Area to look up Grandfather
« on: Saturday 15 August 09 18:14 BST (UK) »
Hi, I haven't used this board for awhile, but on the old version I could look up my posts for my grandfather.  Is that past?

Hi Waralan

I'd like to help, but I'm not sure what you're asking!  Could you explain a bit more please?

Kind regards, Arranroots  ;)

Edit: you've made requests about your grandfather and other relations before and you can see them here:

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=2620;sa=showPosts

If you click on the ones that interest you, you can see if there are any replies.

Alternatively, you can click on the blue writing at the top of the board which says "Show new replies to your posts"

Hi, maybe I am old fashioned, but on the board that used to be, I could punch in Edward Rutter, and get any responses I wanted.

At the top of the page, near the middle, you will find a "Search" button.  It takes you to the RootsChat search engine.  You can do a search on your grandfather's name to find any posts that mention him by name.

Hi both

Waralan, the boards haven't changed - but it's true that Trystan redesigned the "buttons" at the top of the screen and added a few, so maybe that is causing your confusion.

I hope you've found what you were after now?

Kind regards, Arranroots  ;)
