5 now and again
1,I just upload a new one once a year

1. When I first started and set up my tree. Hardly look at GR tree now I have an established tree elsewhere and one off line.

2. Not as much as I used to when I first started and was using searching trees and asking questions.

3. Very very seldom, only in the beginning.

4 General Chat, every day, either lurking or posting. Geneology Chat or Find rellies etc. Used to help others. Now there seems to be so many helpers these days, I feel sort of superfluous. Suggestions, always have a quick look and occasionally add my two cents worth. Give quizzes etc a big miss now it is a separate board.

5. Only when I am stuck for somewhere to search, and remember the feature is available

6. Never. Have only really looked about three times in over two years. Not ever found a hot match which was relevant.


I prefer the boards the way they used to be about two and a bit years ago. And yes you are right I don’t particularly like change unless is for the better.

By the way has anyone noticed the improvement in the speed of this site in the last few days? I have had two “go away you can’t get in” messages in the past week, but now it seems to be working really, really well. OK so I am holding a lump of wood in my hand just in case I invoke the disaster genie by daring to add a positive comment.

Added after.....

Need to change my undergarments. Laughing so much!!

I am having trouble with my internet dropping out and losing my posts. When I have lots to say (normal), I now type into Word and then copy and paste into GR. I typed the above and forgot I had to log in. Went to log in, received the "go away" pink message, then used an incorrect log in name, more rejection, then another error message.

I really should have used a larger piece of wood to touch!!

Only 4
2 is just too awful as a layout.

anything else I prefer to go elsewhere to ask as I find other sites helpers better attitueds far friendlier.

On reflection, this poll is a bit pointless isn't it?

11 million members and a mere handful of replies. You know you won't get remotely near enough replies to warrant a fair outcome.

So what is it about? The team wanting a stickie at the top of the board as an attempt to suggest a presence?

;-)

Have to say I am now using 4 about 40% of the time I am on the site. Which in a short time of zero on 4 has shot up. Thankyou GR I am enjoying this part of the site.
