Title: Tansfer message to different Board.
Post by: twiss on Sunday 21 October 07 21:10 BST (UK)

I realised after posting a message that it was on the wrong Board, so tried to copy and paste it to the correct one, but got a message about "Copyright".

I know that people do copy and paste sectons of someone's message when replying, so where did I go wrong?

Thank you, Joan.

Hi Joan,

Instead of right-clicking, just use ctrl+c to copy and ctrl+v to paste  :)

If you want a post moved, eg you've started a thread on the wrong board, click the "report to moderator" link in the bottom right-hand corner of the post and fill in the little box with your request.

You can "copy and paste"  on the county boards but not the look up requests boards.

If you are replying to a post you can click on "quote" which will copy the entire post you are replying to onto your post.  You can edit bits you don't need.

Probably because we all started out like you, at the beginning.  Because people answered our naive questions, we now know more, so we pass it on.

I think this must be the "inofficial" motto of RootsChat:
"What goes around comes around"  :) :)

Bob

ps.  I've deleted the "wrong" one  :)
