A little bit confused
« on: Tuesday 17 August 04 23:06 BST (UK) »
 :-[

I am having a bit of a blond moment (sorry blonds, no offence meant).

If I am posting a look up offer or request should I post it in the general look up forum, Census and Resource Discussion I think it is in. Or, do I post it in the specific county lookup/request, ie the sub section under Hampshire?

Or can I do both? (As i have been doing)

I know this will seem really silly to most of you.

Amy,

We are in the process of changing the lookups on RootsChat.  The general rule now is:

For offers -
If you have a resource specific to a county,  or part of a county,  post in the relevant County Offers.

If your resource is cross county,  post in the Census and Lookup offers.

For Requests -
Post in the Lookup board that corresponds to the offer you are reponding to.

I hope that clarifies it for you.   ;D

Kazza.

Thank You, Kazza.
That makes sense, feeling a bit silly now.  :-[

Amy,

No need for embarressment,  the changes have not been finalised yet,  so confusion is understandable.  ::)

It is useful feed-back for me to know I have not made the instructions clear enough.   And I am always happy to provide clarification on any aspect of RootsChat.   ;D
