jclark Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 In my Favorites on the old forum I had a post saved in which Linda Reich showed us how she does a feather meander overall. I managed to find the post in which Caroline had used Linda's inspiration and posted a link to the instructions. When I click on the link all it does is take me to the first page of the NEW forum!!! I have used the search engine entering all versions of the words "feather meander" and coming up empty. This is so hard, I hate to complain when I know there is nothing APQS can do but I want my old Favorites list back--there is no way I will ever find all those wonderful inspiration photos.

srichardson Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 While I wasn't the one looking for this post I did have it in my old favourites. Thanks Vickie for finding it so I can save it again. It is well worth saving! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilting Heidi Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Yup that is the one I was thinking of but couldn't find it either. Vicki what how did you find it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandmaLKB Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 At one time when the talk of a new website was in the works, I thought about saving all my Favorites to a CD and then didn't do it. DRATS ! I did print off some designs that I really wanted to try, so I do have those near my quilting machine. But so much other stuff is gone. Too bad...............

NanaFuller Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 I am so glad to have this info. I loved that all over feather and I had it in my favorites too. My other well missed favorite was a special border instruction... I'll try and do a search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beachside Quilter Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Yup that is the one I was thinking of but couldn't find it either. Vicki what how did you find it? Heidi, I did a search under Linda's screen name. I look at her posts so much I guess I have them memorized . Maybe we'll be lucky and this will be in the book, or if not, book 2!!

jclark Posted October 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Maybe that's what I did wrong, I used her real name for a search instead of her screen name. Thanks so much Vickie for finding it again--it's exactly the one I was thinking of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antoinette Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 I had so much stuff saved in my favorites that I don't even remember what was there. Boo! I was hoping by now our favorites would be returned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilt Happy Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Can some kind person tell me if there is a "how to do things on this forum" like save posts in a Favorite? I tried to click on the upper right under my name and "contents I follow" but then what? I am so stupid with new computer stuff.! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prairie Quilter Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Carol, look up near the top of the page on the right, just above the short black bar that says "Reply to this topic" but below the black header bar that has your name on it. You should see a light grey bar that says "Follow this topic". Click on that bar and the topic will be added to the content you follow (your "new" favorites). Hope that helps. We're all still learning things about the new forum, so don't feel stupid!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borderline Quilter Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Quote....Can some kind person tell me if there is a "how to do things on this forum" like save posts in a Favorite? If you scroll right to the bottom of this page there is a 'help' button....very small text..... click on it and you will find some useful information....

chrisquilter Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Ok when I click on MY Content and there dozens of posts in there. What the heck? According to my memory, ( faulty at best) I said I wanted to follow only 2 posts. EEKS and what is with all the notification stuff. No option not to be notified. I just want to keep the post! Sorry to rant, I am just frustrated tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilt Happy Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Ah Ha! learning to use this Forum is like reading all the fine print in a contract! I am going to have to start clicking on all the small lower or upper or right or left areas to see what happens.... Hmmm. Better not do it on Halloween Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnCavanaugh Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Chris, the "my content" includes everything you have posted. I'm sorry that you're frustrated and I know a few other users are as well. It's unfortunate that we couldn't get the old favorites to work on the new Forum. But as Janna discovered, it takes a little finesse to get to know the search feature. Whenever you search, you can enter a word or phrase. Put the phrase in quotes if you want to look for the words just as they appear. Also, search by screen name, and be sure to expand the date range to go back far enough to capture the information. Regarding notification options, this help section may give you some alternatives to how you are following topics and receiving notices: http://forum.apqs.com/index.php?app=core&module=help Let me know how else I can help you!

chrisquilter Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Thanks for your help Dawn. I did find the 2 posts I said to follow under the word "contents" and not under the "contents I follow tab". I think it was a case of not playing with all the tools we have at hand in this forum. Carol helped me figure out how to save a picture, so all is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carolinequilts Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Here is my post with a picture and another link to Linda's post. Yes, Linda's post is well worth saving. I'm just about ready to do another Meandering Feathers and would have been on the hunt for the post. Thanks for bringing it up!. http://forum.apqs.co...ering-feathers/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeidiP Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Sometimes I want to save a picture of some great quilting for later. I found I can still do this with the new Forum if I click (Save) at the bottom right of the photo. Then I can hold my curser on the picture and drag it to a word file where I can note whose quilt it is and the type of quilt. This allows me to print the picture later. I save them under the quilter's name and name of the quilt. (Ex: LindaRech BasketsPrairePoints.) Those of you who know a better way within the new Forum, please tell me how to do it. I'm still trying to get familiar with the new Forum. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitaR Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Dawn? While there are so many folks asking for help, I have one that I just can't figure out with my addlepated brain. How do I get rid of "Ritarose" and get my newer by years, screen name on posts???????? I'd really appreciate your help.. Please ? Thanks, RitaR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
