Using this site

Post by Diane »

This is my second year of membership so I suppose that makes me a relative newcomer. I would like to say that I find this site difficult to use. It is full of abbreviations and things that mean nothing and I have never been able to find how to post the names I am searching for. I am no means a technophobe and wonder if I am the only member who has difficulties?
If anyone can offer any help I would be grateful.
Thanks
Diane

We would be pleased to help, if you could explain which abbreviations you have come across since I wasn't aware of very many.

If you wish to post your surnames in your signature, as mine are, at the top right of this page is a link to
User Control panel, then look down the left column, a link for
Profile, then beneath that
Edit Signature and complete the box with your names.

Then return to the
Edit Profile (just the one above), scroll down a little and enter your Membership Number in the box allocated for it, then done!

I hope we are able to help with your research queries also.
