RootsChat Main Boards:


You can choose to "collapse" or "expand" boards, by clicking on the board name. For instance, if your main interests are in England and Wales, and you never visit the Ireland or Scotland boards, then you can "collapse" them. This has the advantage of hiding details which don't interest you, and the page will load faster in your browser.

Following the list of boards, you can see the last 5 topics posted, with board name, topic name, poster and time of posting.
