completed - How to put completed on posting

[deebee]

I would appreciate it if someone could explain to me how to put completed on my postings.  I think I must be a bit dim because I can't seem to find any way to do it    Thank you.

Hello dee

While not necessarily agreeing with the premise that this is necessary - my research on anything is never complete - go to the first entry of the thread, hit the modify button - on right - and when the modify screen appears, change the Subject item to include the word completed

Hello Trish,

Thank you for your help, I'll give it a go and see if I can do it now!!

I think the point Trish is that when a post asks for a specific look up and that look up has been successfully carried out it stops other people going into the thread to see if they can do the look up.

If it was done more frequently I would certainly look at outstanding requests with a number of posts more often, where as currently it is usually a waste of time.

I have been given such an answer many times David, so will say no more - other than I disagree with the concept.

Do come back dee if you have any problems  - I think I have it right, despite I use it rarely

If you're going to do this, I think the word completed should be added to the original thread title not replace the original.  I've noticed a few lately where the title has become simply the word 'completed,' which isn't very helpful.

I had thought I said that - albeit in a slightly different manner

change the Subject item to include  the word completed

Hi all,

I'm sorry.

I think I must be an idiot, try as I might I still can't do this.  I became an oap recently and I'm going to use this as my excuse, the brain's gone

Definitely not an idiot - no-one who has the good sense to trace their roots can be classified in this manner 

Blame the instructions  - I will attempt to do a screen print & add a picture. As I am almost an oap, I am not very good at this, so someone else may get there before me. Watch this space
