Re-posted/repeated threads.

[Waitabit]

It would seem like a good idea, having read apost to then do a search to see if it's a repeat of a previous post--NOT !!. Time's too short, & there'd be no time left for anything else.
Had I been wise enough to look HERE (http://http://www.british-genealogy.com/forums/showthread.php/76952-Marriage-of-CHRISTINA-GALL-1863-SCOTLAND*?highlight=Rennie) before I leapt in a mad dash to HERE (http://http://www.british-genealogy.com/forums/showthread.php/77737-PLEASE-help-look-up-2-things-on-Scot-s-PPL?highlight=Rennie)

I may have also been able to assist some-one else similarly. Just as well there are a lot of helpers out there.

Hi Wendy
Still can't connect to your links.

Maybe they are my threads and my computer is sympathetic and won't allow me access. :smile5:

[Waitabit]

Sorry, guess I've lost 'it'. If you copy/paste into bar at top all will be revealed.

Hurray......those worked!! If at first.....and all that jazz, lol.

[Pam Downes]

I sympathise Wendy. |hug| Especially if you've spent money in trying to help.

Perhaps the AUP should have a note which says 'If you're posting a further query about a person/topic for which there is already a thread, either continue in the same thread or else provide a link to your first thread to avoid duplication of research by people willing to assist you. Failure to do so will alienate people.'
I know that last sentence sounds harsh, but it's true. In the eight and a half years I've been a member of BG I've wasted more than a couple of hours because of duplicate posts and I have not been a happy bunny. |rant|

[Waitabit]

I was very happy to be able to do it Pam, but could have saved time & credits by going straight to the ready source. AUP is good only if it's read & remembered. I have actually got 2 left, useless tho' for items requiring 5.

No don't rush me please :smilewinkgrin:

[geneius]

And if you google you may find where the poster or others looking for similar info have posted

Good point Pam and I agree, I'll see what Simon thinks.

[Ladkyis]

Now all we have to do is persuade all new members to read the AUP and this forum will be nigh on perfect................

Oh it's ok I am back in the real world now

[Squaredancer]

Now all we have to do is persuade all new members to read the AUP

Suggestion - when someone wants to join, could they be sent an email with the AUP to read and a clickable link to confirm that they accept this before they actually become members? Of course, not all of them would actually read it...
