Our new List Admin asked for this subject, noting that presently a
member list can be displayed by clicking on the "Members" link at
right.

My own preference is to show it. That enables members readily to send
an email to a member *from the site*, while preserving members'
privacy since names and actual email addresses are not shown.

Best wishes to all,
Jade

Thanks, Beth, for setting up this Unofficial Ancestry group.

I'm fine with showing the member list - I see I am on there twice!
Will try to fix that.

I'm from British Columbia, Canada and have been an Ancestry subscriber
since the beginning of Ancestry time...

Not always happy, but like others, don't want to be without it now
either.

Wondering how many of us are on Facebook and Twitter? We could
'advertise' this list there too.

First, thank you, Beth, for forming this group. Second, my preference
is to show the membership.

I say, show the list. I don't really see why not to and it would help
with communication between members.

Ah Ancestry.com-- love-hate relationship for so many of us. Thanks for
this list, Beth.
I'm fine with displaying the membership list. (Is there a way for
people to set their preferences such that can opt out individually?)

Is there a way to modify the list setup so that the prefix for subject
headers is significantly shorter? Thanks.

Thanks everyone for replying. I will continue to show the membership list.

Yes, Jillaine I can shorten the prefix. What do you suggest? The message
number does not have to be included.

How about just: UAG?
