Trying to edit mine, but just seem to have duplicated them and can't seem to delete my superfluous entries. Please advise.

Hi Siouxzie,
this is now aou-of-date, but might still be useful.

I'll try and update it a.s.a.p
Bob
ps. don't worry about getting it wrong; as a last resort, I can delete any errors "by hand"

Hi Bob,
I click on "Your Surname Interests" at the bottom of any RootsChat page (as per your instructions), and a new page opens with the message "Welcome Guest", and "To log in to the SIT, click here". When I do that I get the message "You have to be logged in to access the SIT, registration is free ..."
Well ... I've logged in three times around, and I'm just going in circles. At the top of any other RootsChat page it correctly identifies me and acknowledges me as logged in. I have accessed SIT many times in the past, but not now ...
??
Cheers
Tim

Hi Trystan,
It's probably a couple of months since I visited the SIT. In the meantime I changed my email address, but not my user name or password - could that have affected anything?
I've deleted all cookies and temporary files from the Tools --> Internet Options drop-down menu, but it doesn't seem to have made a difference - I still cannot log in. Is there something else I need to do to delete my Rootschat cookie?
Cheers
Tim

Hi suziehaze,
Welcome to RootsChat !
I gather you're referring to the Surname Interests Table ??
Your chatter_id is your RootsChat ID number.
(hover with the mouse over your name, anywhere, and you should see at the bottom of your browser your user number 22760)
When you started using the SIT you logged in with your old user name,
so now, when you log in as 'susiehaze' your user ID is still the same, so the SIT says "Sorry, there is already an ID 22760 here and it is not suziehaze !!", hence the message 
If you are now going to stay "suziehaze" for a while, I'll change your name in the SIT database !
OK with you ??
Bob

Hi
When I look at the entries most have ../../ before the place names. Is this significant or should we backspace to remove this? Have I not entered the data correctly?

Hi Jane,
what you are seeing is the difference between the "old" Version 2 SIT with just Surname and Comment fields, and the "new" Version 3 SIT, with additional County and Place name fields
Unfortunately, not everybody has edited their older entries yet (Hint, Hint !!)
To Everybody !!!)
Edit your existing entries to include County and place name and what will then appear is
CCC/Place name/Comment,
where CCC stands for the 3 letter Chapman County Code
Try editing one name, to see how it goes, then edit the rest !
this might help, too (although the diagrams are from the older version):

Hi Bob
I was entering them incorrectly. Another query: How do I enter the same name with more than 1 county? I have tried to enter them individually but only the first entry shows up.
