solution to the dilemma. There is, first of all, on the Projects page a Google search that will specifically search projects. That might be a help to those of you familiar with search engines, and know what you're looking for. That's something I'm not particularly good at, so I just throw it out as a suggestion. As for the questions people post on projects that don't get answered, how about we try this, if everyone agrees. Sometimes you just don't know a question has been asked there, so if it's important and timely, a question in the Community section might be appropriate. If you tag your question "cuteembroidery", just like this question is tagged, NOT "general", and then add the tag "project question", people who have posted projects can check quickly every time they come if there's a question on their project. You would simply go to the "topics" at the top of the page, every category is a SORT function. Click "cuteembroidery", which would eliminate every question but the ones tagged "cuteembroidery". Then, on the left side, there is a way to sort by tags within that topic. Just type in "project question", and you'll get all the posts about project questions, newest first. Much fewer posts to go thru, and you can see if your project has a question about it. You'd all have to use the same exact tag, "project question", because the website is constructed so that the sort function is very specific and case sensitive. If you type "questions" instead of "question", you will get a totally different sort, you will not get anything tagged "question" singular. Maybe y'all want to come up with another tag, but whatever you come up with will have to be used by everyone EXACTLY the same, due to the website sort function. Am I making myself clear? Sometimes I overexplain to the point of obscuring what I'm trying to get across. What do you all think about this idea? Would it gum up the Community section too much, do you think? Let me know, this is ONLY a suggestion in response to a need I think I hear from you. Love you all, Marji

Hi Marji, just thought I'd share how I search for projects::

Using the Google search from the Cute 'Projects' page, I type in the ID/name of the Cutie who posted the project. Then I just scroll through their projects, til i find the one i'm looking for.

So easy, it never misses. hugs n roses, Meganne

Well, I'm "Google-impaired", hee hee hee. Every time I try this, I get projects with the person's name as both poster and commenter. It's confusing, cause I can't tell which is which, and I get frustrated easily. So I deal with the first page or so, peek and dash. Ah, well, I'm probably not doing it right. What do I know, I still speak DOS. Luv ya, Marji
