The same can be said of this site

http://www.mocavo.com

I entered a name and found a very old posting of mine on Ancestry and also myfamily.com and affiliates

seems they are all at it

Joy Kentish Maid ... I was doing a google search for some terms in a thread on living relatives because I was sure I had seen the search before ... google works a lot faster than the search function here .... and the living relatives thread in question showed up in the board list for the living relatives mirror on that site ... so of course I clicked :-)

we're guinea pigs !

and heck we might even benefit from the 'developments' ?

Hi guys,

I have also written a reply on the suggestions board but just want to make everyone aware that there are absolutely no plans to merge our boards with Find My Past. The url in question takes you to a test version of the FMP Ireland site (which is why it begins with dev. because this is where new features are developed) where the FMP developers are currently building new boards.

They are using the Genes boards as a base, but when complete, these boards will be totally separate.

Many thanks,

Katie - The Genes Team

How did you find it?

chrissiex Report 25 Jul 2011 14:33

it seems to have been, doesn't it ?

I do think the site I found is just a development site, if you look there are a couple of posts from staff

it may be just for 'playing' with this site and possible changes ...

It'll do that for everyone Ginnie.

I'm wondering if Chris's thread on genealogy chat has been deleted?

I am not a member of FMP it states on the board 'log in to reply' can someone please see if that does work? Unless I have misread it.

Hmmmm!


Has anyone suggested on the suggestions board that an explanation be given?

I thought since Phil joined us we were getting somewhere but it appears not.

That's what I'm talking about Jiminy :-(
I wish they'd concentrate their efforts on making this site work - the issue over random discounts hasn't been admitted yet.

I deleted one of my posts on GR but it still appears on FMP - I don't need an explanation - but would this mean we are unable to delete our posts on FMP without paying?

Rose, I agree, it would have been nice to be informed but then courtesy to paying members has never been top of the tree with GR. :-( :-P

Thankyou for posting this Chrissie :-)

I wasn't surprised to see that there seem to be plans afoot to merge in some way, but I do think it would have been better of GR to inform us that our posts here would be lifted..

Yes anything we post is 'findable' by anyone via google...but you do have to have some idea of what to look for if you are not just looking at GR itself.

Would have been a nice thought if GR had said for example 'from 1st July your posts will be shown also on FMP boards we are developing'...or words to that effect.

That it is still in the design stage is apparent from the lack of posts on other boards...apart from a couple by ' design staff' I assume.

try clicking on a posters name on FMP. :-S

GR need to explain this :-(

It would have been nice if they had the decency to let GR members no that their post would appear on their other sites,

just shows that GR members opinions count for nothing as i cannot remember being asked about this
