The Rootsweb Archive has changed!
If you have ever looked in the archives you may have noticed that some of
the posts do not have line wrap.
This causes you to have to scroll waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to the right
to be able to read the post.
Rootsweb has done some changes in their coding and now the archives are
easier to read!
If you do find one of those long ones, copy and paste it with the headers
and send along to the help desk.

Another change is helpful to those folks who have common surnames or names
that have several variant mailing lists.
For example, you can click on surname SMITH and when you get to that page
where you would be able to subscribe to Smith, you will find another
secondary table of contents with hot links for all the lists where SMITH
might occur....
so you would see all of these
[AUS-SMITH-LOST] [George-Sterling-Smith] [NIMROD-SMITH] [SMITH] [SMITH-AL]
[SMITH-AR] [SMITH-AUS] [SMITH-CA] [SMITH-CANADA] [SMITH-CT] [SMITH-DAVID]
[SMITH-DE] [SMITH-ENG-LANCASHIRE] [SMITH-FREEDMEN] [SMITH-GA]
[SMITH-HANTS-UK] [SMITH-ID] [SMITH-IL] [SMITH-IN] [SMITH-KS] [SMITH-KY]
[SMITH-MD] [SMITH-MISSOURI] [SMITH-MN] [SMITH-MO] [SMITH-MS] [SMITH-NC]
[SMITH-NEW-ENGLAND] [SMITH-NJ] [SMITH-NYC] [SMITH-OK] [SMITH-PA] [SMITH-SC]
[SMITH-SCOTTISH] [SMITH-SWITZ] [SMITH-TN] [SMITH-TX] [SMITH-UK] [SMITH-VA]
[SMITH-WI] [SMITH-WV]
Then you are able to click on that or scroll down the page to get to the
subscribe or archives links.
This only is available so far for SURNAMES not locales.
I think both of these are a great improvement, check it out when you have a
chance.
