Greetings from mainland. :)

The root site collection is a placeholder at this time. See this thread as there are plans to make changes to it.

Hi Fred Y Kelly_Edinger Norman Young,

It's still snowing on Vancouver island so https://www.dropbox.com/s/cri4pff72fxey6n/moving%20files.mov?dl=0, what's happening and then see if that happens to you.

Thanks again for your engagement. If you're every on the island, first round is on me.

  great idea to send a video! on the first part, when you're in Management, you click Browse Sites over on the right, but there's 2 'show more' over there and I didn't see you actually click Show More while you were in that library. I did see you click Show More after you went to the top level library...sorry if I missed it.

    Hi Kelly_Edinger ,
    Snow, it always inspires me. Yes, I did click more and no, it didn't show up. So, the big question <drumroll>, does it work like that for you or do you see your root site? Enquiring minds want to know primarily as this could be a signal that we've got a larger/deeper underlying problem with ctrl-alt-del at my fingertips to 'restart it'. Old Windows NT joke, sorry.

Hi Fred Y ,
The link didn't work. Gave me
"An invalid set of parameters has been specified in the url."
(started snowing again, so I'll be here.. ;-) )
