I have been off of the computer for almost 3 weeks due to illness. When I tried to log on using the links in the e-mail messages that had piled up I kept getting "site not found". I finally did a Google search for Quilted Paradise Digest and found the board again. I'm not going to say I don't like the new format because I haven't used it enough to form an opinion, but I will say that it seems to be a little less "user friendly" than the old format. That said, I will continue to try to navigate the new forum because I really love this group. There are so many talented and helpful members.
