And I hope you keep on chattering.

[Susan Wise Bauer]

We're going to keep the other boards up for the time being, but I hope most of you will decide to move on over here and create a profile for yourself. I'll be checking in regularly too.

[Jennifer]

I'm so excited to have this forum up! I really like the email notification of replies and the ability to pm someone.
Thanks!
Jennifer:D

[GothicGyrl]

I like this MUCH better!!!!!!! So much more efficient and focused.

how to respond to others posters, how not to accidentally start a new thread or how to start one intentionally.

...and how to insert a smiley...ah let's try this...

[Quiver0f10]

Hi everyone! :D

[Liz CA]

LB, may I *borrow* your post to practice responding? Obviously I have not frequented many forums in my life.

I tried the "quick reply" button but nothing came up.

[HappyTree]

It will be a lot of fun and I think a little more versatile! Thanks so much of all of your efforts in keeping everything going:)

Mary

[JudoMom]

I think I like it! Thanks!! :D

[Scarlett]

****o everyone! I'm excited!

[Brigitte]

Old dogs and new tricks - oh no!

Just so y'all know, I dropped the in NC from my Login Name since we are moving out of state in the summer. I don't think there has been another Brigitte on our old board.

Great new boards.

Thanks, Susan!! (and Bob and Heather!)

[Peek a Boo]

is there a way to view all the messages in a thread, or do we hafta open each thread to see what else is being said?

[Mamagistra]

I'm overwhelmed! :) But at last I can unveil my new name.

Wheeeee! Thanks, o wise Wise Bauer and Wises. :)

[j.griff]

:-) I like the new board! Thank you Susan!!!!!!

[HollyDay]

I havent been on a board like this since The Ricky Martin Fan board (too many years ago to say). How do I pm and email and use those really cute smiley things??

[Basketmaker Amy]

Thanks, Susan!

Amy

[Tammyla]

I went out to shovel snow and Shazam! This should be fun:rolleyes:

PM... click on the name and select 'PM'

The smilies write themselves when you do the traditional ones... OR you can click to the right or in the pulldown smilie face at the top of the reply boxes :)

[Tressa]

I like this format so much better! Thank you! :)

[moodasz]

Ewww! Change is sooo hard (she said with her whiniest voice!)
Great time to change screen names - ed's daughter is no longer...it's moodasz!

Question - is there any way to see more than 10 messages at a time, so the pages aren't so short and have to be flipped more often?

[Maria/ME]

Just saying "Hurray" for the new boards...much more user friendly...and checking out the kinks in my profile.

I "think" if you go up and click on User CP and then click user options you can change the number of posts per page. I think. I'm going to try it myself.

People have their avatars, their signature lines with links...I'm so excited!! I'm looking forward to learning more about people and even making new friends through pm. (That's a transparent plea-someone pm me, please??)

[Remudamom]

And I'm a computer idiot.

[OnTheBrink]

I Love this format! I'm bookmarking it and everything!

[Krista in LA]

Change is hard but often good, so I'm going to try to adjust. I do like having the pictures, and some of the other options, like editing. It will just take some time to get used to it. Thanks for having these forums.

[Amy loves Bud]

Thank you, Susan, we appreciate all you do!

[Amy in Orlando]

Thank you - I much prefer boards like this! Off to find an avatar.

[Ellie]

Ok, it's kind of weird, but I'll get used to it:)

[astrid]

WOW! Look what happened while I was busy doing other stuff!
I had no idea this was even in the works!
Hmmm....I"ll have to get the hang of it, but I kinda like it so far!

[Karen in CO]

I took my kids to the library of all things and missed THIS. I was on this morning and when I came back from the library, imagine my surprise. Oh wait, you don't have to imagine, do you?

[Lizzie in Ma]

I will adjust.:rolleyes:
No matter the format, I love these boards and I treasure both the Hive Mind and their collective knowledge and personalities.

[cbollin]

Nice new software.... it'll take time to learn the ropes. Looking forward to it

[ustasmom]

I love the next board. I typically didn't talk much on the other board as threads would get buried. Now posts will be bumped into view.

Many thanks!!

[Donnado]

I am so thankful for this Forum. It has been such a support for me during the last 8 years of my homeschooling. I love the wealth of information, experience, friendships and support that this board brings. So...Thank you Hive Mind!

[Cindy in FL.]

Thanks for all you do, Susan Wise Bauer. You're too good to us!

Cindy

[Tammy in Germany]

I love the new forums! Great job! :D

[Hen Jen]

I like the new boards, tho it's going to take a while to get used to...funny how we fight change. I used to think the old boards were hard to use, then I got comfortable with it. I like being able to associate a photo or image with a name, lots of fun!

now off to see if I can get a photo in my avatar,
I am a computer klutz...

See- I did do a signature thing!! (you have no idea how long that took me!!)

I used to be Jenny in Ca-

now, I'm....
