RootsWeb: LIST-UPDATE-L [LIST-UPDATE] Unsubscribe problems and some suggestions

Hello,

I had ADSL problems so I transferred over to another email address.  I 

had problems unsubscribing to the CAN-BRITISH-COLUMBIA.  I got an 

unsubscribe confirmation message but the mail kept on coming.  I finally 

got unsubscribed after trying several methods including sending to the 

admin.  So I can not pin down what worked but I ran into problems.

I am likely the 503th person to post the same problem on this list which 

is only moderately hidden.  It would be useful if an archive of this 

list is available at least during the change over.

The webpage for the lists using the new software did not seem to be 

updated with new subscribe and unsubscribe information.  Maybe it has 

not changed but there is no indication.  After I found out the problem 

may be due to changed mailing list software I had to think some more.

I remembered that subscribe and unsubscribe infomation is usually put in 

the headers.  I tried the webpage and was greeted with a no 

authorization message.  The mailto did not seem to work either.

So I ended up sending a message to the admin address and went to bed. 

This morning I was unsubscribed.

So I suggest the upgrade process is more visible on the website and to 

remember that the job is not finished until the documentation is done.
