Let's face it. I guess CC is gone for good. What do you think?

It is still there and I posted quite a bit yesterday. You just have to wait awhile after you click on the cc forum on the menu side. Then you are pretty much stuck in the one thread you start posting on, or you begin again with the wait time. But is a big pain in the backside to say the least.

It's there with new posts and threads.

You have to really want to get in to get in.

Who or what is cc?

Sometimes I can get in after a very long wait. But sometimes it just never opens. It's just gotten too much of a pain to even bother with trying anymore, and there isn't enough going on in there now to go through the wait when I can get in.

I can get to posts there that I have a notification from. But now trying to reply has wait time until it posts.

I still haven't been able to get in the CC. I really don't need it with all the other places to read.

@Patriot3 Since you ask, I really don't understand why posters are missing it enough to continually comment. Another category could be used right? Why not just post in Q Talk or Among Friends? No big deal for me. I read comments from all Forum topics that interest me. I don't really pay attention to the category they are under.

That is one thing I haven't missed because I just go to recent posts or recent topics, not a particular forum.That way you get to see interesting posts from everything, and many different people about all kinds of different subjects and views.

Though in a way I can see the appeal of the years long posts where people post to a group of the same people every day because then you don't run into posts or posters that you don't enjoy. Instead they are glad to "see" and post with each other.

I was thinking the Community Chat was 'chat' format, not a topic format like this one. Otherwise I'm with the oh well crowd, I open the forum and then click on View all Forum Topics.....everything with something new comes up no matter what the actual forum is. The only individual forum I usually open (and I open it first) is Pet Lovers.

Looks like it, though I don't know how cutting out just one category/page cuts down on that much "maintenance."

That said...never did understand the difference between "Among Friends" and "Community Chat"...maybe they thought both weren't needed.

Let's face it, we're lucky they've kept the boards at all...for all the policing that needs to be done and the QVC criticism, I sometimes wonder why they do. But I follow certain threads and I do get good buying info, whether on Q or for elsewhere. Maybe they think for all the good and bad, it keeps their customer base "engaged" and it seems most businesses look for ways to do that these days.

@Patriot3 After reading your post today I tried to click on CC and nothing. I agree either it's gone or another software issue on their part.

Comm Chat is still there but getting it to load on my screen takes forever. Forget it.

They add InsideQ for Mally and take away the biggest and most popular

Community Chat. I won't even look at InsideQ and won't watch a cackling

show.

It is not gone you just have to wait several minutes before it comes in then you can only click on one thread and comment, then start all over with the wait time if you leave that thread. Incredibly boring but I have been posting over there this week.

It's gotten even worse for me. Not only can I not get into the forum as a whole at all, now when I try to reply to a post I accessed from my notifications, it takes several minutes for the reply to post.

@geezerette Definitely another issue resulting from older software and outdated equipment.

You'd think w/ HSN added on, there'd be an effort to make shopping easier, but even getting to that part of the site is difficult.

It is basically gone. It wouldn't be so bad if responding to a thread didn't kick you out.

@beckyb1012 , I agree that it has been possible to get back to Community Chat, with patience! But a hassle.

The worst thing about CC being less readily accessible, is that some of the few combative posters who previously seemed to have been very attracted to Community Chat, now have expanded their reach to other topic categories that always tended to have considerate posters, for the most part.
