Thought I was on the wrong forum!
 
I haven't been on here in a couple months. So I come back on here to sign on and see this completely new layout. I thought I was on the wrong quilting forum! lol

This happen to anyone else?

I think this is a pretty nice place to be now that it is changed. It is just a matter of looking at what you are interested in learning and go for it. You can teach an old dog new tricks if they want to learn. I find this site to be very user friendly. I make a short cut to the desktop for my no quilting chit chat and also the one for mission organizaton and I leave www.quiltingboard as a short cut also. I never sign out so I never have to log in and I can go read what I want when I want and ans what I want. I find it a delightful place to go and see what everyone else is up to.

I think we are all adjusting. As time goes by and we spend more time here it gets easier.

Welcome back

Welcome back. I have been here almost everyday and I still can't get used to the new layout.

noveltyjunkie 12-10-2011 06:02 AM

Oh yes. Lots of us were pretty sad about it, but we are still hanging around hoping it gets easier.

I have hung here since day 1 but it doesn't get much easier. There are some spots that I still can't find. Since there is advertisement about telling our friends about the site if the new QB has lost more readers than they anticipated? I don't think at this time that I would recommend the site to new folks unless they are really computer literate, not like this old fossil who has to hunt and peck.

Yes, all the time. I don't visit every few hours as I used to. Now it's only when I want to
see what others are doing, maybe once a day or so. Not worth the irritation any more.
Too bad, since there's such a vast amount of talent and nice people here. Hope most of
them stay.

I'm getting used to it. You may not know that the old site was about to crash @ Patrice. It just couldn't handle the huge #s of us that had joined. Sooooooooooooo we need to be happy with what we now have. If you want to get emails re threads you want to follow, go to Thread Tools at the beginning of the thread. Click on Subscriptions, then on Email. No more getting emails for all the threads you comment on - just those you want to follow.

That thread notification by email function does not actually work, sadly.

The new site has lots of things to offer- and is very much like the old site with new outside wrapping.

Just like everything else it had to be updated - you buy a new computer it now has Windows 7 not Windows XP we adjust.

Things have settled down, lots if behind the scenes have been happening - now if everyone can sit back, relax and enjoy as before :)

PM me with areas you still need help in - and contrary to what you are saying the membership has soared :)
