How can I say this without getting into trouble?? I have a few seniors/elderly/older people in my life and I see the struggle they have (I'm on the cusp of this group!) of understanding and changing with technology. Some of us can function well with what we know in our routines. A change like this new format may be too much, especially for those without support or community in the quilting environment. One thing I did right away after clicking everywhere to see what is what, I also went to the Live Chat where I picked up some essential features by just listening. Ask a question there and someone will get right back to you.

My Mom, who is 85, made 4 or 5 quilts this year and I just got one. I'll be posting a picture soon and it will inspire all of us to keep keeping on!

I am 71 and don't see how that makes any difference in how you look at it. Are you saying that you are too old to make any adjustments and just look around and find what you want to see? That is what makes young people think that all us old folks are dotty and can't change anything. Try to be a bit more open-minded and keep trying. You will get it if you want to.

I agree. For the first time in years I' able to log in. Before, it never allowed me in telling me that I had the wrong password or sign in name. Now I can make comments.

I will throw my thanks into the mix, also. I really appreciate anyone that has anything to do with "running" this board. I also have learned many many things and I haven't been a member long, but have been a quilter for over 50 years. (I started when I was 6 months old. LOL)
