Changes from the original Scrapbook.com Forums

In September 2019, we replaced our long-standing forum software with a new platform that will allow us to support the changing security and usability requirements of the internet.

We are grateful to everyone who continues to participate in the Scrapbook.com forums. We understand that this is a place where friendships are built, and a community is established, and papercrafters feel welcome. We are happy to continue to communicate supporting you now and in the future.

Common Questions from Users

Why have the forums been replaced?

The company that created and maintained the forum software no longer exists and the software is no longer compatible with the Scrapbook.com website. Rather than remove the forums entirely, we decided to replace them with a new platform.

What has happened to the existing threads/topics?

Most topics have moved into the new system. Some existing threads and topics are not compatible with the new discussion platform and have not been transferred.

Will this switch affect or alter any other areas of the Scrapbook.com site?

This will only affect the existing forum pages. All of your gallery images, favorites inside the gallery, and other areas of the website will be retained and will not be impacted.

Private Messages are now called Direct Messages, and can only be sent between two individuals.
You can now mark individual posts as "favorites" by clicking a heart icon next to a post.
