I have to say that even though the negative comments weren't directed at me I still felt bad. I'm sorry to see some of the people leave just because somethings are different! I mean when we all started on the board it was new to us and we learned how to use it! I'm still trying to figure somethings out and I have helped a couple of people that were trying to make it way harder than it is! I am liking the new site and I thank PJ and the others that have worked so hard on it and I will be staying on here!! Thanks

THINK POSITIVE thoughts everyone!! I am not a computer savy gal BUT, am willing to try and learn. Just sit down with a cup of coffee and point and click.....There's alot of new cool stuff and SOMEONE took alot of time to prepare the upgrades ... and YES it is for our benefit. Have FUN... if you need help grab a teenager they aren't afraid to just dive in. ( and I do not have a teen around to help just my hubby! )

Thank you for your comments. While I am not wild about change, I will be one of the first to say change is good. In a few weeks we will be familiar with the new system and love it. People should not be quick to judge something that has changed until they have experienced the new way. They should think about all of the lifestyle changes in their life time alone. Like TV, cell phones, PCs, microwaves and much more. Here's a Big Thanks to everyone who worked on the update of the system.

I must confess, I'm a Scorpio and stubborness is one of my "downsides" At first I was so confused with the new board and just decided I didn't like it. Scorpios are also known for their determination, so I'm working hard to learn all the new tricks. I love this board and all the wonderful people on it and I just would not leave for anything. I have learned so much here and feel like I belong to the family. So, Patrice, I'm sorry I was such a "stinker"....I know how hard you all worked so hard to give us the best and latest technology and I'll soon be whizzing around like a pro!!!

As soon as I try to upload anything, the web site freezes up, and I have to: command/escape from a frozen site, and start all over. And yes, I have checked this out with a Mac Expert with over 30 years of experience working on every aspect of the Mac as well as building Mac websites, maintaining and upgrading Mac Websites for Corporate clients, and maintaining Mac Servers. He took my computer and logged onto your site, and after playing with it for a while, and trying to upload images, he said the problem was with the server, not my computer, and that the server isn't built to be friendly to Mac's. So I'm not trying to be negative here, just trying to be informative. I love this site, but I won't stay here if I can't fully participate. I hope this can be worked out. Thanks!

Thanks, Patrice, for changing the screen color to the soft creme; it's so much easier on the eyes.

I'm behind you Patrice.
I will continue to use the board and I know that in time it will feel like home, again. Patience and perserverence is the key for me.

I must admit that I don't get on the computer every day and after about a week I keyed in for this program and kept getting weird messages about unavailability. I started getting that panicky feeling like "where is everybody". I had to key through several days of email before I finally found one that kicked in the new setup. WHEW WHAT A RELIEF.
Not too happy with the additional scrolling required, but I'm sure over time adjustments will be made. In any case I'm very happy that the program is still with us.
