Nice to see things from Cubits transferred over.
I will definitely have to spend a bit of time learning this new site.

I think at this point the only brand new ATP forum is Garden Art. So if you have photos, please come start a new thread and help us get things pretty!

Oh, my gosh. I never realized how isolating the Cubits structure can be until I came over to this site and found myself posting in forums that I never frequent in Cubits. I think I spend 99% of my time in my own cubits and just a couple of others, never wandering around to see what's happening everywhere else. This is going to be much more convivial.

I agree

Cubits wasn't designed to be interactive. It was actually designed to keep people in one cubit!
Very frustrating for users when that's not what they want to do.

So, this will be much better for the gardening users!! (and free up Cubits to hopefully blossom into what it was meant to be as well!)

Thanks for explaining that, Trish. I think there was some misunderstanding about it, leaving people thinking it was hard to navigate Cubits.

I didn't find it hard to navigate at all as long as I knew to look for a specific thing.
But like Zuzu, I didn't get around much either.

I agree with zuzu and Sharon....I tended to stay in my own cubits, especially the busier ones. But here I will have so much fun browsing the various forums.

I found cubits very easy to navigate after the first week of trials and errors.... so am VERY happy I'm still over there. Both places are great.

Now that I'm here and have read all of the announcements, I think I've been waiting for this site for years!

I'm really looking forward to this.
