Yes and the NEW community standards look like if we do start a thread that is the slightest bit controversial, we will be banished.

It's just one big jumbled mess.

I may not have always agreed with everyone and often thought some posters were way out of line and not very nice but the ability to post and respond was there but now this seems destined to become a ghost board!!!

Now *everyone* is posting in the teeny tiny font that used to be just for iPad users. All the QVC stuff is in normal sized font, but the actual posts are tiny. Why is the default set to such a small size? I know we can make it bigger ourselves, but why is the default so ridiculously small?

ETA: I take it back, we can't all edit the font size ourselves. I just tried two different font sizes (2 and 5) and neither of them looked any different. I'm currently using Firefox; I'll try Safari and see if that actually works.

I wish they would bring it back. Some people just like to talk about current events. It's just like conversation with friends.

There is no Q Board without Viewpoints. Now I have to figure out if I want to join that other Board or not.

Obviously the Q is no longer interested in having a "Community Chat," if you look at the forums that are available. Only four do not relate to Q products.

It seems that frowning on "Current Events" rules out politics, which was always problematic, but I wonder what topics are safe? Can we talk about fracking, recycling, animal testing by cosmetic companies, the paleontological accuracy of Jurassic World?

I don't see the old Viewpoints reforming and taking hold here.

Seems that way. I do like many of the new features they came up with. Granted it takes a little independent reading to get to know them, which I don't mind. I'm used to this at this point in my life. I'm not sure they realize that most people NEVER read their car's owner's manual, so it would be unlikely that they'd read this forum's "users manual". What I find astounding, is the inclusion of the gamer's threads on the community chat. You would think that community chat would be a new name only for what was viewpoints. Gamers should have its own forum. Wading through reams of threads filled with one word answers is not my cup of tea, when looking for an actual chat. As a matter of fact, those kinds of threads barely qualify as '''chat" by any definition. I don't like this flooding of a discussion category with games. It is coming across as spam in my mind. Not a criticism of gaming threads or their participants at all. Just a gripe about what QVC has done to the "Community", not with it.
