Access to surname interest
« on: Friday 22 January 16 12:59 GMT (UK) »
Hello,

I'm new here and trying to use the Surname Interests Table to find others who have a shared interest. However I am unable to see 'others with my interests' as I need access to the 'PM' system which I get after posting two messages on the forum.

I have already posted 7 of 8 messages on the forums, and appear to have access to the 'PM' system -  I was able to sent a 'PM' to myself just now.

Am I missing something here, how do I gain access to the SIT?

Thanks in advance
Ian.

Possibly because most of your posts have been to the Photograph Restore section?

Now that you have made 2 "proper" posts, why not try again?

Go to bottom of any RC page.
Click on Surname Interests; then Quick Search.
Then click on the initial letter of the surname of interest - you might need to select further by the first few letters.
