First of all, I have to say that the new format does not bother me at all. It is much like other forums I have been to, so it was not a difficult transition at all for me. After giving it time, I would have to say that the thing I miss most is the "unread" topics option. On here, I now use "what's new" but it's not the same and I probably miss a lot of posts that I would otherwise enjoy seeing. Sometimes I do just go to a particular category, like pictures, and view from there. Or go directly to tutorials if I want to see what's new particular to that category. All in all, I applaud the moderators for reacting quickly to concerns and doing everything in their power to improve the board. It's hard work and they have taken a lot of criticism and I think many of us would just throw up our hands and quit. I come here for the people and the inspiration and the incredible support of other quilters. That hasn't changed, so I'm here to enjoy! Happy sewing everyone!
