I say yes, you say no, OR People are Strange

3monst - I still haven't had any pictures of Alexander (the other grandbaby) printed or of our trip to the UK and Paris last year. I intend to, but have been decidely slack. I was trying to whittle down the photos to a manageble number but stopped at 1000 and then stopped going through them. Must get around to it again.

Thankyou Sun - he IS gorgeous.

the changes STINK.  and in a heartwrenching sort of way, when I looked for new replies to this particular thread, it declared that the most recent post was from konakat. . . .

I lack the patience to learn a new system.  perhaps this revision is the kick in the pants I have needed to get off the board.

sorry about the double post - took SO long, and wnted to leave page - so it posted TWICE...

could this ype be any smaller??????

We are really trying to make the changes positive. It will take a few days, and sincerely apologize for that terrible tech glitch. We can imagine it was quite jarring! 

Hang in there ....  

We are not trying to prevent posting. It is probably slow since we are behind-the-scenes trying to fix things. Hang in there...

OMG ... this format looks just like every message board I have ever hated and walked away from.  Never expected this.

Sure should cut down on the 'fusses' I guess ... how in the h*ll can you even tell what discussions are going on without spending hours jumping around.  Going to look around more ... but right now I feel like somebody snuck in under cover of darkness and painted my house orange.

Sorry! It WILL get better. We understand your frustrations!

Ick.  More to follow. For now just ick.

Beautiful pic, Bren!

Susie, congratulations!  Nicholas is beautiful!  I know the UV lamps/jaundice experience is very stressful for the new parents, and I'm so sorry your DD and SIL are having to go through this -- but every baby I know who experienced this recovered really quickly and has done great.  Hugs to you and your family.

Athena, wishing you the very best in your release from your job!

BarbaraA, good going on confronting your boss -- hope things will be a lot better!

Obviously, I'm very far behind on everyone's news -- and if the board continues to look like this, I guess that situation won't improve for me!  To say I'm "not liking the new look" would be an understatement!

Thanks girls - I tried calling her last night but she had her phone off. Hope everything is OK.

As for the layout - don't like the stuff on the left - it should go back to the top - makes our post area too small - better with a full screen width. It's like my internet banking pages which changed recently - looks weird.

BinVa, I just losve your lovely sitting area. I do have a question though. How often do you need to water the flowers in those pots, and do they keep the water in them. I have one, and it seems the plants are always needing water.

 I agree with all I very much dislike the new format. I guess I'm just getting old, or set in my ways, but it sure seems cumbersome to me.

Wow, I am usually on the bleeding edge of technology but I do not like this.

Bren so glad you are having fun. Athena, I am approaching my 2 year anniversary of not smoking. Just passed the 2 year cancerversary.  Susie, awwwww. Waving hi to all. 3MM, I'm with you. Been drifting away as I have been tweeting more facebooking less and working a LOT more. I'll drop by to say hi though.

It is hard to navigate the new site look.

Don't like it. Too much space taken up on the left with the navigation bar, and really dislike the active topics list -- where you can't tell what topic it is! Ick. I am usually resistant to change (hell, I have been around long enough that I remember the format before the last one ... Or maybe even TWO formats before the last one, where we could see who was actually online), but I really DO.NOT like it when my reading space is cut down by nav bars. Oh yes, I hate the recommended articles. Triple neg? Uh ...er/pr+ DCIS here.



Stomping off muttering darkly.

I am loving this color scheme - I'm agnostic on change....it depends, really.

Bren, you look very happy. Re: your other picture - is that your new gazebo? I can imagine it being so romantic on a still, warm night.

We are back on active topics YEY!!!!! This means that our posts here are searchable. I just found out two days ago that I couldn't search my posts here except manually. I think it's because we were off active topics.

This color and font may - may - decrease my proffing errors. Finger crossed. Hope everyone is having a good day.

ETA: HL - I agree about the left hand side. I HATE web sites hat don't make use of all the space.
