What is going on with the book marks??

Everyone seems to be putting them in the community bit.. Is it because of the quiltery thingy.. Hope all are ok, me doing fine (ha Ha)

I thought that links to sites were supposed to go into bookmarks.

I think that we all want to share the new sites, and bring them to the attention of those that don't check the bookmarks. I for one, wouldn't know that someone had found a site with wonderful freebies if they didn't mention it here. So... I am thankful that they do still share them here. ;)

I check bookmarks and would like to see all new sites there. But maybe the name needs to be something different. The first time I clicked, I thought I was going to get designs to make bookmarks. Jan

mollymarie, I am with you - I have been wondering why they don't do that for the past month - I wish that we could get the Q&A back to what it is intended for - I am with you all the way.

I am with you molly. This is getting out of control, The Q&A section is barely used for what it was intended. Hope we get it back on track *

I think it's only certain people doing this, posting masses of links, and for me it is overkill! As soon as i see such a large number of links in a message it puts me right off so i just close it. While I can appreciate they have gone to a lot of trouble, so many of the links are repeats, or incomplete deadlinks. Who has the time to sit and chase up so many links?? only to find you've already been to that site, or that link leads nowhere...
Maybe i've become a little jaded, i know i've become more selective about freebie designs now, they have to be really special before i will download them.

Just my opinion and probably not of value to anyone else,

Web links (URLS) should be posted in BOOKMARKS Section and a message posted here to tell us there is a new Site added to Bookmarks, Unless it is a reminder to collect an ongoing set, or a pointer to the VOTE request for the day, i think those are different. hnr, Meganne

And while we're on the subject....
Now that we can post pictures and movies in Community, shouldn't we keep the projects section JUST for embroidery projects????
I thought that was the reason for Veronika giving us these great new options.
Just my opinion...
Besides if you post in Community you can search for, or mark the posts, and are able to find them so much easier.

I'm with you. Projects should be for embroidery.

Well maybe if there were actual instructions to this site as to what goes where instead of assuming everyone knows what everything is or that requests go through at certain person and that person decides if your request will be granted through the site it may help the rest of you. I didn't know this stuff.

That's a valid point Busymum, it certainly would help those who haven't been here long enough to witness all the changes taking place as they happened.
Thing is, there are no hard and fast rules, Veronika allows us to run riot here (LOL!) which is why this is such a great (fun) member site. And any comments members make are purely suggestions and nobody even has to listen to them, let alone agree with them or abide by them.
Maybe you could write to Veronika and suggest she post guidelines for using the site, as a relativley new member she would probably take more notice of you than one of us 'OLD' hands.
hugs n roses, M
