OK people, enough already! The wonderful people are trying their best to fix this wonderful board, let's leave them alone and stop with this "it's slow", "it's taking too long" and "it's been a week already", "the link wasn't blue" and so on!

I am not one of the people trying to fix the board, however I am tired of the complaining! Even though all those things are bothering you, you did get on the board to complain! Stop the pressure and let them get their job done as best they can. Working on a computer is more complex than some people can imagine.

To those of you who are working to fix the board and I might add while it is up and running, I for one think that you are doing a wonderful job, I like the changes and appreciate what you have done for the board and in turn for us!

THANK YOU, YOU ARE APPRECIATED.

I agree! Thank you for saying what I was thinking.

Yep, what she said.

Thank you so much...needed to be said. Patience is a virtue!...not to mention we'll all get rewarded in the end.

TerryQuilter 04-05-2011 07:56 AM

Thanks, I have been thinking this same thing. Leave them alone and let them get their jobs done. Griping doesn't do anyone any good :!:

Thank you 3TreeFrog. My sentiments exactly.

My deepest appreciation to the administrator(s) for all the hard work to keep this board running.

(I suspect that the ones whinging about it the most are also the ones starting up the new rant topics.)

Sorry TreeFrog, I have to respectfully disagree. I am in a profession that uses computers constantly, and I know that these kind of issues would not be tolerated for more than 24 hours. There is really no excuse for this to have dragged on for this long, in my never-to-be-humble opinion.

bravo treefrog...

judy_68 04-05-2011 08:08 AM

We should just be happy its FREE and we don't have to pay for it.

3TreeFrog 04-05-2011 08:08 AM

Thank you to everyone who has supported my post. I was worried that I was going to be tossed or something! lol

Thanks again
TreeFrog

jbud2 04-05-2011 08:10 AM

And let's not forget - we are not being charged for the board!
Thank you again for your time and experience!!

mltquilt 04-05-2011 08:10 AM

In the commercial world I would have been paying for or having my pay interrupted by this type of computer problem depending which side of the problem I was on. Remember we have access to this wonderful board and all its knowledge for free.

mltquilt 04-05-2011 08:11 AM

Sorry about the recent post. Two other people posted about it being free while I was typing.

I have to agree with you GaiGai. The ongoing problems with this site really are unacceptable. I know people behind the scenes work hard. I love it here. I love my kids too. BUT. . . if they're misbehaving and don't toe the line within a reasonable amount of time, they're going to get grief from me.

The point is, some of us aren't complaining because we don't like it here or don't appreciate the good folks who run this site, it's that the problems we've all encountered since the site went down for maintenace a couple weeks ago has gone on for an unacceptable amount of time and therefore they are going to hear about it from many of us.

Juliebelle 04-05-2011 08:14 AM

Totally Agree

Katiequiltsalot 04-05-2011 08:15 AM

Well I haven't had any trouble.I've been able to do everything I did before.

Tossing a TreeFrog is not an official sport! I never bother to read the complaints as I think they are a waste of my valuable time. I happen to agree with you "Enough Already!" :lol: Let's look for the positive here and not dwell on the negative.

davidwent 04-05-2011 08:18 AM

100% agree Treefrog :thumbup: :thumbup:

You can disagree all you want.

BTW: Is that a paid profession?

Amen to that.

Linda1 04-05-2011 09:19 AM

I love this board. I am not having any problems with it. It was only a little slow for a couple of days but I still enjoyed it. I am a little slow myself sometimes. LOL

Lori S 04-05-2011 09:25 AM

I still come here everyday, and I am greatful that this is not a subscrition service that I would have to pay to participate. I will not whine or complain when I feel I am getting more than what I paid for.

raedar63 04-05-2011 09:31 AM

Yup....And while we're at it let's stop the "where's the pic" and "pic please" ,makes me crazy! Patience friends,patience....:)

And how much is your monthly fee for access to the board? Mine is free. The cost is all on the owner. Out of his personal pocket. I don't feel we're in a place to complain. Just a thought.

I'm with you, Treefrog!

fabric lover 04-05-2011 09:37 AM

Well said treefrog.
There's a lot of difference with the 'demands' for a programm or board we have to pay for, or like this one, when it's free.
It's only been 1 week ( and not 'weeks' ) . Besides, It's not slow any longer (not for me anyway) And even if it was, no body forces us to get on here and we don't need it for a job etc. So what's the impatience an the 'unacceptable' about?
Just let them do their job and hope they will continue to offer this board for free.

Thanks owner(s) and moderator(s).
Getting my soapbox back under the bed now LOL.

Quilter7x 04-05-2011 09:37 AM

Thank you TreeFrog for this thread. This is a place we can all come to unwind in and have fun at. If it's a little slow sometimes or out of service for a little bit, then maybe we were meant to be doing something else anyway. No complaints here, I absolutely love this place! :thumbup:

It was NEVER my intention to point fingers, so do not take this personally!
Having said that, thank you for your post however it is the moderators who are the ones who need the apology, not me!

Cosy 04-05-2011 09:59 AM

I wasn't complaining, just informingthat access and posting were slow. It was good to know it was not my lousy cheap computer or my lack of computer skills that slowed MY access down. I love this forum and spend waaay too much time here. You all have taught me a lot. We do need to remember, this is a free service, the powers that be have other pursuits, and the computing world is evolving every day. So glitches happen! And things seem to be up to speed this morning.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!
for this forum, for the moderators patience, for the members that share their knowledge and expertise and love so generously.
