I have spent hours and hours on the QB before the new change. I am quite computer savvy and can only tolerate it a short time now. Hope to be able to navigate it more quickly in a few days but just don't have time to read all the "ways" from members and admin. to do this and do that. The board must become more user-friendly quickly because newbies and oldies will not take the time to learn a new "app"...

I want to be able to go to unread "new" posts only, not updated ones along with the new ones. I, and many others, don't care to wade through updated posts that we read and passed on responding to previously. And, setting to see only posts from 1 or 2 days ago does not help--you still get those old updated posts that someone has stumbled across and made a response to. Am hoping that this will be fixed before too long.

Can't get out of this hall of mirrors. No way (that I have found) to delete the account without leaving personal info for the new company to exploit.

Apparently there is an extra step necessary before going to page #2 on the same topic. It took me forever to figure that one out. We must now change the view format (or whatever they call it). I know I am old and set in my ways but some things 'in the name of progress' just dont make sense.

I agree with the above comments, but I would like to add that I don't like the advertisements and I cannot figure out how to book mark.

This is my biggest complaint also.

I would love to have the Unread Topics feature on this new format. I would also like to be able to set the font to stay the way I like it. Maybe I can and I just don't know how yet, we will see...

So far, there's nothing I don't like
I actually find the white bkgd easier to read.
Still fiddling around; haven't got the hang of it all yet
But, think eventually I'll like it better than the old Board, which had annoying features for me

I don't like the time it takes to click back and forth as opposed to the old way. I can't figure how to even delete old messages and the stark white background gives me a headache after a few minutes.

So difficult to navigate that I expect I will stop looking at it unless I find it gets easier as time goes by. I find that to really read the important stuff will take way too much time to find.
