    Hi CG's

    I definitely DO NOT this new "board".  It is taking me forever to go back and find  the beginning posts from today as you have to go back post by post, not by page.  If this was the way the boards were when I first signed on, I would not have stayed.  I love reading all the posts by the sisters and Peter, but this is a real Pain!!!.  Not sure I need this hassle in my life.  I sure hope Marissa and Tami can see all the comments.  I sure hope that I am not in the minority as thinking this new "board" stinks.  BTW, last night while writing a long post, the boards went down.  Luckily I copied my post and saved it on Word, but I don't feel  like looking for it right now.  Maybe tomorrow.  My kitchen is quite the mess.  Everything is covered up that is not being paiinted.  So no cooking.  Craig is going to pick up dinner at the kosher deli for Shabbat dinner.  We will eat outside on the patio.  Sweet dreams and gentle hugs to everyone.  Karen in denver.

    I do believe it is bed time for me. Watched Wild Hogs after dinner. Laughed myself silly.

    Love you all to bits, even if you are dressed funny

    SoCal don't think they have set it up to cut and paste using firefox

    I left a comment in the bugs section about it

    Heres an interesting response in the complaints section:

    Hello Everyone,
    Unfortunately (and fortunately) we need to keep up with technology, and make changes occasionally. There are tons of glitches, as we expected. We are sincerely listening to your issues, and working very hard (behind the scenes) to make the necessary changes. It is a much larger task than one would guess.
    Thank you for your patience, your suggestions, and your understanding.

    Best,
    Melissa, Tami and team

    Okay,if it weren't for all the new system conversions at work maybe I would be a little more receptive to all these board changes.  But really after spending a long day at work working with computer glitches and trying to get IT folks to come down to earth to the users level, I really don't want to spend my 1-2 hours of computer time trying to figure out this board.  This tired CG is signing off for the night.  Wish every one a restful night and may the boards behave better in the morning.

    Love and hugs to all.

    I have tried posting twice and they don't show up.  I sure don't like this new format for the boards.  it is NOT very user friendly.   If this is how the boards were when I first visited bc.org, I don't think I would have stayed.  I like the old format with all its glitches much better.  I have tried to go back the the first posts for today and it seems like it will take forever.  How can we complain and will it do anything.  I don't think the boards are user friendly at all.  Am I in the minority?  From the few posts I saw it seems not. Wishing everyone sweet dreams and feel good day tomorrow.  BTW, when I was posting a long post last night, the boards went down on me!!  Hugs, karen

    I am not impressed. Anyway here is the post I was working on last night when they kicked me out for all these improvements to be made.

    O.K. well thats not going to happen. A window came up and told me if I copied and paisted from Word this web site would have access to anything I put in Word. At least I think that is what it meant. Who knows. As I said I am not impressed. I will give them time to fix this though. I am sure they don't want us all to leave.

    I spent over an hour just trying to navigate the posts from today. I am done. Night night.

    Cheryl well said my friend,

    BrendaBMD not sure about copy and paste using word but I was unable to copy and paste using firefox

    Have a good night and maybe the moderators will listen to what is being said and take some action. I really think that  there has to be some major changes to bring  it back to a user friendly site again before to many members leave.

    good night all.  I posted under the "bugs" thread.  I hope they can fix things.  I'm willing to relearn stuff, but this is a bit much all at once.....

     Hope everyone is doing well...i can't get these pages too load fast enough to read back very far. 

    I'll try again tomorrow.  Hang in there....we will figure it out and hopefully they will get the problems fixed..

    Hugs

    Maybe they put too much time and effort into the look and not the user friendliness .. like this for example:

    Oh Dear!

    Oh My

    The Community Knowledge Exchange experienced a technical issue from which it could not recover. System administrators have been notified of this problem and will work hard to make sure it does not happen again. You may be able to continue to use other areas of our site. We apologize for the inconvenience.

     On this note, I'm off to bed again

    Charlene, I hate that face with her hand up there as in...ooops! I have seen her all night. I'M CAPPING COS i CAN'T SEE THE TINY TYPE. i'M TRYING TO PRETEND THAT ALL IS WELL AND THIS BOARD AND MANY FRIENDS ARE NOT FALLING APART. IF ANY OF MY FRIENDS ARE STILL UP WOULD YOU pm ME JUST SO i CAN SEE HOW IT COMES ACROSS AND IF I CAN FIGURE OUT HOW TO ANSWER?

    WENT TO IOWA TODAY, DIDN'T GET HOME TIL LATE AND TO THIS MESS ON THE BOARDS. OH WELL. ANYWAY, THE XRAYS LOOKED REAL GOOD AND THE DR WANTS ME BACK IN 30 DAYS WALKING ON THE CAM BOOT WITH OUT USING A WALKER. YIKES!HE THINKS IT'S HEALING WELL AND THE INFECTION SITE LOOKS REAL GOOD. SO IT WAS A GOOD NEWS DAY, WELL, FOR THE MOST PART.  HAHAHHA

    ALL CHANGES ARE HARD TO GET USED TO. BUT WE HAVE ALL HAD TO ADAPT TO SO MANY. THIS FORUM DOESN;T FEEL LIKE HOME BUT I WONDER IF IT WOULD IF I'D JUST  FOUND IT? I DON'T THINK SO BECAUSE IT'S NOT AS USER FRIENDLY AS THE OLD ONE. I'M AFRAID THIS IS NOT GOING TO WORK OUT. WILLING TO GIVE IT A CHANCE THOUGH.

    WHAT I REALLY WANT TO KNOW IS THIS....IF A FRIEND POSTS 4 HOURS AGO, 4 HOURS AGO FROM WHEN? WHAT TIME ZONE, MINE, PACIFIC, EASTERN, WHAT?  FOR INSTANCE, 4 HOURS AGO FOR VICKIE WOULD BE 6 HOURS AGO FOR ME AND EVEN 8 HOURS FOR SHIRLEY??? COME ON YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO AT LEAST LET US HAVE A DATE AND TIME....

    IT IS 3:31 A.M.  HERE, CENTRAL STANDARD TIME,  USA

    Good Morning Everyone:  Well its a new day and I have lots of hope that I will be able to figure out the new system.  Change is so frustrating and Im not one to adapt well to change.  It did get a bit chilly last night so Ive put some logs on the campfire and there is fresh coffee brewing.  So Im hoping as you all wake up you will come sit with me and enjoy some conversation.  I didnt sleep too well last night.  Never have been able to sleep good in a new place.  Set up my wagon - but the night sounds were different.  Sorta got used to that old place we all lived in so comfortably.  I do think stepping back for a while, helped me to understand a little bit more.  Ah yes, Im rambling.  So good morning to all my special friends. 

    Im laughing cause I got the ladies face this morning too.  But being the boardaholic I am, I persisted in finding a way to talk to you all and somehow it worked.  I always liked that lady alot more when she had her hat.

    Cheri:  Thats just the best gosh darn news.  Im so glad the doctors appointment went well and that the leg is healing.  And you can walk on it!  Im doing the chemosabi happy dance with you.

    Well its been a frustrating morning.  Whoever mentioned using the refresh button - it does seem to work. 

    I really did want to say hello to all of you - but, well you all know why I didnt.

    Amy:  good luck with your tests today.  I will be right there with you.  Arms crossed making sure everything is ok and of course ready to wave the italian finger if I need to.

    Denise:  Harris?  OMG Hahahaha

    Jan:  Whats this about you leaving.  No way, no day

    Sherloc and LIz:  I must agree, this is just like when the chat was changed.  Remember those times.  That was sure hard to get used to, but we managed somehow.

    Love ya all.

    oh my...i managed to sneak in...keep getting the "oh dear" statement!!

    Good morning sweet family,

    Sunshine sister Nicki...time to wake up.

    Good morning Jankay....I'm almost ready to jump in the shower...no you cannot come in!

    Cheri...whew...this is hard...how was the dr's appt.

    ok....i am just going to say i love you one and all!  I am sure that the technical team is working furiously to get all the bugs worked out so we are a happy bunch again.  They surely understand that we are a hormone deprived, overly anxious, sometimes depressed, borderline crazy, bunch of sisters that they have to look out for.  Given a couple of days I'm sure that things will improve.  (they better or this hormone deprived women will be the first to end up in the looney bin!)

    love ya all...i'll check back in later...have a wonderous day!

    Good Morning Dear Friends. It's 4:21 pacific time. Why I'm up at this hour is beyond me but figured I'd make the best of it. Gonna try to read back a few pages. If I get that stupid O Dear lady one more time I'm gonna beat her with a frying pan.

    Have a great day all of you heading to work. Peter sweet dreams

    Geez.......I don't know about all this!!!!   Why can't they give us times instead of seconds ago, minutes ago, etc?!?!

    Just went to pm vickie and I guess I have to redo my address book!  Might be because they gave us new names!!

    Love you all and hope you have a great day!

    When I logged on it said "Angel...a few seconds ago"    but right above me right now is "peter...11 hours ago."  

    OMG....how does that prayer go?   "Grant me the courage (strength) to accept the things I can not change!"   I think that will be my new model with the boards!!!!

    I'll be back when I figure out where I am and where I'm going!!

    Hugs,

    I can only see this page, it won't let me go back even 1 page.   Soooooooo frustrating.

     Does anyone know why they did this?  I know it won't do any good, but I just don't understand.  What was supposed to be the benefit of this change?
