Well said, Gladys.
I've seen several forum change and some gone completely. The worst was when they changed to a different format and lost all the archives. Oh the screams we could hear all over. So I think we should be very thankful that everything we posted is still here.

Patrice, thank you and all the people that have worked hard to get this new board up and running. I believe the old saying, "if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all."
That being said, I like the new format. I jumped in with both feet and the water is fine. LOL

Patrice, thank you so much for your hard work & time you spent for all of us on this board. I don't know my way around yet but I didn't when I first joined either. I have been so inspired by so much on this board & have made so many friends & I will learn again just like I did the first time. Thank you again.

Patrice, thank you for your hard work and patience. I know that I had some issues the first day and did a little venting myself - however, I really love the chat room and don't want to lose the new friends I'm making - I hope ppl will be able to calm down and stick with it . Thank you again.

It may be nice to have a help page for members to get questions answered. Maybe there already is but I have not found it yet.
Keep up the good work. The site is a great upgrade!

[... there may be many new things that are good, but we got hit over the head with literally dozens of new things to learn at once with no instructions or tutorials to help... i just found out there was an FAQ today..[/QUOTE]
Being that I am in the middle of a HUGE software change at work, of which I could write volumes about it's lack of user friendly design and the dozens of WTF moments while I train my staff LIVE with no hours, with a wonderfully obtuse binder, and video help that duplicates the binder and NO ONE who will listen or answer any questions...
And I am doing this with customers on the other side of my counter. Day after day...
Suffice it to say, THIS MONTH was not the best month for me to have to learn a new website for pleasure!!!
However, it makes SENSE....I may not agree with all of the choices, but I haven't felt the strong urge to take a hammer to the screen, like I do at work...LOL!!!!

Patrice...it's nice to see all these great comments about your efforts and all the chocolates, hugs, and whipped cream they want to send your way. If it were up to me, after the week you've had, I would PM you a double bourbon, but I haven't found that button yet...LOL!!
You keep up the good work, and I will try and keep up with my learning end of the bargain. Thanks to you and all involved in the change.

I haven't been on as much as I use to but, I will as time allows. I'm hacking my way through some and learning from others 'in the know'.
