. :-D

it will be chaos if it is not threaded ......

................. unless a responder always C&Ps the question, and answers all in the same post.


Not well thought out, methinks!


the people asking questions at WDYTYA may have a hard time working their way through this Board to find their question!

Suppose the reply will have to C & P to the question ........... would that work

my baby Hedgehog.... is so cute
