I don't like that it takes so long to go from page to page. Perhaps I am doing something wrong? I timed going from one page to the next and it was over a minute to load. I never had this problem with the old format. Again, it could be me not doing something right. I don't have the time to wait for the pages to load up. I have DSL and anything else I go to on the internet loads quickly. Anybody else having this problem?

I was just thinking about the fact that this is a free board where we are able to connect. Good point! I guess the ads never bothered me before or now, at the top of the page where I don't see them, scrolling down to read the posts........
learning to do new things builds neurons in your brain and makes it healthier. Think of it as a new work out, for your brain!
It is hard to adapt when you are used to doing things a certain way, but sometimes new IS really better.

Oh for Pete's sake!! You would think your life was coming to an end because you have to learn a new way to do something and its not easy. If half as much time was spend trying to learn to navigate the site rather than complain about it, you'd be much farther ahead.
And since its FREE to you, but still costs to run it..there will be ads.
I'm not very good with computers, so maybe I just don't know enough to complain, but I do know I'm not ENTITLED to anything, so I'll keep struggling til I figure it out and be grateful I still can.

Click theSettings tab at the top of the page. On the left hand side, under MY SETTINGS go to MY ACCOUNT, choose GENERAL SETTINGS, it will open a page of all your important settings. You are looking for Miscellaneous Options and choose advanced. This is what you are looking for.

I copied this from another poster:
Go to settings--top right; then to general settings--scroll down list on left. Now scroll to Misc settings and check enhanced interface. See below----Make sure to save changes.
Miscellaneous Options
Message Editor Interface:
• Enhanced Interface - Full WYSIWYG Editing
• Basic Editor - A simple text box
• Standard Editor - Extra formatting controls
After the change, when you reply the reply box has features on the top for font, size, color, similie, and upload of pictures. Just click on them to see how they work.
As to the signature, I can't help you there. Go into settings at the top right, then on the left go to signature and that is where changes can be made. Hope that helps you.

I don't like all of the foot stomping and tantrums. Oh, probably not what OP meant.
The last couple of weeks have been crazy, and not in a good way. A friend's husband was diagnosed, at age 36, with stage IV stomach cancer. A student at the school where I work committed suicide. Least of my worries was DD who lost her wallet while at college, trying to get license & bank card replaced while she is out of the area. Toss in a new internet carrier and getting some kinks worked out there...
Basically, I've not had much time check QB. The very few brief visits I've made, I've had no problems. So guess I'll go look for the thread on things we like!

I don't like not being able to see quickly what I want to read or pics I want to see. I really liked the old format. It was so easy to find what I wanted. I am trying, but not sure if I will take the time to mess with this new Board format for very much longer.

I'm sorry, but I simply don't have the time to read through all 31 pages to see if someone else is having my problem. At least 85% of the links I click on take me to a page that says that I have gone to an invalid forum, and gives me a link to notify the administrator. I go to that page, type in my problem, click submit. I don't know if my report actually goes thru because when I click on submit, once again I get the "invalid forum" message. *sigh*
