Thank you for your explanation. It would be good if you could recover the pre-2000 messages on the Manx Genealogy Board as well, to keep under your 'Search' option.
There is another problem with the Manx Genealogy Board. New messages which show they have loaded correctly immediately after sending them are later coming up as "The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request." This has happened to me with two recent messages.
With thanks,
Sue
