Name one thing that you don't like about the "New" Board".

When I first found this board I found it to be very user friendly and had no problems navigating and finding what interested me. I am no computer geek but I am no slouch either when it comes to computers. So when I heard the board was going to "update" I didn't have any qualms because it was so easy to begin with. Now.....what a nightmare. I don't have the time to find and enjoy what I want anymore so I am not on this board much. I really hope they will bring the old board format back. I am sure they won't, but sometimes the old saying is "the squeaky wheel gets the grease". If it is any indication buy the response to this thread....there is a lot of squeakin' going on. Are they listening?

Am hoping that this will be fixed before too long.

Depending upon the capabilities of your web browser, you may not be able to use all of these options. If you experience problems when posting messages, try switching to a different interface type.

Go to settings--top right; then to general settings--scroll down list on left. Now scroll to Misc settings and check enhanced interface. See below----Make sure to save changes.
Miscellaneous Options
Message Editor Interface:
• Enhanced Interface - Full WYSIWYG Editing
• Basic Editor - A simple text box
• Standard Editor - Extra formatting controls
After the change, when you reply the reply box has features on the top for font, size, color, similie, and upload of pictures. Just click on them to see how they work.
As to the signature, I can't help you there. Go into settings at the top right, then on the left go to signature and that is where changes can be made. Hope that helps you.

I am sorry to be negative but i so miss the old format. The new one is difficult to navigate for me, hard to find the things that I am interested in and can't go back to look at "older" stuff. Maybe this is because I am not good with computer but I was doing pretty well with the new format. m

Like mcdaniel023 mentioned I miss the unread topics! I like to get up in the morning, grab a cup of coffee and read all the unread topics. However, since the new format I am going through withdrawl! I too am open to change, but only change that is for the better-not worse! I really enjoyed this board before the change but I am going to hang in there and hope that we get our unred topics back. What should concern us all is that quite a few members that are leaving are long time members. It is our long time members that have the great wealth of knowledge to share with us newer quilters! Please don't leave, we need you!
