Hi Pasclaw,

Excellent question. Once you make a post you can only edit it within twenty-four hours, which is presumably why you couldn't edit your first post but could edit the next.

After twenty-four hours only Moderators can edit a topic.

If you want a topic edited for a correction after twenty-four hours feel free to ask a Moderator to do this for you, although it's perfectly ok to simply discuss errors in earlier posts further down the topic (e.g. 'refer Reply#7...').

Thnaks.  So if I wanted to ask a Moderator, would I use the "report to moderator" link, or is that only for "bad" posts?

[spades]

No, not at all.

You can use the Report to Moderator (commonly known as 'R2M') link to sign off a topic as Completed (very helpful to your poor hardworking bottle-washers), to advise the Moderation Team of email addresses or living persons which need to be removed from any posts you come across, to tell us of a topic posted in the wrong place (it's not uncommon to find new topics accidently posted in a Resources & Offers Board or in Completed Requests - we'll move them to the appropriate board where they will be seen), and in general, anything you think we should know about.

The advantage of R2M's is that all the Moderation Team will see it and someone will be able to help.

You can send a Moderator a Personal Message (PM) instead if you prefer.

Hi Pasclaw and Hayden McGrail, and welcome to RootsChat.

Pasclaw, as we don't post the names of living or possibly living persons on RootsChat, could I ask you to edit your post above, please. RootsChat is rigorous in its policy to protect individuals from the threat of identity theft, spam and other abuses.

And with that in mind, could I strongly recommend to Hayden McGrail that you remove what I assume is your personal image from your profile and perhaps also change your profile name to something more anonymous. Don't make it easy for them.

Once you have both made three posts you can use the Personal Message (PM) facility to exchange personal information as that above, email addresses, ask questions of your Moderator , etc. Even a couple of smiley posts to reach three is fine.

Congratulations on finding a connection and happy hunting.

Don't hesitate to contact me or another Moderator if you have any questions.

Hi Spades,
Thank you for your guidance. Will avoid "living names" in future.
As for name & photo, I logged in using facebook so these were automatically adopted by rootschat. It's the way the rootschat app has been set up by rootschat.
I have managed to edit my name but not my photo - any help with this would be appreciated.
Found this was the only why to reply to you - any advise on a better way would also be appreciated.
Also couldn't work out how to edit my "rule breaking" post or even delete it - so your suggestions on this would also.

Regards, Hayden55

Hayden, I clicked on my own user name, then on "forum profile" and there's an option in there to select an avatar, upload an avatar or use no pic at all.  That's how to change your forum pic.

Thanks for giving the advice, Pasclaw.

Hayden, see Reply#81 above for the reason you couldn't edit your first reply.

If you make one more post (even a reply with a smiley will do) you will have access to the Personal Message (PM) facility and can then send private messages to other members and the Moderation Team members.
See here for more: http://www.rootschat.com/help/pms.php

I've edited your first reply to the topic to remove the name.

Hello Pasclaw,
I was very interested in your posts about the Pascoe family.  We have similar ancestors and you have clarified some missing information for me.   

Thank you,
Gandydancer

Dear Kik and Pasclaw,
I have information about the living ancestors of the Pascoe family - Eva and Victrrine.  I am looking for information about Juliet - Merle and Victtrine's daughter. I hope you are still on this post.

Dear Kik and Pasclaw,
This is my third post so I can send a personal message.  I'd like to communicate further with both of you about the Pascoe line and the living relatives.
Cheers,
Gandydancer
