Just my humble opinion of course, but I wonder if it is possible to have the pages readable from "most recent post" so we don't have to keep going to the last page. That was a bugaboo w/me on the previous style of the forum as well. Unless someone quotes the first comment every once in awhile you have to scroll through several pages or every other 3rd page etc.
I try not to get set in my ways and be flexible, but after awhile, it's too much trouble and too many cups of coffee to search through the morning posts.
Thanks for listening !

When I can get on the board and not get a "can not connect to this web site" message; I agree that it takes forever to navigate from one page to another, waiting for the page to load. If it loads at all and I don't get kicked off. Quilts are made for warmth and comfort. This board WAS that warmth and comfort to many of it's members. including me. The drastic change took that away. It was like going backwards MS windows to DOS. Not more user friendly, just confusing. WHOEVER desided to change everything, took the risk of losing members and thus limiting the number of views to its paying advertisers. Members of Bank of America made an outcry about the $5.00 fee and they dropped it, maybe the board should listen to the outcry of its members and bring back the user friendly board.

Can't find all my bookmarks, don't get any email notifications, what happened to all of my postings and topics? In other works hate this new format. Like everyone else I am to d#%$ old to have to sit here for hours on end trying to figure out this new c*&$. Why update something that was working? All this is doing is taking us away from our quilting and our lives at home to try and figure out something else. I use to love this board and yes I am a newbie considered to some others, but I would grab my coffee, go thru all my emails and leave the QB for last, just so I could sit here and enjoy it. There is no enjoyment anymore, this new format has almost brought me to tears a few times. So Kistie just because you have never seen me post anywhere, you don't have the right to be so rude! I do post and before this change I was considered a REGULAR! Its people like you that make this place not worth coming back to and if I get kicked off so be it. I can and will find another board to join.

and while we're at it, where is FAQ? you gave us a link and I thank you for that, but i would have to come back to this thread to locate it the next time something comes up... i have not seen the button or heard it referred to previously ... thank you for the link, but we do need its location...
