The difficulty with adding more and more boards is that everything gets diluted down a bit with the messages being spread out.

As explained in the "How to Use the Census board on RootsChat", if people clearly state in the subject of their message what they are posting about, then it will work out fine:

"LOOKUP OFFER ........"
or
"CENSUS REQUEST ........."
or
"LINKS: ......."

We plan to revisit this a bit later on and add a census "group" with "lookup request" "lokup offer" and "census discussions"

Thinking about it now, it's best to set up the new boards now rather than later, becasue we have to move every single message across manually to new boards. So thank you for the suggestion - we've now set up the new boards!

No, thank YOU for highlighting the problem right now - it would have been a very labourious job a few months on!  :)
