I have not been able to get on this site, finally figured out a different way to log on. If I could have gotten on a few days ago I would have read the posts and knew what was going on. It's not that people haven't bothered to read the posts, perhaps other people had a hard time figuring out how to log on also.

I am confident that the board will get these kinks worked out asap. Changes as major as these do take time. You never know what is going to happen with such a major change as this.

use the paperclip to the right of the smiley which brings up manage attachments... which only appears on posting a new post, not here in Quick Reply. Choose your pic from your computer and scroll to the right to upload. If you want to post a pic in your reply, you have to go to GoAdvanced and the Paper Clip does appear to the right of the Smiley

I sure hope they fix the blogs too.. I go there everyday,,I hope it is as important.

Totally agree with you. I haven’t been able to get on for days now. Only right now was I able to do a work around. I know nothing of the changes.

if it's any consolation at all I am suffering along with the rest of you.

when i encourage patience, i am talking to myself, too. :-)

i can't find the "Go Advanced" in my current view.
where did you find it?

Thanks for the update. Any time major changes are made to a website there is a lot of confusion and change is never easy. I am doing my best to stay positive and I know the kinks will get worked out. My biggest problem is trying to keep up where I left off because there is no change in color on postings that I have read or responded to. Of course I would like the text to be a larger font size. The rest are small things that will just take learning. I do like the 'thumbnail pictures and the ability to see them and then enlarge them when/if necessary. So much is going to be learn as we go.

Thanks Patrice for your hard work and for being patient with us. LOL I know we are almost like a gaggle of geese trying to figure things out. I can't imagine the stress that you are under with this change.
I'm sure things will be worked out soon.

I am with everyone else. Not happy with the new look. Are you still working on it? Please go back to the old way.

New Format
 

I'm sure there is a reason for the changed format, but for me the transition is not friendly. I do not recall seeing a message any time this week that there would be major changes. I'm glad you set it to start today, the 31st, and not the 1st. I would have hated waking to this tomorrow after watching football tonight to almost midnight.

It reminds me of when Windows makes a major change like from XP to Windows 10. We had to learn everything we knew all over again. There are a lot of kinks here but I am sure they will be fixed over time. I also miss our avatars. Trying to see if there is a way to identify my postings too

I'm not liking the new format. Hope it changes back soon

Not liking the new format at all. Spent yesterday and finally this morning to try and log in. It would not accept my original password at all.
Finally had to request a new pasword to get it to accept me. I have since changed my passwword back to the original one.

My eyes are getting worse and this new format/colors aren’t working that well for me. And the print seems tinier on top of it.

I agree with Susie Q. It feels as if I have lost a whole circle of friends and advisors. I really enjoyed the Daily Digest.

It appears whenever you click on New Thread or... when i quoted you, the paper clip appears. When I simply hit Reply, the paper clip appears at the bottom of the Reply typing box next to Post Quick Reply. Please let me know if it does not work this way for you.

I am confused about what is happening. All I know is that I really miss the Quilting Board Daily Digest. I also miss having font large enough so that I can easily read it. Change for the sake of change is a waste of time. If one cannot improve the product, please leave it alone.

Also when there are several pictures - is there a way to go from one to the other to see them larger? I found that you have to go back out and then click on the next thumbnail picture to see it larger. This is unacceptable, please fix as soon as bossible !!!!!

I, too, miss the change in color. I have found, though, that unread threads are bold aqua and turn 'unbold' when read.

For me it is just too hard to read and of the posts! Way too much white, there is no place for the eyes to rest between the posts. You would think with all the fabric websites the web-designers would understand us?

Do we have any idea when the site will be in it's final form?

"If you had read the post on the change"......it was gone before I could read anything. Can someone please post how to get around this to access the Daily Digest....or is that impossible until things are fixed?
Thank you

I'm ok with the teal...but dislike the tiny pics...not good !

I have been searching for several days to even find this. My e-mail from Quilting Board that sends links to quilting articles comes up as " no page found". Hope it is a glitch and it changes back soon.

The sky is falling! Everyone, please just simmer down. This is a first world problem. Yes, it’s frustrating when you want what you want when you want it. Maybe when we can’t log on, go do something productive like tidy up our sewing rooms or work on a UFO or watch some youtube for inspiration. I’m talking to myself and I’m confident this whole thing will be old hat to us soon enough.

that is very low on the list of priorities.
we do not need the emails or the digests.
there are far more important issues for the techs to work on right now.

i don't see what you describe.
however, using the quote option i did find the "Manage Attachments" waaaaaaaaaaaaay down the page.

i also found the "go advanced" again.

i need a sack of bread crumbs to drop as i explore this new system of caverns.

i know it's all going to get better.
i keep reminding myself that patience is a virtue.

however i have noticed a few patches of hair missing this morning. lol lol lol?

is there an Inbox somewhere for messages? can't find it.

Thanks for the update. Please, please tell me that Chat Room will be back ...

you can control your font size using your browser's setting.

i make no promises.
it is at the very bottom of the list.

think i see it now, under my picture and Welcome with my forum name.

Once they change it they never return to the way it was.

Second time they have changed.

I do like this new look. I have had a very difficult time getting in at all and find that this is very difficult to navigate. I don't like to have to hunt for the next thread or try to figure out if I even have the latest. What happened to the resources page? Where are the thumbnail identifiers?

Love the new format on my iPad! Bookmark worked fine, logged me in on the first try. Excellent!!

I’d been afraid they were closing Quilting Board when it wouldn’t work at all for a few days!!

I'm not seeing any teal - chocolate brown borders on both sides.

that is not going to happen.
the tech team will, however, work hard over the next weeks or so to make it look more similar to the old format if possible.

take some time to fish around the menu bars.
there are new things i like.

and check out the FAQ on the top menu.
i haven't had time to read all of it but what i have read has been helpful.

I agree. The new format is very hard to read. On the main page that titles are on 2 or 3 lines and the tiny pictures are terrible. So much clicking and opening to see a pic. I had to quit the MSQC forum several years ago because of this format. *sigh*
