Question

REGISTRATION IS CLOSED!

September 28 - October 1 — the start of Family History Month — is our third annual "Source-a-Thon".

Hi Sheryl, I know it can be confusing when you first get started doing anything on G2G. There are three different options when responding to a post, and although they seem to all do similar things, they are technically different. This is my understanding of the different ways to respond to a post:

1. ANSWER: This can only be done one way. Go to the very top of the page, read the original post [the "Question"] by Eowyn. At the end of her post just after her signature line, you'll see options to either Answer or Comment. Select "answer"  from there. Eowyn will be notified that there is a new Answer to the Question, which she can then respond to by assigning a bib number and adding to the list of Source-a-thon participants.
2. COMMENT:  This is an option for responding to either an original question [at the top of the page] or to one of the answers to the original question. A Comment is NOT an Answer! 
3. REPLY: This creates a response to any other comment or reply. A Reply is also NOT an Answer!

Especially for a Question that will get as many responses of all different types as this one, and since Eowyn is so very active all over G2G and WikiTree, an Answer allows her to focus on making sure she accomplishes the purpose of the original Question, which is to assign a bib number [or provide additional instructions] to everyone who wants to participate. Anything short of an Answer can cause the request to get lost in the overwhelming chatter of all the other responses.

I hope that helps clarify things!

---

Thanks so much Joyce for the clarification.  I think I have put it in the right place now. Fingers crossed.  :)

---

Please assign me to Bama Bushwackers! Thank you

---

Melissa and Lee y'all need to go bak to thetop and ANSWER not comment.You can only get registered by Answering.

The Southern Super Sweepers Team is full, thank you for requesting SS Sweepers. Request earlier for the next Thon, C-a-T spring 2019.

---

  It's not too late to sign up! Team Acadia has plenty of room, and every little bit counts! You don't have to commit to the entire weekend--every unsourced profile that gains a source is a win in our book! Please scroll all the way up to the question at the top of the thread and click on Answer (not Comment) to join any team you like!

---

Excellent guide, Joyce!

---

TODAY - Wednesday 26 Sept - Eastern time - is the LAST day for registrations.

The time now is 9 AM Eastern time on that date.

Which means you now have 15 hours left to register if you have not done so already.

---

This says it's close to be apart of the sourceathon...is that correct?
I'd like to participate, I am from Melbourne Australia.

---

If the registration thread is closed then yes it is too late to be officially registered.

You can still participate, source profiles, and add them to the tracker . You can also watch the Video hangouts, but you are not eligible to win prizes in the Video hangout draws.

---

I would like to sign up again.

---

Hmmm.  I think maybe my sign up did not go through and then I might have commented rather than answered.  Perhaps I have missed it for this year?

---

One last attempt.  I think the issue was every time I tried to answer in order to register, I was logged out somehow..

---

Sorry Tiana, but registrations have now closed.

---

I've been registered for about 3 weeks and am looking forward to working with my mates, the SANDRINGHAM STROLLERS!

---

I have you on the list on the Sandringham Strollers page. You are our 21st team member, I have not seen your badge number yet but it will be out soon

Look forward to working with you again

Janet

---

Just realised this is the 2018 thread Carol

---

I just realized it, too! Sorry! When I work late at night, I get lost! I am registered with the Strollers in October 2019 and will be working in Cornwall. Again, I apologize. It's been a week! Thank you Janet for all you do. I really look forward to working with you and the team next week in 2019!

---

received email dated 10/2 stating last day for source a thon, and when click to register says registrations is closed????

---

This one is the 2018 thread - you need to answer the question for 2019.

---

it again with another prospective teammate or G2G question.  Thanks
