I wonder why, at the beginning of the change over, didn't someone give us a list or program or directions as to how to use this new method. I have notes scribbled all over the place where you good people, members have given us suggestions.
Thank you so much for all your information. Without it I would not be able to find anything. Still don't like the change tho.

Geri, That's why using the Archive button is so much nicer. The entries that are actually new are listed first and turn a different color when read. None of those duplications. Give it a try.

I don't like this layout either. It's too cumbersome, so a lot of days I don't even bother to check the board. I certainly wouldn't recommend it either. Sorry to be negative, but it's my honest opinion.

Thanks for posting something postive, I have no problem with the new board.
I would like to see a whining moratoriaum about the new board.
Quilting is full of challenges, surprised that reading a new board produces so many complaints from folks who should be used to challenges.

I tend to agree with BellaBoo, I just feel like it is a chore also to read, some days I don't even bother to get on here and read. Just isn't as interesting anymore.

I think of the different jobs I've had in my life and the changes made during my years working. I think there will always be changes. For some it will appear easier and for others more difficult, UNTILL we work through it. One step at a time. I just hang in there. Learn from people like all of you who share great things.

I'm learning a little each day and things are getting easier. Can't think of anything new to tell. Thanks for the tips posted. I'm going to try using the Archive button and see how I like that.

Thank you so much for that advice! I was wondering how to avoid seeing the same things over and over on the list!

If you click on your email address at the top banner, then look to the left column, you can see everything you posted, everything you have read...etc. It really is easier...once you get the hang of it. I am sure there are other goodies I have not discovered yet, but if you find some, please post!

Thanks for the tips. It is such a help when someone does this. Perhaps in time I will get used to this new Board.
