Two weeks ago, I was in a maze trying to find my way...I think I'm almost to half way margin. I know a little more than two weeks ago. We all have been learning from each other bits and pieces.
Personally, I like it once I gather all the pieces. We have been complaining about message board - we got a WALL to post messages to members. Its similar to FACEBOOK.
Yes there are a lot of features that's new but we learning to adopt.

My opinion?? Its Crap!!! They changed it over the last 2 weeks, I arrived back from holiday to find all the message boards gone. AP have done this to prevent people leaving others vile messages but if sociopaths want to have what they call, Fun, then I don't see how this will prevent it. What they have done is stop us from having fun! Still, we are all forming our own Boards! Where there's a will!!!! Another weird thing, is that questions don't seem to expire..
thank you so much for the information.I am sorry about the boards too because that was one way to send information to members of what you have concerns.
I do like the ideia that questions do not expire.
I posted my answer before I discovered the WALL,too. Now I'm finally starting to believe that this New AP will indeed work out and become a great site. Amen to that, Karen!!
Like Heather said, the changes were sudden and we weren't given any warning--one day we were just faced with this new format, which confused and angered a lot of us regular users. The old Askpedia had it's flaws, but this New Version is just outrageous. They have some of us in Nursery School and others in Grad School. We don't know when our Questions expire, but we get to choose Best Answer whenever we want! Does this make sense? Also, the New Questions category has Q's from two years ago. What's the point in answering those when all the users are long gone? All this to prevent foul messages from a group of nutcases? The fun is few and far between, like Heather mentioned, but we're trying to create our own methods of fun and communication. Now that the message boards are gone, a new member is assigned the task of posting "This is My Message Board", and we all go there to make our comments and chat. Sorry you had to return to this kind of mix-up, Bittencourt. We're trying our best to grope our way blindly through this new system. Lots to learn, my friend!
Anytime, Bittencourt. We were all lost at first with the many changes. It's getting a lot better now that AP has given us the Wall option. Karen, I have to admit that being in elementary is kind of funny, and now with this Wall, I'm slowly warming up to this new AP of ours. It does sort of intrigue after a while, that's for sure! I'm just a slow learner, that's all. It's a new adventure every day.
I miss the message boards, alerts for question expiration and best answers, and the old navigation system. We're doing our best to keep this family together with humor and pretending questions are message boards - we shall overcome!
Thank you for answering and it is encouraging to know that the top people in askpedia still here.You are a good example of never give up .Yes we shall overcome.
We will just have to see about some things. I am willing to give it a chance and I hope you will also.
I like being able to pick a best answer at any time.
I don't like the navigation. With my slow dial-up, it is just about impossible.
I got the net back on today and everything was different.WOW.But they needed to make some changes and I believe there are more to come. It's not that bad,it's just trying to get used to the new way with your home page. It is still great for asking and answering Q's and that is what the site is all about.
