Patrice, you and the developers have my thanks for all of the hard work to get this conversion to happen.

I have worked in software development and testing for 20+ years. I appreciate the work that has gone into trying to customize a generic template to our quilting forum. It is good that the developers were to so quickly able to get the color changed and the font enlarged -- it is a shame that it was not done prior to release. One of the most important items when doing an upgrade is to prevent data loss -- and for this board and the amount of data that we depend on, doing this was an amazing job. I am also amazed that there really was so little down time to do the conversion. Ccongratulations.

I think a lot of the frustration is that there was no help avaible to tell us how to do things we were used to. Also, there is a lot of computer jargon (without explanation) so folks have had problems trying to make things work for them -- a lot of our learning has to be trial and error and many of us don't have the time to play around for hours trying to figure out how to do something. This lack of help and the the things that don't seem to work intuitively are the cause of frustration.

I enjoy the information on the board and I love looking at the pictures that everyone posts. I hope all of the glitches can get straightened out, and we can all learn all of the ins and outs of the board soon so we can all get back to sharing information and pictures with each other.

Thanks.
