Zora Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 I don't know. Maybe it is just me and my resistance to change, but I find the new format very annoying. I just clicked on a topic and now I can't get back to it because it's been "read." Participation on this forum is dwindling. It's sad. This used to be such a great resource. Now it's barely worth the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micajah Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 I get notifications of new topics via email and if it isn't anything that I am interested in or feel I can contribute to, I don't go online to read it. So, my participation is down too. Maybe others are doing the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkazee Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 Perhaps it's something in your settings? I can go back and re-read a topic that I have already read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cagey Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 Lynn: Nobody likes it when someone moves their Cheese. This is the case with the new forum, as there are pros and cons with the new setup. I believe if make your settings as below you will be happier. It will no longer only show what is new, but will show you everything. You need to change your READ STATUS to Everything. This will allow you to go back and see everything that anyone has posted. I hope this helps put your Cheese back where you think it belongs. Cagey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlnewell Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 I think lots of folks are just busy...I know I am. My father in law had knee replacement 4 weeks ago, my mother in law is now bedfast with Alzheimers, and I've barely had time to get much quilting done. Hanging quilts and taking photos is another time consuming job. I miss having the time to check in on the forum, and unfortunately, don't have the time nowadays to comment of everyone's posts. I still think the forum is a great source of quilting inspiration. If you find it's not meeting your needs, you might try Pinterest. I've frittered away lots of time looking at quilts/quilting there.

IQuiltToo Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 I read/checkin to this forum daily. I have never been a huge poster, but there are still plenty of people posting. I learn from this site everyday. I could post more if I had the time to post more often. I love it and all your posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neher-in-law5 Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 I am able to go back to topics that I have already read. I think one of the differences to the activity level is that the photos are a separate section instead of with the any and all chatting posts. I think the quilt pictures always helped to generate comments and more traffic. When we only have a few minutes we can (should) spend scrolling through sites having them separated lends to stopping at only one section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
