amyole Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Just wondering where everyone is lately... this forum is very quiet. Is it because everyone is busy working on the spring fling? Just a shout out to say I miss y'all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa_F Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I'm here. I noticed it's kinda quiet around here too. I haven't posted in quite awhile but I pop in when I can to get my mini fix! I've been busy working on my honeymoon cottage project. Just uploaded photos to the gallery if anyone's interested in taking a peek. I didn't finish it in time to enter the contest - by the time I figured out what to do with the kit I knew there was no way I'd finish in time. But I'm kinda pleased with the way it turned out.

kandykidsaturn Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I'm around too. It has been awfully quiet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dotj Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Sadly, i never quite got the hang of the old forum format and am just too tired right now to learn a new one. A tree fell into our house in March and blessings of blessings no one was hurt, not even a miniature lol, but my work room has become our temporary clothes closet, broom closet and whatever else needs stored place. Then there are the adjusters and contractors and craftsmen and inspectors etc, in and out, decisions to be made, Yawn, i've tired myself out!! I hope i will be back more later on.

Songbird Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Glad to hear that no one was hurt Dot! It is hard to work on minis when your Real House needs attention! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minis Over The Hill Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Feels kind of eerie, like everyone moved to some other town. Dot, hope your real house gets fixed up real soon, and glad nobody was hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I haven't left, yet. We'll be moving later this summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just One More Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I'm not on as much because I haven't figured out a lot of the new things yet. Posting pics is still not easy because I have to change browsers each time. Still can't put one in a post. I check the gallery every day and see what everyone is working on and read the new posts. We all like to see pics so I don't post much about what I'm doing until it gets easier to upload. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kabrina Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I noticed it's been quiet too. I'm still here though, check in practically everyday to see what everyone is up to and looking for new eyecandy. Love to see everyone's progress but it sure has been slow lately. Hopefully when the new "old" format returns things will pick up again. Strange how something seemingly so little as a forum background can have such a strong effect on everyone. LOL I'm not a fan of the stark white but I'm too hooked on minis to let that stop me from checking in all the time. If it gets to be too bright on the eyse I've always got a pair of shades to help.

havanaholly Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 In the bottom lefthand corner where the box reads "IP Board" Logan has given us two pretty new skins to play with. While I have almost as much trouble with the light letters on a dark background as I did with the original upgrade skin using the "Etched" skin,, the "GDH - Stone" skin is lovely.

grynche Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I'm back, again, I think. Bit fuzzy but getting back into the groove. I made Dinko Tilov's strange little bird in OT class and I must've done something right since they let me use a sharp pointy clay tool.

JaniceG Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 There are three reasons I haven't been around as much, well four - I haven't wanted to complain because you can't stop progress, but there doesn't seem to be a "new post" button to click, or am I missing it? You know the old button that brought up all the new posts from all of the subforums. Also there is no preview of threads anymore. I used to mouse over threads to read the first sentence or so, so I would know if it was a subject I was interested in or could be helpful in. And in the gallery, the "add comment" button requires a scroll down now because it is always at the bottom of previous comments instead of under the picture. These seem so minor, but they make a difference because those were the primary ways I navigated the site. The fourth reason is spring! We've been trying to get our yard under control and it is a massive job, not a lot of mini fun for me lately! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janet Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Hi, I haven't been around much - no good reason. Life just gets distracting sometimes and I have working on other non-mini things. Maybe when school is out in a few weeks I will get back into the mini swing. I still check in here and there to see how you all are doing Just not feeling very chatty I guess.

CheckMouse Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 I haven't been on lately because I'm still waiting for them to finish the upgrade. And I notice that every time I do pop in I am the only one online Used to see at least 3 or 4 other names online with me, sometimes a whole bunch. And I still can't upload pictures or even see my own gallery. Maybe all my pictures are lost. I have the pix, but hate to lose the comments. In the meantime I get my minifix on about 3 other forums on Facebook. More and more miniature venues are on there and are very active. I don't quite understand how this can take so long to work the bugs out. Oh, well -- see y'all later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo Med Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Been away on holiday - that's my reason for not posting. Now I have so much to catch up on - especially the spring fling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must confess that ever since the upgrade that provided those preview popups I used to wish there were some way to turn them off! They really, really bothered me, so I don't miss them. There have been an awful lot of new things to get used to with every Forum upgrade, and while this one involves massive changes, it's nothing like what the Forum underwent going from its original form to the last one. And I expect it to "grow" on me like the others did, since my reason to be here is to answer questions and exchange info and ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wytchy Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Have been busy workwise, but checking in quite regularly. This new forum took some getting used to, but think I got it under control now and starting to find it easy and more comfortable to work with once I took the trouble to invest some time... Also been working on the beacon hill and converting the tiffani into a seaside fisherman's house. rgds louise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grynche Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Freya, you made me look! The bird is too cute! Didja post pictures, by any chance? Sorry, Holly. No cameras allowed and since he was made of very soft squishy clay, there wasn't any way to get him home unschmooshed. He had some admirer's tho, despite his wings looking more like flippers.

havanaholly Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Haha, Mike! DH & I went up to Bainbridge to ride in their park along the Flint River; they have a paved bike trail about 2 miles+ that loops around, uphill & down, plus roads to the other side of the bridges and the animal park/ old locomotive, and afterwards we went for lunch & shopping out US 84/ Shotwell Street, which is one of MY major dollhouse inspiration streets!

Minis On The Edge Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 I'm here and have been quiet because of some health issues. I'm not ready to talk about them yet. Trying to get better answers first I guess.... I have been checking in and working on emails from those sending me a message and needing help but I've only been behind the scenes lately.

minikelli Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 I'm here, simple matters of new job -- possible new beau -- was kind of out of the mini-ing mood for a bit there. As it stands now though, I think I aught to have two more houses done with-in a weeks time, at least build wise. Hopefully will get pictures up soon! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
