mobile ap info - found it....almost looks like the old board
 
Found it trying to set up my phone.on the very bottom of the page is a default button,click on mobile, this will make your screen look almost like the old board. very easy to navigate.
When you want to look at another thread just click on Quilting board in upper left hand corner.Best thing is the background is NOT white:)
This will work for reading and posting in the threads. If you want to post pic or check on your blog you need to hit the default again for Full Screen. This will take you back to the regular forum.

I like it. So simple and fast.

DebraK 11-04-2011 05:28 AM

The mobile App is great! I always had a difficult time trying to read the old board on my phone.

susiequilt 11-04-2011 05:32 AM

That will be great when they get rid of the white background! Thanks.

I guess I didn't explain this right. What I meant to say was, try this on your regular computer.It changes your computer screen.

TnBecky 11-04-2011 05:47 AM

Thanks for the tip. It's better, but I still like the old format MUCH better. :)

PolkaBabe 11-04-2011 05:52 AM

At this point I too still preferr the former layout. Am having hard time to navigate around that I get to a point of giving up. Not right... Just had to vent..

DebraK 11-04-2011 05:55 AM

I understood. I just wanted to voice my appreciation for the new App ;-) It's definitely a bonus for me.

Make that I am So confused. See what this site has done to me. LOL.

P-BurgKay 11-04-2011 06:20 AM

Okay, I found it also, so how do you get back to the way it was?

Administration changed this not moderators or Patrice. We are all in the same boat here things are not listed for sale because that section is closed until Sunday.

on the bottom of page ..hit Full Screen,

pamroever 11-04-2011 06:35 AM

Ok, I couldn't figure out what everyone was complaining about with the new board. I thought it looked as it always did. Now I know. I went to the bottom of the page and instead of default I hit mobile. Now I have this horrible white screen that is so bright I almost need my sunglasses. Now there is no default setting at the bottom of my page. How do I get it back?

Kappy 11-04-2011 06:43 AM

I'm already in "default"....screen is still to bright...any other options?

Are you in the mobile style though??? you have to click on the default and than select mobile.

feffertim 11-04-2011 07:09 AM

I just did this and much prefer it. Like the yellow background much better. I don't have a mobile but this is better on my computer. Thanks for the tip

cinnya 11-04-2011 07:19 AM

I just realized that the Mobile format is driven by V Bulletin, not Internet brands.

misseva 11-04-2011 08:21 AM

Oh, I agree, when you click on the MOBIL app it makes it so much easider to read AND find things AND navigate.

misseva 11-04-2011 08:22 AM

actually if you want to go back you have to hit FULL SITE not full screen

NorBanaquilts 11-05-2011 02:25 AM

Even when I it full site it does't take me back to the default view, what am I doing wrong?

I'm having the same problem, and now I can't get to the settings page to change it back to the regular view. Don't like the mobile look. I like the regular view look! Can someone help?

carolaug 11-05-2011 03:42 AM

Wow...Love it...I just did this for my laptop...what a huge difference@!!! Thank you

lavadahaga 11-05-2011 03:42 AM

I hate this new format. I don't have a problem with change as long as it improves things but I don't have time to spend all day trying to hunt for the topics that I am interested in. I learned a lot from this board. I looked forward to see what everyone was talking about each day. This new format is disappointing to say the least and I won't be spending my time here.

carolaug 11-05-2011 03:54 AM

I am loving the mobile apps view!!!! there is a black icon in the corner that you can choose pictures and all kinds of stuff...also you can see all of your posts and threads that you commented on in your profile. Much better!!! I may just get use to this...

mimiknoxtaylor 11-05-2011 05:03 AM

Thanks for the tip. Just found it & much better! Will have to put it on my phone too.

RV Quilter 11-05-2011 06:47 AM

My background does not change on mobile. Only a couple of the posts turn yellow/cream. What else do I need to do?

jerseystitcher 11-05-2011 07:23 AM

Ugh...the mobile view is horrible on my computer! I darned near had a panic attack trying to figure out how to switch it back. It didn't change the white background at all, other than to stretch it completely across my screen. I finally figured out to click "Full Site" at the bottom of the page. Phew!

rainagade 11-05-2011 07:54 AM

I am looking for the mobile app info for my IPad.
I am double checking, what is it called and can i get it through Amazon? Itunes?
there is probably a link somewhere in here.

hpbandy 11-05-2011 07:59 AM

How do I find this app ?

PS Stitcher 11-05-2011 08:26 AM

Wait, I am very confused! Is there a mobile app for the phone? If so, where do I find it?

Up North 11-05-2011 08:30 AM

If you go to the very bottom of the page on the left hand side you can switch to mobile app'

There is no mobile app. You can change the setttings to "mobile" under your general settings here. Be careful though, it's a pain to change it back! I never did figure it out. I only lucked out because it came up with the "default" setting (the original look) on my ipad, and I went back to my settings and re-set it again just to be sure it would stay that way on my computer!

carolaug 11-05-2011 09:18 AM

The mobile view is at the very bottom of the page on the left side. the is an arrow that you need to click on that says default. one you click on that...go to the top of the page and click on the black icon that looks like it has 3 sheets on it...from thee click on what you would like to go to ...like Albums..in albums you click on the one you would like to view twice than there is a button that says next. click on it and you will see the pictures on that persons album.

Lyncat 11-05-2011 11:28 AM

Thanks. The mobile setting is great on my iPad.

agdetrick 11-05-2011 04:57 PM

if only the background was that beige/yellow color it would not be too hard....i am frustrated with it with all the side advertisements too...just going to have to learn it and want to stick to it.

DonnaFreak 11-05-2011 05:04 PM

Didn't work for me. It just sent me to a page I get at least 85% of that time that says, "Invalid Forum specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator." I can't view most posts, I can't post pics, and if anyone knows how I can resolve this, I'd sure love to know. Not that I can access any answers or anything, but still. *sigh*

Rose_P 11-05-2011 07:40 PM

Thank you! It's better, but I still see white background except for the quoted parts, and the high contrast hurts my eyes. I know it's common all over the Internet, but when you have something that's better than most, why change it?!

Dodee 11-06-2011 05:39 AM

What about links - where people posted where you could find tutorials on the internet - not necessarily on this site.
I'm still trying to figure this out - I don't care for it, but.......I've always liked change, but it would have to be an improvement.

Judy McCrary 11-06-2011 05:57 AM

New format
 
I hate this new format. What was wrong with the old one? If it aint broke, don't fix it!!
