what does this mean? in reference to NEW board
 

I got the newsletter this morning and as usual right clicked on the topics I wanted to read and opened them in a NEW tab.
When I go to open that tab..say for instance the "goodbye friends" from NancyG...the page came up with a box that says "vBulletin message" and Invalid Forum specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator

what does that mean? where is the message....that happened to more than one of the topics I wanted to read!:hunf:

I don't know but I have been getting that also

I have been getting those messages as well. I kinda thought the mod's may have removed it, but not sure. I think these new boards have us all a bit confused...luckily they will become user friendly as we get accustomed to them...at least I hope so : )

i have been receiving those same messages.

Personally, I think it's ones they just don't want us to read, like the good-bye one, for example. I got the same thing here just now. I also click on recent messages & it takes you to the Home page, not most recent posts, so what good is it. Maybe they are still working out the kinks like this, but I can see why many just give up & move elsewhere, I am still debating. Time will tell, I guess...

Not sure myself and it also keeps coming up for me. I must be out there in la la land.....

I am getting that message with 50% of the topics that show. How do we get to the nice list we used to be able to pick from that we wanted to open. I don't have hours to sit and hunt for things.

It asked for you to notify admin. I just did that . Obviously it's something they are trying to fix.

I believe that may be the new terminlogy for "Deleted by the moderator"

I get that too. Yes, I believe it's been deleted by moderators.

this is exactly what it is

I have been using the archive link at the bottom of the page to find topics more easily. Try and see if you prefer it.

I agree-as it seems to deal with the negative posts

Trying to get around in this new setup, but trying to read on this white background really bad, it makes my eyes hurt. Anyone else have this problem?

I have been getting that this evening. Drove me nuts for a while.

And yes I couldn't figure out why my eyes were bothering me so today when I got on the computer. The backround is glaringly white. Thank you for mentioning that.

Not necessarily...I've gotten that message, clicked to refresh my browser and the message comes up. I think it's just one of the minor bugs...

Me too! I've been getting that message too. I too miss the list of subjects that we can pick from instead of just 4 to 6 subjects most of which are the same as yesterday.

I agree, they have taken our choices from us. I don't like having to open every single topic just to find I'm not interested in the subject.

I get that same message also but am so disgusted and disappointed I just ignore the whole thing...my enthusiasm (sp?) has been taken away. I'm tired of trying to figure out how the new system works...OR doesn't work.

Not only do my eyes hurt, but all this white gives ne a headache. :mad: It's like being out in the snow all day & then coming inside. Snow blindness. This is going to be a BIG problem for me. Maybe I'll start selling sunglasses. :cool:

It didn't bother me at first but the longer I'm here, I'm also noticing that it irritates my eyes and giving me a headache. Somewhere here there were directions on how to change the colors yourself but it didn't work for me.

I'm hoping that 'they' will be reading some of these and change to a more muted hue ... for instance the color of the strip where the 'reply, reply with quote might work good and then use blues where the tan/greenish area is?

I'm having a heck of a time too. What's the difference between things for sale and garage sale? "Classifieds" was just so much easier and it was the first place I went when I came to the site. What happened to the "photos" section? They were just so inspirational. Maybe everything's still here, but it's not easy to find at all.

try this .............go to bottom of page, you will see a default button-click and select mobile style.This will almost look like the old board.To see menu just click on top left side on Quiltingboard.
You can read and post on this format and anytime you want to go to the regular forum just hit Full Screen on bottom of page
Best thing, colors are so much better in this format.

Have you heard anything yet?

Up there just above the line with the thread topic, see the word "Forum"? Click on it. A page comes up with a more familiar list of areas like pictures, recipes, general chit chat, etc. Took me 3 days to accidentally click on it, but thar it is! Dunno whether to laugh or cry.

I get that error and a few others too I figure it's just a glitch in the new system. I can get on the board with no problems just certain links don't work

I assumed the posts had been deleted too. Sounds like a lot of deleting!
I'm just looking at the messages that are easy to find. I have an unpleasant feeling all the time that I am missing out on other stuff.

that is the new-deleted by moderator.

Go to the bottom left corner of the page, to the "default"viewing ..drop down menu and pick the mobile viewing..it helps..colors are different.

I can't say this change has been a easy to navigate . I find it has to many tabs and options that half do not mean anything to me. I look for only current post for the day and if I select Links it gives me everything and in no date order.
I find it frustrating to get around and takes to much time. As it was I could spend 2 hours looking at current things and now 4 hours later I am still trying to figure how to get around.

Thanks for that suggestion. I had thought it might be posted in a wrong spot and was moved to where it belonged and I would find it when I got there!

I ask patrice this because it happened to me also. She said that they are closed down because of not so nice things being said.
