I don't think they all do - I've responded to loads recently and not heard a thing - on the thread. |

It's a shame though - there must be loads of people out there posting their requests and we find their info and they don't know that we've found it ....! Then they must think we're all really rude and unhelpul then I expect they don't bother renewing their subs ... then when their names pop up in our hot matches and we contact them ... no response 'cos they've gorn! What a game! |

I was PMd by a newbie the other day asking for look ups ,I too pointed out that they should be placing their request on the thread, she then PMd me back to apologise...... I then PMd her explaining the whole set up on here..... only post on one board.....hang around after posting to reply to any questions..... always give as much info as possible.....and always go back to your threads when you next return to the site to see if theres any added info you need to deal with....I just got the impression the lady concerned hadn`t a clue where to start...its a pity GR don`t put a few pointers in large letters at the top of each board....it may avoid all this confusion, I sometimes get the impression that some of the newbies are afraid of getting it all wrong so don`t place the correct info with the query in the 1st place,and some simply don`t know how to return th their threads so don`t bother.....its a shame as it all just leads to frustration all round. |

You'd think GR could send an explanatory e-mail when they first sign up. A few very simple "rules of posting" - it wouldn't take much would it - and then we could all say "go read your rules" - might help! |

The Blank white space at the top is begging for simple instructions, now when you pass the cursor over tabs at the top more explanations come up,, so they have realised the whole page design is rubbish and fumbled another cover up ! |

It took me about about a week discover how to find the census & Ancestry BMD's, 3 months to discover that the IGI wasn't just a whole list of numbers & about year to find GR's boards! |
