[LegacyUG] Test e-mails

All: I hate to be a complainer, but the continual flurry of this is a test e-mails that are hitting this board lately are getting a bit annoying. No disparagement meant towards any individual by this, but I'm wondering why we're seeing so many. Two thoughts come to mind, both with a solution.

Scott, I think the problem has been resolved now. Please be patient; there is a whole group of people who didn't realize the LUG was even active because nothing was showing up; they only found out via contentious people on the FS group. It won't go on forever and you never know - it might be one

If anyone is not seeing their messages come through to their inbox, rather than send a flurry of test messages to the group, it's best to contact supp...@legacyfamilytree.com so we can help investigate the problem. You're right Scott, it's not fair for everyone to have to have their mailbox

Scott, Perhaps someone on the Legacy FS list should tell those users that if they wish to see if they are getting posts from LUG they should do as Scott says, show consideration for other users and check the Archives. Ron Ferguson _ *New*

Obviously you won't get consensus on this group...but I vote for #3. Some people take this LUG way too seriously...I bet they were hall monitors in grammar school. People come and go, have all levels of experience, and share the use of Legacy. So you get an extra email, big deal. Dick

Mike, that is a pretty narrow argument. Sure, some people have dial-up or no Internet at all, and some are running Win3.1, have small discs, and on and on. We all live with some economic trade offs. But it's 2010 and the norm for computer users is a fairly fast computer and some sort of high speed

Hi All, I joined this group 2 days ago, to learn and improve my knowledge of genealogy and Legacy in particular.   Query DO YOU ALL, capitals intended, think that I have achieved that goal in the last 48 hours.  Nothing I have seen relates to genealogy, family history etc. Perhaps the time has

We've heard many times that this is an unfriendly LUG, intimidating people and generally causing bad feelings. I think we'd do better to give a little leeway to our fellow Legacy users, many of whom are obviously new to Legacy or the LUG (and may not even know about the archives.) Sending a test

Good point! Haven't heard any questions/answers at all on the LUG, which again makes me wonder if it's very active. I have a question, I actually have loads of questions, but in the interest of simply changing the subject here goes: How do you handle alternate names? I enter all my alternate

Stick with us Bruce. These last couple of days have been an exception. I have learnt so much about Legacy just how much the programme has to offer just by reading the messages over the past two years. My thanks to all who have taught me so much without my even having asked any questions.

The group was designed for discussion of Legacy Family Tree and the add-on programs. Not for general genealogy questions. If you have a question about how to work in Legacy or one of the add-on programs, fire away - you'll get some great responses from the helpful group here. The problem is

Kathy, I take it that by appropriate place you mean the AKAs ie. the three headed icon in Family View. I'm not sure that one can call any of these the preferred, although I guess one can apply this to the first on the list. Not being LDS myself I have no idea of the search criteria for the NFS,
