General Chat

As I understand it you can have several accounts but you can only post on one of them unless you pay for more than one subscription.

There is little to be gained by having more than one subscription but it would enable you to post under two identities. Why anyone would want to do that I can only think would be to cause trouble.

One could create accounts (using different emails) in order to report posts anonymously. As long as GR is unable to determine that reports are from the same person then there's not much they can do.

I believe the requirement that a separate account has to be from a different email address is a fairly recent change.

Quite often we are asked by members on here, is it possible to set up another/other account/account's in order to set up another/other tree/tree's?

There are all sorts of reasons why members want to do that.

For example.......A lady recently wanted to be able to set up a separate tree for her son's father's side of the family.

It has never crossed my mind that someone might set up separate account's, in order to "swap identities"

"Do you swap from one to the other when you have upset people or when people have upset you."

Hmmmm, interesting..........and I have been here since 2007..

You obviously understand things far better than I do JoyLouise.

My complaint to GR was about the RR.

You know the other tree under one email address is my husband's because that is what I wrote. I am courteous enough to believe what you wrote and although I expect courtesy to be returned, I can do nothing about what you believe.

I have no idea why you keep asking whether I get something you wrote because you obviously don't get what I wrote.

I am taking it as a joke that you would complain to GR - especially over something as minor as this in the scheme of things.

What the heck??? Absolutely nothing wrong there. Hate campaign per chance?


Joy. It is the same. Whatever you like to call them, I have three separate trees under one email, you and your husband have two separate trees under one email.
You say the other tree/registration is your husband - how do we know that?

I cannot combine three separate family trees in one registration. I don't understand why you don't get that!

Yes! you would upset someone.

Off to complain to GR.......

Well, that wasn't me. It was reported as I was typing out a response.

Also, I have an exceedingly thick skin.

Not quite the same set up because we don't have multiple registrations only two individual ones even though we use the same email address.

I did not take a pop at you, I merely asked you a question because to me a person who has multiple registrations has more than one for the same individual. I note that you wrote 'only one active' but I wondered (and asked) why one individual would need more than one.

Would I ever upset anyone? :-0

Island, my OH and I have two separate trees on here and we use the same email address, contrary to what you believe is now possible.

In that way while we share the email address, we each have our own individual registration - not multiple ones.

That is why I asked why one person needs multiple registration/names because it speaks of swapping identities to me and I wondered why someone would do that.

Are you yet down to the elbow? :-D :-0

At a few minutes ago the membership numbers had reached 14,196,239.

Of course some of those will have deleted or been removed and many are additional accounts of existing members.

About 10,000 new members join every month.

It's not difficult Joy.

I had three separate trees on here - different families. At that time we could have

more than one tree under the same email. Multiple trees are still allowed but each

has to be registered with a different email. A member can do the whole village if

they so please but would need a different account and email for each one.

I am not so rich/generous/foolish that I would want to swell GRs coffers by paying

for three accounts. I only need/use one subbed account to post on the boards and

contact others.

Have you never seen a post asking how to set up another tree?

Tell her somebody. :-\

Still can't understand why but each to his own is what I think.

However, jumping to conclusions is not what I did. I asked questions.

I ain't chewed over it though. :-D

I was responding to your first line Joy, then as I was about to post (I need to look at the keyboard as I type) saw the comment about swapping from one account to another. If you'd read my 18.06 post before jumping to conclusions you would have understood.

Which bit did you think I added?

I have multiple pictures. That's what I changed. :-D

No offence intended there Island. I asked whether other people upset you too because I was puzzled.

'Cheeky mare'. .... I am upset, hurt, offended and crying in my beer now. ;-) :-D

Separate trees Joy. Don't worry, I don't abuse my superior status.

Did you add more while I was composing? I find your suggestion that I switch from one name to another 'when I have upset people' somewhat offensive. Cheeky mare.

Multiple registrations. :-S Why?

Multiple participations/multiple entries I can understand but doesn't multiple registrations mean one uses more than one name? Do you swap from one to the other when you have upset people or when people have upset you. I am really puzzled by it.

Yours faithfully,

The now-even-more curious one.

Of course you can Dottie.

Bedder than a takeaway pizza.

Trust me, I knows about these things. ;-)

:-D

Factor on multiple registrations Mr M and that will lower the membership.
I have three, only one active, and have often noticed what seems to be several entries of the same name by one person. I think between 200,000 and 500,000 at least could be lopped of the 13 mill.

Can I have a chew on your other foot Prickles? :-D

My error Joy...... :-(

Kense is correct. :-)

Sorted ?

PH you will fall over :-0

I've had to re-read this 'cos I thought you'd written that 1.362 m threads was almost the same as the number of members. And you had.

I can see that I transposed the figures that Kense wrote but I still don't know who's right cos I still don't understand how 1.362 m is almost 13.623 m as you first posted.
:-S :-S :-S

Are you right Mr M? Are you right Kense?

Rollo, it'll crash in the same way everyone's computers crashed at the dawn of the millennium? :-S

Yours faithfully,

The now-worried one.

;-) :-D

Off to chew on my own left foot!

:-D
