I thank all those involved in bringing this message board to life. I am looking around and getting used to this. I am liking what I see, and posts get posted quicker then having a lag. Thank you Moderators

The 125% should just about fit the page to your screen and the font is very easy to see. :) Have fun!


I am having the opposite problem...at 100% the print is fine but the QB is so large I have to scroll side to side to read the entire posting. If I go to 75% then some words are scrambled up. Anyone know why I am having this problem? Thanks in advance!

Also, not that it matters but my feedback score doesn't show up...just wondering????

Yes, i have to agree. The desingers and brains behind updates have a hard job. Keeping the site secure and updating to more modern things...but dog gone it...I hate new things sometimes. If I had it my way, I'd still be using windows 95. But, I'm sure that eventually I'll get the hang of the new way and learn to love all the hard work that you guys have put into it.

I really like that I can put the mouse over the topic and read the first couple lines to see if I actually want to read the post. That's nice.

I'm sorry that people are wanting to leave the board over the change. I guess I just feel differently. I had to learn to cut , piece, applique, quilt, bind and label. I've had to learn how to use different sewing machines. We all learn how to do different things EVERYDAY. This is no different. It will take some time to get used to it, that's all. Please give these changes a chance.

Thanks for all the hard work that went into this! And thanks for starting this thread.

Change is always hard -- and the folks who make radical changes are very brave. I agree, thanks for all of the work. It was a major job.

That said, there are always problems with new software (having spent many years of my life writing and testing software I am something of a expert). The developers may be able to fix some of the problems we have, but only if we let them know what the issues are. Once things settle down, the moderators might start a thread or a group for us to report issues so there are not so many random messages documenting problems.

Sierra responds: I think you took my glory.... I'm not even on the membership list anymore :(

But now I see that I am a Senior Member! I'm confused. But I am the queen of the electronically challenged! Love this site!

Oh no! I've edited my post after seeing my avatar, but have to find the new way to repost!

I'm kind of new here, but I would like to add my thanks.

The owners, moderators and developers work very hard to make this a comfortable and safe place for us to come to. I don't think most people know what a thankless job the moderators have and the ones here do a wonderful job.

Change is hard sometimes, but a necessary fact of life. I will learn my way around the new board in short order just as I did when I first got here.

It seems that the only things that are giving me problems has been with the fonts and background
color. I trust that these type of things will be worked out in short order.

You can increase the print as large as you want, on pretty much any forum or website including this one, easily.

If you have a scroll wheel on your mouse, hold the CTRL button and scroll the wheel to make it larger/smaller.
If you don't have a scroll wheel, hold the CTRL button and press the + (plus) key to enlarge, press the - (minus) key to make smaller. Easy/peasy! :)

Thank You for this update. Looks nice and modern. Now we will be challenged to learn how to get around the site and we will do it. It is Wonderful. Thanks for all your hard work.
