Before I go completely insane could someone check the ancestry immigrant lists for me please. I  find ancestry extremely useful, but just sometimes things change in a way they I cannot understand.

Two days ago I was checking the assisted (and I think unassisted) immigrants and I had access to the images. I definitely downloaded a couple from 1852/55 assisted.

Today there is NO sign of images attached to the records - is it me - or them

I can find no trace of this family on a census prior to 1901. I do wonder if there was a second marriage - and the older children perhaps belong to one of the couple only - but whatever - I can't find anyone. it is like they teleported to 1901.

Any suggestions much appreciated

I realise mods can delete a post any time, but for we commoners (or convicts or colonials) when are we given the delete option.

I recently linked to a thread in a post, but discovered on checking that the post of interest has since been deleted, which makes my comment look somewhat illogical (which some may say is a normal event  but I do try to be logical, albeit sometimes weird)

It thus seems more reliable to always quote a post of interest (even from another thread) if there is a possibility of it being deleted.

A list of when/where a mortal can delete a post would be much appreciated.

Please someone tell me why it is so important to mark posts complete and move them to another board. Seems it makes alot of work for some - and I'd never seen it happening so much as in the past few weeks.

What works better by moving things, rather than letting them drop to the end (by date) of the threads they are on?  Sometimes I remember a thread & search for it on the appropriate board only to find it isn't there any more - very confusing. Then we have newbies who find old threads of interest (probably via google) and start posting on completed boards - also a little confusing - should these threads be moved back?

I'm sure there must be a reason, other than to create work for the greenies or send me off to google to do my searching. Please share.
