I find I spend less time on the quilting board due to a multpitude of reasons. I have a rural internet connection and with the many advertisements that pop up all over the page taking time to load it really slows down my viewing. The need to "accept" the terms and conditions every single time I log on as well as the many threads that are not quilting/recipe related cluttering up the "What's New" feed, I just get tired of finding my way to what's of interest. I recognize that our "free" membership comes at a cost of seeing advertising, but it's everywhere - top, bottom, middle and sides of the page. Sometimes a video window pops up mid page as well. I just don't have the patience to wade through all of this just to find what is of interest.
