Forum: Brit-Gen Discussion

I've just read this morning's new messages and notice 2 instances where a private e-mail address has been included. This is not "safe" - it can lead to addresses being "hi-jacked" (I think - I am certainly no expert!). In past messages, moderators have jumped in to change addresses ('@' to...

When I was on the forum earlier, I saw that Jan1954 had posted a resignation message and someone had posted a reply. I cannot find this now. Has it been deleted? If so, I saw nothing offensive or defamatory in it so why has it disappeared? I was hoping to wish Jan well as I know that in the...

A few days ago I became concerned about the "Search Now" banners that appear on some pages. I sent a message via the Contact Us link, but as I haven't had a reply, nearly 4 days later, I thought I'd raise my concerns here. The banners appear to have the Forces War Records colour scheme and...

These "discussions" remind me why I have always hated large family reunions - Christmas, Weddings, Funerals. People who all "know best" falling out and going off in a huff. This is a wonderful forum, whose aim it is to provide free advice and help to anyone researching family history. Who...

Having been considering retiring from my Moderator role for a while, I have decided to make the move and depart from B-G. As the first Moderator appointed by Pam when she took over the forum from Rod Neep, I have loved every minute of my position. I consider all the other Moderators to be family...

Hi all, I have decided for a number of reasons that I no longer wish to be a member of the forum and I am requesting my profile be removed. I have been here for a long time and until recently loved it as a community and a researching aid. Good luck to you all with your future research.

I appreciate the forum needs to have a means of timing out members who have been inactive for some time, but this can be a pain when you are posting. More than once I have found myself timed out after finishing a fairly long or involved post. I have no problem with logging in again but all I have...

Unless my eyes deceive me, both the A.U.P. and the Privavy Statement are identical. They were posted 26 Nov. 2008 - by someone indicated as GUEST. This person by vitue of status is apparently no longer a member of B-G. What are the implications - if any - if these statements are disregarded...
