Family History Programs, Tree Organisation, Presentation / An illogical website
« on: Wednesday 30 November 16 10:54 GMT (UK)  »
Is my use of a Tablet PC the reason this website doesn't do anything correctly ?   I joined rootsChat because a relative tried to contact me via Ancestry.com (which won't pass along any details without payment) so I ran a search on her name and discovered she's a member of rootsChat. After becoming a member I wasted an hour before learning I couldn't send a message before I'd started 3 topics of conversation (?!). After 2 days (only allowed one post per day) I found that I couldn't respond to any of the comments I recieved (I would have loved to reply to the time waster who simply commented "Who killed cock robin"!). The website is a pain to use since whoever designed it had obviously never heard of a touchscreen ... 'click' items too small for a finger etc etc.  One commenter said that if ones family tree could simply be referenced by a computer program it would remove the pleasure of their "hobby" ... does anyone know of an up to date website that can be used by intelligent people ?  i.e. not rootChat aka pointlessChatter.

Why hasn't all the information available been computerised and connected ... there is no reason why ALL family trees are not readily available ... it is illogical that everybody has to research their own ancestry when a simple computer program could correlate everything !?

How to Use RootsChat (Please don't post requests here) / FREE as in "no payment required" OR FREE so long as you don't want to "chat" ?

Is 'rootsChat' really FREE or is it like all other Ancestry websites which are money grabbing scams ?   I found the person I was looking for on rootsChat but there was no means of contacting them .... I'm guessing that to actually get to chat about geneology and exchange info there will be the usual "enter your credit card details"  and the subsequent "your registry payment will be deducted from your first purchase" !
