OOOhh - and when you have changed the heading and submitted, you can then add a message in the box at the bottom to say something like 'more help needed please' and submit.

This will them bring your thread back up to the top of the board.

No - you won't be re-submitting.

Go to your thread and go to the very first post!

Do not click on delete or the whole thing will disappear!

Click on edit and you can then change the wording of your title, then submit.

If you have problems - send me a pm.

what i do, with my post. is to copy and paste them to a Microsoft office document , then save under a title of my accestor this allows me to work with them offline. to find them again i just have to look in my documents folder. they are then save alphabeticaly

But doesnt this mean that it will be resubmitted because I wouldnt want members wasting their time looking up the info again.

Hi, Ive been looking through my threads of which Ive loads. Early on in Genes I just use to put 1871 census search or 1861 census search etc and now to find out who I was asking about I have to trawl through them all. Is there any way of adding the name to the title - ive tried but it only says preview or submit which I obviously dont want to do. Thanks
