This thread is sort of a continual conversation and is confusing as heck most of the time. So I tend to check it first every time I come on QB.
The Vintage Machine section is where I spend most of my time cos I can make specific threads and keep tab on them.
I do know that when I post a thread that has a question I need answered or one like my box repair thead and it turns into a long and productive thread I bookmark it because once it drops off the front page I'll never find it again.
This is a very different forum format, but not unworkable.

I have trouble keeping up with all those new threads - mostly the same old same old. they expect NEW answers? I just send a link that should cover most of the potential problems. As far as it goes links can be made between here and the photo section - it isn't rocket science. Yes this can be hard to follow unless you keep up with the reading. I just don't bother to read all those new threads - topics go like, I found a vintage *** at the thrift store then they either want to know what it is or how it works or what it is worth or figure out what is wrong with it. What ever. Joe that should keep you busy answering all the questions - about once a week someone wants to know why their machine skips stitches or why the tension doesn't work. When I do catch it I refer them to a thread I spent a lot of time putting together so they can trouble shoot it themselves. If you have time to answer each question every time they come back up I guess you can stay busy.
