Is that what you want?

Yes it is a bit hidden Leonie.
On any rootschat page count up four lines from the very bottom of the page, and in blue almost in the middle of the forth line you'll find [Your Surname Interests].
If you click on that you will go to the page Dave has given a link for.

You're right, both of you. It's not obvious.
When you read some of the older threads though, it took a lot of effort to get it that organised.
MODS. My comment for an improvement would be.........
Is there any way we could be alerted when someone adds a name that we already have on the SIT? Perhaps there is already, and it's me that's "blind or stupid"

I suppose it's just a matter of regularly checking through "show all with my surname interests" to see if any matches have been added.
I think the SIT is a great idea, but I've never been contacted by anyone through it. I've contacted a few - no matches with a couple, and no replies with others ....
It's probably underused and needs a bit more promoting (moving it from the bottom to the top of the page may help perhaps?).

I think you know Ruskie,
I'm on your side.
Leonie, it goes without saying - you're with us too.
Leonie, you started it. Given the correct thread..

Hi Leonie,
I'm also hoping that the Surname Interest Table (SIT) will get it's own "button" at the top of the page, one day.
There is a board here, where topics about the SIT are usually posted (or end up  - I'm moving this one to the SIT board)
Is there any way we could be alerted when someone adds a name that we already have on the SIT? Perhaps there is already, and it's me that's "blind or stupid" Sorry Dave, but in a word : No 
Software for 'matching' names would be take too long. So you will have to go with Ruskie's idea:
I suppose it's just a matter of regularly checking through "show all with my surname interests" to see if any matches have been added.
But feel free to keep adding ideas,
at least two additions to the SIT have come from members' suggestions 
cheers,
Bob

. and why dont folk send others to the index instead of giving them short cuts to it.Members will never learn how to use rootschat if they are given short cuts all time.
