The Forum

You can lookup through previously asked questions.

If you do not find the answer to your problem, feel free to post a question. Someone will answer you, either from the Ancestris core team or from other users.

In order to post a question, you need to register. It is free and does not require any commitment.


How to access the forum

Ancestris forum can be accessed on forum.ancestris.org or from the Ancestris web site under INFORMATION.

The forum is available in several languages.

You may choose to be notified when a question is posted or when it is answered.

By default, no notifications are sent to you.

As opposed to the distribution list, the forum is a place you go to. The distribution list goes to you every time somebody writes to the list. Also, the distribution list does not allow you to see emails prior to your subscription.


Helping others

When reading posts on the forum, feel free to reply to questions you know answers to.

You will most likely be thanked for your help.

It becomes much easier later on to ask a question yourself!
