Find Ancestors

Im going to have a moan

I have just returned some census results on this board and then return to find that the topic has been deleted! !!!

Why do i bother wasting my time and efforts on some people( minority)


and to top it off never say a thank you kiss me butt or anything

in a mood for the day lol


Regards

Tracy

I know, it's really annoying when that happens!!


I think many people don't realise that all these threads are stored on GR's servers, not on our own computers. So they think they are releasing space on their own computers.


They don't think, or realise, that leaving the information up may help someone else in the future ...... or indeed that they might find it useful to return to a a later date to confirm information.


Some helpers also have a habit of deleting information that they have found ......... and I also find that annoying, because then I don't know what has been found or whether I am duplicating work already done!



so another moan from me!!



sylvia

Its so annoying i went back to add more and it had gone, no thanks or anything to let me know wether it was of any help.


please if people leave you information dont delete it straight away you or we the helpers may need it at a later date for reference to what has been searched so that it is NOT DUPLICATED

Was this the William Sergeant of Salford thread?

Rose

hi Rose
yes i think it was one minute ther then went back to add more and iut gone

I had added something too.

Do you remember the name of the poster?

Rose

no sorry was so mad it it disappearing to remember, but wo be tide if the name sergeant comes up again lol

Tracy

There are 2 people with that name in their trees.

I've half a mind to email them but I can't be sure who it was.

Rose

i had a look myself but im not sure either

Just nudged up a thread from "kempinawoolliehat" !

She has the opposite problem-the poster of the info has deleted it and she wanted to check it again and it has gone !!

Elizabeth


that was the second part of my complaint last night

............. helpers deleting information they have provided.


A lot of people seem to be doing it now ....... some do it if the thread starter hasn't returned to the thread (or acknowledged the info), but others just seem to do regardless even after getting a response.


It is so annoying to go onto a thread, wanting to help, to see the thread starter saying something like "xxxxxx, thank you for that information it is helpful", or "xxxxx, thank you, but I don't think that is my family" ............... but the relevant posting has gone.


How the h*** is another helper supposed to know what has been found without repeating the search again?


I do know who some of the worst offenders are, but there seem to be several others copying them.



grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr



sylvia

Think I did something on the sergeant thread too...but for the life of me cannot remember what it was about, Its like when you get a pm from someone who you replied to a week earlier....not a clue lol
jax

So does it delete if we put it in our BOOKMARKS bit .....

And why add if you return and delete

Jax
I get that too people pm and say thanks for look ups and dont sasy which one so i have retrace my steps

Lol

Tracy

My appologies to you I think it was me and I have stumbled across this post and I cannot appologize enough.I know this is a poor excuss but I am new to all this and yes I thought by deleting it ,it goes off your settings or something .then I was sat there and was wondering how you thank the people for there help .I was tired last night as I work long hours and I hope you except my appology and my thanks for your help......................believe me it is a lesson learned ...................believe it or not it played on my mind all night. I am very sorry people ...............god bless

Paul

Please don't let it stop you asking for help in the future


............ just as long as you remember not to delete :))))))





sylvia
