See you over there

Hi Lois - good to see you too! I'm off to where Wendy pointed me to now.
Marianne

Hi Wendy;
Thanks for getting in touch! Nice to see familiar faces. I'll head off to the thread you shared and see what you've been up to. I'm sure you've all been very busy.
Marianne

Thank you, Kathy, for the e-mail address - I'll try contacting them although the last couple of times I've contacted tech support I've never got an answer so didn't think I'd have much luck with other services hence looking for something about paying in the forum.
Marianne

Marieanne, Good to see you. Many of us continue to carry-on nearly like before. Wendy's directions are good. Hope to see you around.

Hi Marianne - while I monitor the forum for questions, technical problems, issues, etc., I don't handle customer payments. Please contact TQS customer service for your concerns regarding your renewal payment. The email address is tqscustomerservice @ gmail.com - Eliminate the spaces before and after the @ sign; I had to add those so that the address would appear in this message.

You can also link to customer service by clicking on 'CONTACT' at the top of any page of the TQS website (it's in the gray banner, starting with Home then Daily Blog, Join Free, My Account, Contact.

Wendy, thanks for letting me know about this question!


Kathy

Nice to see you again Marianne

Those of us who survived the changes stick to the thread part of the forum and ignore the Community part which is almost unusable because it depends on friends like facebook. Use the Recent Topics tab at the top to keep up with new posts.
I'd love to see what you've been doing and I'm sure others would. A general thread for chit chat and showing work is this one thequiltshow.com/forum/beginners-corner-ask-anything/7356-quilting-new-year-s-resolutions-for-2015?start=930. I think most catch up with that one.

We're got a mod now and I think she'd follow up your concerns on security. Its really important and needs to be looked at it's Tribblemom (Kathy). I'll point her to your post.

I haven't visited the forum or the gallery since - forever. Got lost in the new forum and all the problems surrounding it last year so gave up. I was in two minds about renewing my membership but have just done so as I enjoy the shows but am now worried about the lack of security doing so. No payment security involved so wonder now if I did the wrong thing using my card. Last time I paid without added payment security my card details were stolen and I had terrible trouble I only looked in here to find out if there was another way to pay but seeing nothing I happened on your thread and thought I would tell you why I for one am not visiting any more.
Re the forum and gallery - maybe people feel like I do that it is so much like Facebook that you just don't want to get/be involved? I don't do Facebook because I don't like the complete lack of privacy control and the feel of the forum here changed when the site changed. To be honest the whole site is so maze-like that it will be a major undertaking to catch up again so for new members it must be very off-putting. At least I know what used to be around. I will look in again to see what is going on but it will have to be as good as the Quilting Board (where I've been hanging out after the site here changed) for me to bother returning.

Cheers BJ it worked this time

Wendy, you can edit it from "My Gallery Quilts" under "see quilts". It allows you to edit your gallery quilts there.

No was just posting a quilt in the gallery at your suggestion. I want to post a couple of quilts I've made so will start a new thread tomorrow and make it obvious its to show work in progress

You make some good points. Thank you

The CW thread links to the group and there's the full explanation there about the title and challenges etc. It got really difficult using the group section for chatting so it was decided to carry on with the thread and post pictures there so that the work can all be seen together. Does that help

Wendy, did you mean the post card comment for another topic? Just wondering.

The long threads are only a part of my concern about the site. I wasn't thinking of any particular thread, and it wasn't meant as a criticism. Personally, I don't feel unwelcome to join in, but I find it hard to jump into those very long threads if I haven't been following them for a while. I wouldn't be surprised if others do too. What does "Chinese Whispers" mean in relation to quilting, for instance? How many pages do I have to go back and read to figure out the topic? I have started threads myself. It's now spring, so who would know the New Year's Resolution thread is actually a "Work-in-Progress" thread if you were new to the site. Just some thoughts...not a criticism. I'd just like to make the place comfortable and fun for everyone. I figured I would get some feedback on this topic. LOL

Oh dear I posted a post card but then realised it's a mug rug but can't edit the description. Sorry if I confuse anyone
