If ur like me I have a lot invested in the ppl I've met on here! Too many are like family! It is my lifeline. Especially when your disabled and don't get out much. It can get lonely. We don't give up on family when there's change!

I have learned through working on computers that programs get updated all the time, and I have to learn how to use the new programs. I have found out that it isn't long before I am comfortable with the changes. So I don't stress out any longer over changes on the computer. This new board is taking some time to learn, but that's good for my brain! I hope everyone will give it a chance.

I think we will love it once we get used to navigating around again!

I'm enjoying the new look of the site. It is taking a while to find everything, but that is the fun of it. What will I find today? :) It keeps the old grey matter working and we can all use that now can't we. Congratulations to Patrice and everyone else who was a part of this change - it is great!

The envelope itself doesn't change colors but goes from open to closed. Threads you read that don't have any new posts since you read them will have a closed envelope, ones with new posts since you read them will have an open envelope with a letter extending out. Next to the the open envelope there is a blue icon with two arrows, if you click on it, it'll take you to the first unread post in that thread. I believe the color of the envelopes depends on how "hot" a topic is.
Also once you read a tread, the title is no longer in bold.
Hope this makes sense.

WOW .. all I have is praise for the people who run the board. They have a tough job, so do as others are doing (its change, move forward!) and read I realize its hard-but we all have to do it if we want this to really succeed for all of us !!

Ya know, CHANGE is good. I agree, it keeps us young. As long as there's something new to learn, your brain is working. How many have worked at jobs that something 'new' is always happening, everyone has to gripe a bit, then before long 'it's old hat'. I just wish everyone that has negative remarks would just take a bit and search the different spots on the new board. It's really not that hard to navigate. If there's a thread you're trying to find, just go to Search. It just takes a little thinking, grab a cuppa something (coffee) and have some fun, it's a new adventure. I'm 70, and I know if I can find things, there's others that can too. We all need NEW things in our daily lives.:thumbup:

How do I change my format color when I write notes? Will it stay that color??
