Jean in Newcastle Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Quick reply is the closest to nt. You don't have to do a "title" - just a short message for the "body". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LizzyBee Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 I am not reading as many replies to the original messages. It just takes too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIch elle Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 I miss the old board!! There is so much dead space to scroll down to see messages and more difficult to read & find topic of interest quickly. Michelle in MA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janna Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 much more difficult to follow the flow of the conversation. I open the posts and don't find the responses nearly as interesting because it feels like they are not tied together at all. I'm missing the old board. Lisa This is how I feel, also. Although it does help to have the option to thread, or as I prefer, to "hybrid" the conversations. At least that way I get a glimpse of who was responding to who's response, kwim? But even still, there is little way of bantering, and I think my biggest thing is not being able to search the boards as easily. I know how to search in this format, but it's not as quick. As others have stated, and I agree, it will keep me from being on the boards as frequently - which is a good thing. Far to easy was it for me to quick pop in and do a look-see, only to end up sitting down and staying for awhile. This way, I have to be a bit more calculated as to when I get on here or not. My children will be happy about that, I'm sure. :) It will all be good in the long run. It's just going to take some time. ~Janna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daisy Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 I think I'll get used to it. It is quite a learning curve though. This board is soo busy it is hard to follow what is going on. I also am having all kinds of "server busy" problems so I've been checking in less often. I'm hoping things will settle down a bit and hit a groove. Until then, I'm not spending much time here. I've got too many other things to do, like blog. LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinkInTheBlue Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Definitely posting and reading more in the last 24 hours. I think it's easier to read for me since it's like most message boards seem to be. I forgot about being about to just see the "new posts". I'll have to try that.

Josie Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 I don't visit as often because I don't have time to deal with the learning curve right now. I may find some time to learn the ropes later. I posted something a day or so again and I can't even find it now! LOL Oh well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovemyboys Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Kalanamak said it beautifully for me! It seems to be a welcome change for many who have more computer time than I'm able to do. I loved the old boards for the easy scan I could do, and breezy way I could see what was going on. I'm sure I'll still come for specific questions and topics, but I doubt that I'll drop in like I used to. And in the long run that's probably a really good change for my life, there's lots that I should be doing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue in WI Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 I too would pop in occasionally to see what was going on. I only posted occasionally because the board moved so quickly. I will probably spend about the same amount of time as before, but I will probably post more often because of the way the format has changed.

Liz CA Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 It's harder for me to keep track of the people and topics because of many more clicks and I'm on dial-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
