Since the admin of Ancestry Improvements saw fit to move bonedigger's post and my response from her sacred board, I am reposting both here. It would appear that the admin of this board is a little less strict regarding what is relevant and on-topic.

"I've reported this issue before, about a year ago, but it still exists. The dates in the Indiana Marriage Collection, 1800-1941, are formatted as "month-month-year" instead of in "month-day-year" format. See my example screen shots for Jacob Fritz and Rosanna Sindlinger attached. They were married on September 3, 1872 in Owen County, IN. Instead of the date, September 3, 1872, the date appears as "Sep Mar 1872". After following the link to attach the record, the date leaves off the actual month of the marriage and shows only the day, the 3rd, which is shown as a named month, "Mar", with the year 1872."

From the same database, see the attached purported "record." The correct marriage date is given in the "Comments," while the transposed and truncated incorrect date is given as the marriage date. In addition, the bride is listed as the "performed by" individual.

Thanks, Bob. I'd pretty well given up since the posts about this kept being moved or just deleted altogether. Especially after Talbo's post of another thread about a problem with a record set with a response encouraging such posts to the Improvement board, you'd kind of think the admin for that board would understand why I and others posted on "her" board about fixes needed to improve user experience and usage of their product.

As of this moment, it languishes unread and unresponded to on the moribund board to which she moved it.

Yes, I've seen that. Relegated to nowhere-land.

Where, via the Message Boards, is it appropriate to report Problems with data collections?

Ancestry Site Comments board?
Ancestry Improvements board?
U.S. Records Collection?
others?

Jim: thanks for the info...I have a question. If staff regularly checks the Board Improvements board and it is somewhat considered to be an "official" Ancestry board...how did a volunteer admin become the admin of this board? AND, more to the point, why is SHE permitted to MOVE messages off the board that staff may wish to respond to or take action upon before you all get to see the messages?

Thanks for any insight into how this happened...this used to be a staff adminned board and the fact that a voluteer has this board has confused many people (including me for a time and I was once on RootsWeb board staff) especially because she uses an email address of "rwadmin" which additionally adds to the confusion that she is staff when she isn't.

No lambasting here. Thank you for responding even if you think it somewhat platitudinous. You get an A for effort and an INC for execution.

But mostly thank you for reaffirming that PROBLEMS with the site and with collections can be posted here.

===========================
No, for many of us the Improvements board WILL NOT DO. It is the subject of capricious, and often, wrong-headed movement and deletions by the Admin. For example, the Indiana marriage problem was posted there TWICE and TWICE it was moved with no explanation given.

Bob: more to the point...this is precisely why I asked my question of Jim above.Let's wait for the response?

Unless you received a private message, I assume that there has been no response and the capriciousness continues.
