Folowing info from a listee,I went into the LDS Share site and looked up my name and found a Ranger collaboration list. Not knowing quite what to do, I sent an email giving details about myself. Nothing seems to have happened. Have I done it right? If not, can anyone tell me how to work the system please. John

Hi john As far as I know you have done it correctly, the thing to bear in mind with LDs is that the lists are sometimes pretty old, and may no longer be active, so really there is nothing else you can do but sit and wait. Regards Maxine

I did the same yesterday, I have had a reply, asking me to send the message again, and then a email saying that this had been sent several hours later. So I presume it is a slow business. So hang in there. I am. By the way, thanks to the helpful person who pointed me in this direction. Chris
