Amen. I can't think of anywhere on the internet where you can get this high of a quality of service where you aren't forced to watch a 30 second info-mercial with each mouse click. Unless they are going to start charging us all $25.00 per year to subscribe, we all need to count our blessings and complain a little less. :)

Ditto!! Hoping we WON'T have to subscribe at some point.

I also feel it is well worth mentioning where else can you sell anywhere for free with the size of the membership here? Trade, give donations, etc., etc. The vast number of forums created a niche for anyone and everyone.

I for one am very thankful that Admin took an unbelieveable amount of time to create this unprecedented board for quilters. Personally I know of no where else on the internet that provides all this board offers free or even with a fee. The accumulated years of knowledge of the members is extraordinary and their willingness to share and help others is beyond comparison.

We all should be thankful for what this amazing board has given to us in more ways than just our shared love of quilting.

I love Quilting Board!
I love the Board being FREE, because I could not afford to pay! I am thankful for it each and every day.
I do like to know what kind of weird things are happening, so that I know it is not my computer freaking out! I am not complaining about the ads, they are just weird all of a sudden.

I guess I'm the odd girl out here, LOL! I don't see any ad's. I use Firefox for my browser.

The only ad I see is fairly unobtrusive just above the reply space. I hadn't noticed them until this discussion. Cool it. If your computer has slowed down maybe it just needs a defrag.

You are on the money here! We are luck to have this board for free!

I must disagree with all of you. I am finding the slowness of this board very frustrating to use. The ads do not bother me as much as the time it takes to download each ad and then each picture.I do so love sitting here each morning with my coffee but seriously doubt if I have the time to wait for all the beautiful pictures of these talented people to download.

I love and appreciate this board. For some reason, the ads have never bothered me. As long as there are no Pop-up ads, I'm o.k.
