No. Probably what brought about the change was technology. Some of the older forum formats are no longer being supported. When a situation like that occurs, as the forum ages, there are not only security risks for all participants, there are no new updates and if the older forum software would crash all content could possibly be lost because there is no tech support to call. Could you imagine the wealth of information available on quilting board being lost? It would be a shame.

Me too, this feature let me make the most of my time while I was on the board. I really hope they bring it back.

the part I've really hated so far is the fact that my private messages were filled to overflowing! Messages from way back when I first joined were miraculously still here!
I had deleted all but the most recent ones so was surprised when I found all those old ones still here.
The part that frustrated me was the fact that if your box is full you can't send or receive any new ones. Uh-oh.
I cleaned those babies outta there quickly!

I agree. I don't understand what all the fuss is about because I had a hard time with the old system when I first joined the board. They're gonna have to learn a new system when they move so why not just stick around here?

Believe me, I have no problem with change when there is a clear reason for it. I am a change leader in my work place and I am normally the one encouraging others to give change a chance. But I also know that there are good ways to introduce change, and there are not so good ways.
So don't tell me its all about my underwear. It's not, and it would nice if there could be some acknowledgement of the fact that the fallout is not all about resistance to change, but also about poor communication. I don't like the tone that is bring used on here, just telling everyone to get over themselves, or that they are behaving like children, or even phrases like "shame on you". That is seldom helpful when people are feeling confronted and indeed is more likely to make them feel like they no longer belong in a place where they once felt safe.
If people are to continue to participate in this comunity they need to get past their negative feelings with a bit of support and listening. Where is that happening? I am not seeing it anywhere.

I agree with the last two comments and wonder at the people who are insisting that we be patient with the way we were thrown off the pier but they have no patience with us and our rightful complaints (re: communication; I have been asking for a glossary. the FAQ link [doesn't work after i finally found it, have hopes for tomorrow], the My Pages area [not blog, private note-taking area], the Unread Topics information [which other members have found a way to circumvent, the info did not come from the admin people] and the Watched Topics.... [this is the only area that the admin gave us info for... and even changed the way it acted at the beginning...thank you admin, we really appreciate this even tho it takes several clicks to accomplish what used to be automatic for us] from the very first time i was on the new format ...none of these communication questions has been addressed. Where is the tutorial? Where are the answers to questions placed on the threads asking for questions? If we are impatient, then it is because there is reason.
