Some changes coming for 2023

[Cassel]

As part of my plan to always improve this site and its content to suit what you want, some changes will take place in 2023 in the forum.

 

You will notice that, between Christmas and New Year, the forum will be unavailable for a short period of time (maybe a day or two) and then, the forum will completely change format. The new forum will make it easier to quote, to insert images from the gallery, and you will be able to give "likes" and such. I know it will be different and will require a bit of adjustment, but I feel it will be better for all the members.

 

I hope you will appreciate the "upgrade".

[Bonnie Ballentine]

We appreciate all you do, Carole! Merry Christmas!

[cindy harris]

What Bonnie said cause she sayd it best,  better than me :)

 

thank you Everyone  thank You Carole

[Susan Ewart]

Good luck with the transition.  I know you will be there to guide us along.

[Suzy]

Yeessss!   so many times I’ve read things here or have seen cards and LOs, and I don’t feel like writing a big paragraph saying how much I like it or what I especially like, but would like to let the author know I enjoy what I’ve read or seen.  Especially this week in the “what are you doing in December” thread….sooo many hugely funny, cute, inspiring, interesting cards, LOs and posts I’ve enjoyed reading, but have been pretty sick and not feeling up to chitter chatter.

 

I would just like to hit the like button!

 

Merry Christmas, Carole, and all the Paintshoppers out there!

[MoniqueN.]

Oh that is really nice! That way it will be easier to interact with each other! :)

 

Hope the transition goes well and thanks for all you do :)

[Anne Lamp]

Thanks for the heads up. I will look forward to seeing the changes.  At least you don't just decide to change thing often and when you do I know it has been well thought out.  I will look forward to being able to just do a like or something. .

Looking forward to seeing what forum software you will be using. I love the other forums I'm on that have the "like" feature. I use it often! I do hope there is a "new posts" feature as well.

 

Will you be letting us know through the FB page when this will be happening? An announcement there when it goes down and comes back up would be nice so we aren't trying to get to the site.

 

Will we need to reregister with the new software?

 

Happy holidays to all!

[Cassel]

Will we need to reregister with the new software?

I don't think so. It is just like the Gallery (using the same platform) and it integrates with the current site login so that should be seamless. For those who are familiar with it, I will be using the same platform as Scrap Girls. Once the migration is complete, I will still need a little bit of time to configure everything for our use.

Will you be letting us know through the FB page when this will be happening? An announcement there when it goes down and comes back up would be nice so we aren’t trying to get to the site.

I don't think the whole site will be under maintenance. If anything, it would just be the forum that will not be available for a day or two since it is installing a separate platform and not working directly on this one. But I'll try to notify everyone, either on FB or by email.

[Susan Ewart]

Thanks for notifying us by email too.  I just started looking at FB again, but normaly it can be 3 months before I'm on it.  It's a time sucker, so I generally avoid it.

[Marie-Claire]

thank you Carole for always making everything better and easier for us. I'm curious to see the changes.

Happy Holidays.

[Corrie Kinkel]

I too will be curious to see all the changes and like the idea to give a like or short comment just at the layout someone does and not 10 posts later or so. I hope everything goes well with the transition and with some guidence from you we all will adapt very soon to the new look. So thank you for all the work you put into this for our benefit!

[Marie-Claire]

Wow Carole, what a change, I'm going to explore ! ?

[Marie-Claire]

Carole I can't go to the LAB from the new forum,
in the Menu Classes - Intermediate, it only says Masterclasses.
and when I click in the menu Classes - *Membership* I get a page with an error message
Are you perhaps still working on that?

[Rene Marker]

Yeah, the link on the header to Diamond is missing. It is after "Gallery" on the old one.

I ended up getting there in a roundabout way and putting a bookmark in my browser for it.

Is there still a Class on Sunday Feb 5, 2023 ?? I have not seen were to register for the Class.
