Hello, all, I'm starting a new thread to help our new ADMIN TaliaRose. We can put together in one convenient place some suggestions and wishes for improvements in QB. I'll begin:
Feedback: Please make it more easy to find the Feedback for Users section. It is sorely hidden at the present time. Thanking you in advance, of course!

I love it as it is right now!

There's a feedback for users section???

Seriously, I wasn't aware of the need for one. I think the board is great and quite easy to use already. But I know you IT folk are always looking for ways to improve that we don't even think of wanting.

Welcome aboard.

Have a longarming section! There are enough of us to warrant a separate area, IMO.

Could we have a Recent Topics at the bottom of the page too?

I second the motion for a Longarming section!!!!!!

I would really love to have a couple of different sections for photos. One for quilts/and one for other things. This would help because I could subscribe to what I really want to see and unsuscribe to what I don't have time to see.

Is there a way to "Like" - as there is on Facebook?

How about a poll feature:
Red binding?
Blue binding?
other?

I "Like" this idea! I'm a Facebook junkie! Wonder if we could get away with a QB Facebook fan page????

How about a WIP section where people can show us as they go what they are doing. Being a newbie and a very visual person I would love to see how others tackle complicated projects.
Thank you!
David

How about arranging the search results by original date posted?

I think FEEDBACK should include positive comments for other members who really help a lot. Such as someone who goes out of their way to look up stuff for others, writes tutes, etc.

Wow, it hasn't even been 24 hours since Patrice made her announcement and introduced TaliaRose and already you're all making "suggestions"? Give her a break...it's her first day!!!

Try the Buddy List

I was thinking the same thing! Did TaliaRose ask for this?

Knowing you are needed is the Grandest sort of welcome! It's true I didn't present a genteel 'Howdy, ma'am, welcome, welcome, welcome...' but I've enjoyed plunging right in to a big pile of work whenever I showed up new to the job.

If it aint broke, don't fix it!

I did think of a couple of features that would be nice to have.

Being able to send pictures by PM.

Having a way to readily see all the swaps you're currently signed up for without having to check each one individually. (I know, I'm lazy! LOL!)

And once again, welcome aboard.

I would like this too! Also it would be wonderful for the space to write in a PM would be larger that way we won't need to give out our email addy! ooh adding picture to the PM would be great too!

I agree, let's not scare her away! Don't overwhelm her, let's give her a chance to get used to things too.

Imagine, being a beginner quilter and someone will be asking you to make a really difficult quilt. How would you feel?

May be a little bit pressured?

I'd like to see A Permanent Topic called: Challenges which would surely inspire more to appear. Right now the UFO Challenge is kind of lonely. I'd like to see a dozen ongoing Challenges, something for everyone... which would also bring new leaders forward... to inspire us all.

Good gravy!!! we are so spoiled. It works just the way it is.

TaliaRose asked for questions, so I don't think there is anything wrong with giving suggestions for small changes. I think that if she disapproves she will tell us!

I meant when you look at someone's beautiful work and 12 people have already said how great it is, I'd like to just click "Like" so the poster would know it'd been seen and appreciated.

this is not Facebook. :shock:

I would like to click on the avatar to enlarge it.

We are not planning any changes for the time being.

i think it's unfair to start peppering her with requests so soon. and by doing it so publicly you're putting her on the spot.

this topic would swell to page after page before you know it.

i'm sorry, but this is not helpful.

I love the site and I'm so addicted.....I'm not against change, but I don't want it take away all the good that is happening. Everyone is so helpful and motivational to one another.

I really like this suggestion!

One reason I love this board is it is NOT facebook. I am not a big fan of facebook. I find it very confusing and hard to navigate. I get around fine here.
