I will now "sing praises". I have had no problems since the board maintenance. Let’s move on to chat about what we all love “quilting”

nena 04-06-2011 06:58 AM

My thoughts are we are so addicted to this board it is like a drug addict that cant get his fix for the day.
We get the shakes..... lol

Love this site,warts and all! Keep up the good work.

dixiechunk 04-06-2011 07:03 AM

If you aren't having any problems then you aren't experiencing the frustration those who have been having problems are. If you were, maybe you would be a little more sympathetic to their "complaints". The whole topic brings me back to that old adage "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!".
I haven't been having any problems but I am, in general, completely frustrated by computers so I can sympathize with those who are.
Now, I've had my say before this thread is closed or deleted.

Ditto!!

mimiof3 04-06-2011 07:06 AM

I'm happy that it's up and running - slow or whatever doesn't bother me. I'm just happy to be here - love this site. Keep up the good work! Thanks for all you are doing.

melhuff 04-06-2011 07:06 AM

Well Said...and I totally agree!!
Thumbs up to those who graciously GIVE us this board!!

Dear TreeFrog: You go girl! People should know by now that
some things just take time. I am not real computer literate and try not to compalin when something is not to my liking. However, I really wonder if some people are addicted to this QB and it's rough when it isn't there just as we'd like it to be. Thank you for the reminder.

brendadawg 04-06-2011 07:17 AM

Thanks. Maybe I'm not on here as much or on at the same times, but I haven't had any problems. Guess I'm the lucky one?

debbieumphress 04-06-2011 07:20 AM

OM gosh. I know we all have good points but....really???? Read thru this again, every one of them. No one complained about the Adnim or Moderators, but the probelms they are having. It's not the Quiltingboard itself but those they chose to do the maintencance work. If you hire a bad plumber, you give him a chance to fix it before you fire him and hire another.
No complaints should be posted - Patrice J said to send an email/pm to Admin.
If we did that, there would be no negative posts or threads on here and we would be happily back to the way we were.

MY CHALLENGE TO EVERYONE ON THIS BOARD IS TO SEE HOW LONG YOU CAN GO WITHOUT POSTING A NEGATIVE THREAD OR RESPONDING TO ONE ABOUT THE MAINTENANCE ON THE BOARD. WE CAN ALL WATCH AND SEE THOSE WHO CAN'T BE PATIENT.

I agree with everyone who has problems but I also agree that the negativity on the board about these changes right now is making me crazy. I hate the way we post to each other. It is awful. Everyone is entitled to their opinions. But you are not entitled to be ugly and quote someone else and be rude. So let's support this board and NOT NEGATE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So - THE CHALLEGE IS ON... Can you do it????? Wishful thinking on my part????

TO be fair not everyone will see this so I might have to post it on the main section. ROFL.

Sharonsews 04-06-2011 07:21 AM

Thank you for speaking up. Fixing computer sites is not an easy task. Many thanks goes to ones in charge. I have loved making new friends help me along the way from this board. I appreciate learning from everyone!

FranCFries 04-06-2011 07:26 AM

THANK YOU!! Tree Frog And MOST OF ALL Quilter's Message Board Gods!!!! Sometimes, people FORGET!!! That this is FREE and we ARE NOT paying these WONDERFUL people to help us stay in contact with other quilters. So Be Thankful For Having A Message Board - and allow the Board God's to do what they do, and maybe give them a LOT more THANKS and NOT so much B_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _!!!!!

I agree! Have to remember it could be worse!

debbieumphress 04-06-2011 07:39 AM

Just saying....I know some are having real problems, I agree, and they are frustrating. But this board is my home away from home and I like to keep it safe from harm. I agree with the ones who are voicing their opinions, it is allowed, I dont' agree with the negativity the posts create. I have flying monkeys and I'm not afraid to use them. ROFL. Let's move on.

gnewk 04-06-2011 07:43 AM

here, here!! Thank YOU!!!

Just Jane 04-06-2011 07:47 AM

I second that! In particular, I love the larger print. I was okay with the smaller print, but I'm sure in a few years I will enjoy the larger print even more! Thank you for your hard work!

deedee 04-06-2011 08:11 AM

I agree completely -

The larger print is sometimes considered "yelling" and since I don't yell, it is to get attention. SO far so good. HUGS everyone♥♥

Together we can ride out the storm.

craftymatt2 04-06-2011 08:23 AM

Yes, thank you and thank you

ligia 04-06-2011 08:25 AM

I´ve read all pages.
Over 90% of the posts are from new members.
Since QB was sold I realize people who used to take strict care of it
have been quiet. We just love to be here but with 27.553 members it IS a company business.
That Gorilla made a good job and we miss his administration.
Lets enjoy the board while it is not too bad. Yet.

cdufur 04-06-2011 08:26 AM

I agree with you about the complaining. If we were paying for it then we would have something to complain about. This is a free service and I am thankful to be able to use it.

catsnchina 04-06-2011 08:26 AM

I agree with all the comments. Upgrading and maintaining a website is time consuming. Thanks to the website administrators for all their work.

Gee I didn't know there was a problem.

dixiechunk 04-06-2011 08:53 AM

Ever notice that the men on this board never get caught up these rants? They are so unaffected by drama/emotion. Gotta love the men.

janisspencer 04-06-2011 08:53 AM

I agree, thank you quilting board for the work you are doing to keep this the great site it is and has been.Jan

I think those of you who have been here since the get go, and some of us over a year, know what a great board it is and are giving it time to "heal". What company that is bought out doesn't have changes? I still think it's the best. That's a lot of people. GOsh.....

MsSewer 04-06-2011 09:20 AM

I agree

MadQuilter 04-06-2011 09:22 AM

Can you imagine if all 27+k people griped at the same time? Yikes!

I don't envy the IT group who (I'm pretty sure is more frustrated than all of us put together when things don't work) for trying to fix all the bugs. Some of the bugs can be quite elusive.

Too many of us get too complacent when it comes to our happy little cyber-routine and when things don't go well. I for one have not had any problems for a day or two. I may have to change some settings - so what!

Acolades to you tree frog! This is a free site and we should be grateful to those who are running it and for our being able to use it for our pleasure.
