What about a reminder on the registration page? Would that work? Or as part of the registration they could put in their four most searched for names and then a reminder on their first email to fill out the rest

I am always adding to mine but mainly the names of those who are linked directly. Might start adding siblings spouses names and see what happens

I also have a few where I am the only searcher and these are in areas where the name is quite common and I still haven't found anyone looking for them

I concur, a button at the top alongside the chat and calendar buttons would be more visible.
Perhaps Surname Interests Table is too big to fit on a button - and perhaps SIT is too obscure?

cheers,

I think you wil find it is a technical problem and because the SIT is a seperate database it has to be linked in a different way to the buttons at the top of the display.

I have about 55 but there's about 50 or 60 more surnames to put on it yet.
