My gander at the lower amount of pictures is that people just haven't been able to figure out the steps since the new format. I have to say, it is tricky for me, and I just keep trying, and all my friends and family known I always call myself "technology challenged" . The instructions in the thread of quilt board help at the bottom of all the threads, if followed step by step does work, but it takes practice and patience. Since the change I am not able to post from my phone anymore, only from my kindle tablet (which in MHO takes poor quality photos) which may also be a contributing factor, if people can't upload any longer from whatever device they are using. Good luck, I sure do hope more pictures will start appearing as I do enjoy seeing what people are creating and working on, or need help on.
