What is scary is that it would seem to include uploads. So newsletters... flyers... graphics all become property of PC.

Thanks for pointing this out! That is scary. How many times have we posted our own made-up recipes here? So, I guess PC could use that recipe as their own, if they wanted to??

I still like CS better!
 
I agree that it is difficult to navigate and I also don't care for the layout of it. I will still be on CS.

One interesting issue with this...

How many of us have REPOSTED a document created by someone else, sharing the wealth so to speak...

So if even if you are not participating in the PC forum, if someone shares a document YOU created, PC now "owns" it...

Things that make you go "hmmmmmm....."
 
I got on yesterday for a few minutes and got frustrated trying to navigate through. I blame my own impatience. I'm sure I'll be a part of the community, but I cannot imagine it taking the place of CS in my heart. <3As for things becoming property of PC, I didn't immediately see a way to upload files. But, like I said, I wasn't there long.
