I don¡¯t think Ravelry is going anywhere. I¡¯d be surprised if more than 1% of the users were even aware of what¡¯s happening.?
No doubt they bungled they redesign, and people had serious issues, and the ableism on display made it far far worse. On the other hand, when Facebook it Twitter does a redesign, do the users get their complaints heard? Has there ever been a rollback to a previous design? My beloved Scrabble app was sold to a new developer who has completely ruined it and which runs blaringly loud migraine-inducing ads between each turn - but they have paid no attention to the widespread complaints from the long-time users. IMHO (or IMHOP to quote the late JunieAnn), there¡¯s a lot of pearl clutching going on. (And if you hadn¡¯t heard, sadly she did pass away).?

Are you all telling me that thins are so bad we need to do a bulk download ASAP? Is that not just going to hasten a possibly avoidable end?

I¡¯m no help as I haven¡¯t tried it but there is another archived thread in FTLOR about it with lots of posts from people who have done it.?

I just watched the download video (I can't believe I'm engaged in bulk downloads so soon after the Bluprint debacle, but here we are.
I've checked and I do have the latest version of Chrome and have installed the DownThemAll Extension which is the one used in the YouTube video here:?
but it certainly doesn't function in quite the same way, so (of course!) I'm having a bit of trouble getting those pdf's to download.
It just has to be a setting (I've selected documents which includes pdf's) that I haven't selected.
I'm going to give it another try tomorrow morning when I'm a bit fresher!
Thanks for the explanations and the skinny on the Rav Mess.
I need to learn how to use that extension anyway!
Mary.
