I really love this site and think it is a great resource......BUT HOLY ***** IS IT AN HUGE PAIN IN THE ***** TO GET AROUND AND TRY TO DO ANYTHING ON!!! I'm sure for the members that have been on it for years and have learned as the site grew have no problem, But for someone that is just getting on to it, it is very discouraging and frustrating! Picture uploading is absolutely baffling!! I registered on this site years ago and left for the same reason and it seems to be even worse now. WAY WAY WAY too much ***** on here, and now its like there are 2 websites merged into one? I really want to be here and am making an honest effort to learn this site but I'm about ready to put my fist through the monitor! HA HA. AT 15 thousand members I would be all for each of us donating a dollar to get this monster streamlined to where it should be

Welcome back! Glad to say that, I haven't experienced the frustrations that you are. I find it to be a "user friendly" site to move around in and get use to.

MOST Problems new members have is trying to use their hand held devices ie; Smart Phones/iPads/etc.
Learn your Devices 1st instead of blaming the site. Use the TEST AREA & Learn to post pictures [Several here will Help Install Training Wheels or Apply Band-Aids].

I found it to be a pain in the ***** to load pictures from my computer. However it's a piece of cake from the phone.

Most Manitobans are friendly or so the license plate says, eh Todd? A few ex-Peggers on this site as well as fellow 'Tobans.
Site is easy to use. The pics were a little difficult but with help even I got to post pictures without resorting to the granddaughter's help.
