Siena Posted July 2, 2005 Just wondering if there are any "about.com" people here! Thought I'd explore this forum and see if it's any different/better than About, which just went through major changes. Si Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EminsMom Posted July 2, 2005 I heards about this awesome site from there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sjkmaurice Posted July 2, 2005 I've been here a while, but I did learn about crochetville from about.com and I really don't like those changes. I can't mark them all as read and I don't like navigating through posts I ignored the last time I visited. Also, I think the format is just confusing. This format is easy to navigate and there's always someone to answer your questions, most of the time right away! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bobbie Faye Posted July 2, 2005 Hi and from my little corner of Northeast Ohio! Glad you decided to join us. I haven't checked out the About forum ... Sometimes their site makes me crazy! You'll this forum! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yarncat Posted July 2, 2005 Hi,Si!I just signed up.I don't care for the new format at About. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RachelG Posted July 2, 2005 I'm a frequent poster here at Crochetville and an infrequent one at about.com. Welcome, Si! (who likes to tease me about crocheting ponchos and tiny swans!) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Angelhair Posted July 2, 2005 Hi Si, I'm from the About.com forum too. I am not a fan of its new format either Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
klouised Posted July 2, 2005 I've tried both, and I definately like this one much better. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EminsMom Posted July 2, 2005 I really like the fact that there are not any pop-ups here, and I can find where I posted many different ways. It seems on About that if I would post a question and then reread if I thought that someone posted to it because it said new or I would have something to add, it would drop of the board and never to be found again.

Siena Posted July 2, 2005 Catherine, great to see you here! I don't like the About.Com format either....I think we're all scrounging to find a new 'home' and so far, this is at least doable! Now, we have to spread the word and get a mass exodus happening cuz the people over there are too special to leave behind! Si Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Siena Posted July 3, 2005 Rachel, Rachel, Rachel! However do you have time to make all those ponchoes and tiny thread swans AND do your website AND post on all these forums?! You're one busy lady! I hate the new About.com format so we need to spread the word to the regulars that we're here now... Si Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Siena Posted July 3, 2005 Great to see you here, Alex! that new format is really the pits, eh? Si Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yarn Duck Posted July 3, 2005 Welcome to Crochetville. I've lurked around the about.com site in the past. I've seen the changes there and I don't like them either. You'll love it here at Crochetville!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Si I still haven't gotten up enough nerve to do the swan, but I have three ponchos. Yes, tell 'em all we're here at Crochetville, and that it's a fabulous place to be!

Siena Posted July 3, 2005 Hey Julie!! I take it you're the Big Wig around here, huh? *g* We're happy to be here! While you're here...I'm wondering why at the bottom of my screen it says I 'may not post attachments'. I can't even post photos of my crochet???? Please confirm! Thanks, Si Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Siena Posted July 3, 2005 If I can figure out how to post a message in that horrible new format, I will! LOL!! Si Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Siena Posted July 3, 2005 The thing with the swan is.....after going to all that work...what in heck are ya gonna do with it? LOL!!! I'm doing a doily (first in 6 months....woe on the eyesight....) and about 4 afghans simultaneously. As I say to the yarn manager at Walmart....SO MUCH YARN, SO LITTLE TIME Si Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bythehook Posted July 3, 2005 Hi Si, good to see you here. I've been here a long time. I wondered if you'd ever come on over. About.com was my first forum, but after joining this one, it became my 2nd forum. Dot Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KSCrocheter Posted July 3, 2005 Hey, Si, this is Crochetntheflame from the About forum.... and Hi to the other Kansan on the boards! Hi and Howdies!!! Nita Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KSCrocheter Posted July 3, 2005 I don' t like the new set up, much either..it's TOO confusing and a major pain trying to find what I'm looking for! The other set up was better. Everything was easy to find,and in basically ONE central location! I'm hoping that this one will be simpler to navigate! Nita Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Siena Posted July 3, 2005 DOT!!! So glad you're here too! I really don't see why these forums have to 'fix' what isn't broken, y'know....Compuserve revamped their forums, as well, so a bunch of us who went to the Cat Forum there ended up elsewhere, as well. Just call me the Forum Nomad. Si Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

While you're here...I'm wondering why at the bottom of my screen it says I 'may not post attachments'. I can't even post photos of my crochet???? Please confirm! Thanks, Si I'm not the Big Wig, I'm just kind of one of a few of us with mysterious magical powers and very little social life besides Crochetville. As for the attachments, I believe that's another difference from about.com, they did attachments, yes? You can show your photos here, check this post and this one for how-to tips.

Michaels Gram Posted July 4, 2005 Catherine, great to see you here! I don't like the About.Com format either....I think we're all scrounging to find a new 'home' and so far, this is at least doable! Now, we have to spread the word and get a mass exodus happening cuz the people over there are too special to leave behind! Si I'm so happy to see others from about logging on here. They created a monster over there, it won't let me post a reply and it kept telling me I had an error and I have no idea of how to fix it so until they do it better, "Carol has left the building" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
