I've posted several concerns already but also wanted to mention that I think the avatars are waaaaay too small. Can hardly see the wonderful pictures.

When sending a PM I cannot find a "send" button.

I've been away and just opened the QB today so I understand the frustration but found the help center and realized there is a lot here. But I completely agree that I am not entitled to anything here and love all the available information. I'll keep at it until I'm comfortable again. It wasn't even a year ago that I joined and remember the long process of trying everything.

I really depended on all of you for inspiration, tips, and conversation. Please persevere. It is all of you who make this a great community.

This is my first posting on the new format. Hope it works...

And since its FREE to you, but still costs to run it..there will be ads.

I'm not very good with computers, so maybe I just don't know enough to complain, but I do know I'm not ENTITLED to anything, so I'll keep struggling til I figure it out and be grateful I still can.

No, I really didn't have any major problems with the old site when I first came to it. I joined it shortly after I found it because everyone was nice and encouraging and I loved what it offered. I had to ask about uploading photos at first but basically it was a very simple website to navigate. This particular thread is about "what you don't like...", so people are expressing what they don't like and not necessarily being negative nor critical. I am learning it and trying to share some of the things I am learning. Like one user asked me how to use this colored font when I replied to a message. There is a lot to like and a lot to dislike... We will probably all get adjusted to it. I understand how some are having problems with pages/pictures loading. I have high speed internet and use a MacBook and have no problems with photos or pages loading. Just trying the easiest way to find my way around the site to what I like to use the most. I love the QB and have since I first found it. When you get a new car, you have to get the feel for it, how to turn the lights off and on, how to operate the radio, change the clock, set your radio settings, set up bluetooth, etc. I kinda see the QB like that. It has the same things just very different now and the newness hasn't worn off yet. I liked my old car better than my new one but am not going back to the old one...

Ditto.
A wonderful, awesome Quiltingboard has been destroyed. I am sad for all of us.
