But what I suggested above (stickied explanatory posts at the top of a board) is a terribly simple solution to an existing problem ... isn't it?
We already have MANY stickied explanatory posts at the top of most boards.
The more stickied explanatory posts we have, the less likely it is, that they are going to be read.
At times it is easy to get the impression that people don't read the stickied explanatory posts that are already there - how is putting even more such posts on the board going to help ?
Much of what happens on RootsChat has grown with time and in general, it works.
We are always looking for ways to improve RootsChat but some of the suggestions that we (moderators and members) may make sound simple but are not easy to implement.
Please be assured that all suggestions are discussed, and, here and there, we do make such changes as are possible.
Bob.
ps, from a stickied explanatory topic on RootsChat:
We have a section called Look up Offered, here you can post your offered help and then we “lock” the subject with a padlock. People if interested would then reply in Look up requested which makes it easier to reply to each one in order in case you prove very popular.
