Wow, the formatting and all on this new lay-out is not growing on me. I see there's a quick-reply window down here, which I am now using, but I can't figure out how to quote and reply to a post. I wonder what the framework is for this look- not anything I've seen before, and I'm fully twenty years online now. The right-hand sidebar is especially distracting, and I can't imagine why anyone would have thought it useful. And there are standard clickable icons for coding a BB post that have been in use for at least a decade: for the most part, they are not the ones chosen above. (and you can't hand-code, I see, which is going to slow me way down, ugh).

It's almost as bad as the Live Journal "upgrade" and that has the excuse of being designed by Russians.

Still really cranky if you can't tell. Griz's little escapade with my breakfast has resulted in unpredictable blood glucose levels, which means I'm on a short, short leash for at least the rest of the day, the sun is shining, I have tons of work to do, and short of carrying a lunch with me I don't dare go out and get too involved with anything for fear of getting lost on the planet. And all the waterbunks were frozen this morning, so I'm behind as it is.

the quote button and reply button are in the same place they have always been...lower right hand corner of every comment...

You can use the BB code IF you change your prefs. That would be the fourth choice, just below the final post and before the Reply box. Just change from RTF to BB in the pull down menu. It works, I tried it!

Notification on new posts is VERY slow. And some of my subscriptions don't even notify me at all!

ok, it's been about half a day, and I'm getting used to it. In Fact, I am liking it a lot! Posting is easy, and formatting text is really cool; lots of new formatting tools available.

Going out now to collect eggs. Got so many already, making either broccoli or sweet potato souffle tonight to go with the pork chops.

Boy it's cold today.

Well blow me skirt up! I got way busy for a few days, and missed about 50 pages of posts. and look what happened. This has been a bit of a shock coming back to a whole new forum. I've read the last 10 pages or so, but I am still not sure if I can get all the missed pages read. Eenie's little sister has been hanging out at my house for the past couple of days. Becca has been having me sew clothes for her American Girls doll. I am only so-so at the sewing thing. I am still trying to master straight seams, while creating quilt tops. Garment construction has never been a specialty of mine. So that is what's up with me.
