Would it not be easier colinp just to use one thread and list what new information is contained in CP3 contains? It becomes a bit unwieldly to always search it up in this group every time instead of looking at things in one thread. Alternatively, could always make a Google Doc and share its link here so we can keep up with it, instead of cluttering up dozens of new posts in a thread.

The problem with a long thread with dozens of unrelated pieces of information is that it becomes difficult to search: easy to find the thread, perhaps, but one must read through every post in the thread to find the one piece of information being sought.

I do agree with Paul.  My long "Debrett's 2019 corrections" post is a case in point and which I should have dealt with as individual posts

I agree that threads should have a common family theme, so it has been practice within the group for children's birth to be posted on the thread for their parent's marriage.  Big compilation threads become trickier.

I have found efficient ways to search compilations and other long threads:

1.  In the top right of each thread is a button with two arrows pointing up and down - if you hover over this it gives "Expand All" as the instruction. Click this.

2. Every post is now visible in the thread. Press CTRL + F keys together  (this accesses the search function in most browsers on a computer; if you are using a phone or a browser where this doesn't work, you will need to work out how to do this).  In the search box, type the name / text you are interested in and it will find all occurrences in the thread which you can cycle through.

ah, cool... thanks for pointing out that trick! It works  :)
