Sorry about the other posting don't know what happened there, I typed the whole thing but nothing came up. Anyway Tribal Pages I was having a look at the site and there was a section with threads, people asking for lookups etc. Now I have registered I ca't find this part of the website can anyone tell me how to get to the threads part.

Hi BettyBoo There's a forum tab top right on the home page...is that what you mean? Sylvia

Hi Gillian, Yes I got that when I first went onto Tribal Pages, I say the forum bit and it looked good, so I registered and after I register, I then put in login name etc. it opened up to the page I showed above and I now can't find the forum page. If I log off I see the Forum page again if I log in I can't. Betty

Go to Edit, then click on Help / Tutorials at the bottom right of the page.

Hi Mary, That worked, thanks so much for your help, can I ask do you have to pay for anything on this site? Betty

On Tribal you have option of paying for site or having a free tree. Difference only is that if you pay subscription can input more pictures on site & they have a search option which matches your names to other trees (both paid & free), plus it seems to bump your tree up in the list for matching names. You can access forum without paying. Just set up free tree id. Personally don't find the forum very useful as most people are looking in the US. But sometimes can find useful items there. Sue

Hi Sue, Sorry came on later this afternoon and found your message, how much does it cost then to join Tribal Pages, do you know in UK pounds I mean. Betty

Hi Susan, Thanks for the information, so its cheaper than GR then. I will consider it as that is cheap. Many thanks Betty

I have two trees on TP - both free, and I havent felt the need to upgrade yet, although I might when my GR sub runs out. I don't find the ads invasive at all on the free version, in fact I didnt even notice them till someone else remarked on them! I absolutely love TP for its simplicity and ease of input. And the fact that it is always available, you never have to GUESS how to do something, the site is never down and it WORKS. OC
