New surname interests not showing on postings
« on: Wednesday 23 May 07 07:50 UTC (UK) »

Hello again to the Techno Folks

I'm sure you've had this question from someone else before but because I can't see it on the first page am going to ask for some advise.

As I'm discovering more about my family tree the surname interests have increased.  I went in yesterday and added two more surnames.  After entering them I couldn't see them on the list in my postings - I checked that they were correctly entered and it seems that they were.  I then wondered if I had to exit the system and turn the computer off.  I did that last night obviously.  This morning the new surname interests have not been added to the bottom of my postings.  I've checked and they are still where I added them in the add surname and edit surname options area.

Can anyone advise why I can't see the new entries on my postings - the new names are Henderson and Brodie.

One last piece of information that may be a clue - I have not changed my user name Northerngirl but did change it from all block capitals (NORTHERNGIRL) to just the Capital N for Northerngirl.
Hope this makes sense.

J.A.

Hello JA

When you make changes to your profile, you have to remember to hit the "Change Profile" button at the bottom to confirm and save the changes.  I suggest you try again, making sure you do that, and tell us whether that works for you.

kind regards, Arranroots  Wink

Thanks Arranroots.

I've tried that again and when I go into the add surname interest option and add the surname, area and comment information the box 'add surname' is the only option I have - there is no 'Change Profile' box/option.

Again, I hope I am making sense.

J.A.

I added the new surname interest again as advised but with a slightly different message (to distinguish the two) - both still show up.

Adding surnames to your SIT entry doesn't add them to your postings.  You have to do that separately by changing the list in your profile.

Hello again

In order to add surname interests to the bottom of your postings you need to make the change in your profile - not the Surname Interests Table (which I am thinking now is what you have done?)

The profile info is changed via the PROFILE button at the top of each screen.  There is a link somewhere that explains - I will find it for you!

Thanks to Behind... and Arranroots.

I've managed to get to the Profile option and can get in to the box to change the information.  Thank you both very much.

Hi Northern Girl,

Here's the "official" explanation:

Topic: FAQ: my postings are not showing my SIT names
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,121583.0.html

but it looks like Behindthefrogs and Arranroots have sorted you out OK:  Smiley Smiley
(it's great for me that I'm not the only expert around here  Grin Grin )

One point though:

Hope this makes sense.

Are you still getting into the SIT OK, or do I need to change your user name there, too ??

Hi B-Bob

Yes thank you I have managed to add the surnames to the SIT but forgot in my enthusiasm to add them to my postings list - Doh!
