    Same here BMP...I get the emails for the Digest and all I get when I clic on the Digest is that same message. I enjoyed going to the Daily Threads or most recent ones. I wrote an email to the site, but haven't gotten a response yet.

    It was cranky for me all day Sunday - and today it's slow in responding - I think it's undergoing some maintenance or something - and 'they' underestimated

    Nothing happens for me on a Mac. The message just says Safari can't open the page. Agravating and I tried Firefox with some results, not much.

    If anyone figures this out, I'll be happy. I've had trouble getting the site to open and sometimes the messages are quick and other times take so-o-o long, I just give up. Have had this problem since yesterday and it doesn't look like it is affecting everyone. Wonder what's going on.

    I can't open anything on my emails but I can get on by going to google and getting the board. I can't imagine why this is so. Very disconcerting -- any explanation from our moderator??

    I've been unsuccessful in getting any daily digest's to open from my email notices. I've always received an error message as well. I hope this gets fixed soon.

    i'm sure they will fix the links coded into the emails soon.

    in the meantime, The first and most important thing to remember is that the emails are not the board.
    They are only a link to a smattering of thread links.
    They barely scratch the surface of all that's available here.

    If you know you want to come to the board often, the emails are a waste of time.
    they slow you down. why wait for an email?

    You never need those emails to connect to the board.
    Just come straight to http://www.quiltingboard.com

    You can add it to your browser favorites/bookmarks, put a shortcut on your desktop, or (if you are a total QB junkie like me) you can make it your home page.
