Glad the Forum is Up and Running again ...but

ciao_bella — Thu, 11 Nov 2021 12:49:18 GMT

Glad the forum is up and running again, me included as I intend to post here and on the Proboard, but I surely hope it's a 'wake up call' for those that think it can't/won't happen again. Just a friendly reminder, have your 'back up/plan B ready'.

There is NO excuse for this. QVC and the PTB is a huge huge business. If they don't wish to have the forums anymore, than so be it. Stop treating us like dogs. The forums were here for years n years, enjoyed by many over these years, and then to just suddenly have them go down for lengthy periods of time is just plain unacceptable imo. Throw us a bone, take it away, throw us another bone, take it away. What is the objective here?

Yes, we all know computers and systems go down from time to time, but for weeks in a period of a month? I'm not buying it (no pun intended). jmo

When and if that happens posters will just migrate to a new forum. It's not that big of a deal.

I wish they would have told us what was actually going on. All they needed to do was post something, and we would have been [more] patient.

@Luvsmyfam

Do not know what the problem was. I did call CS on the day I was locked out. I was unable to "Chat" (which nobody ever comes to anyway....!)

I was simply told to wait 24-72 hours. But even the phone call was ... tedious, trying to get through.

Like you guys, I am also back.

One CS rep told me the fault was my iPad. I said no, I was able to get into other retail sites and order with my same password I always used.

Her answer: “QVC is not like other retailers.”

Seriously, this is the truth. I did not make this up.

Yea! I missed this place. Missed you all.

I wonder how long this will last.

I sent emails and was on chat twice........last time, yesterday. Finally able to log on. I told them that we had enough of the excuses that they had an "issue". For days at a time??? Not acceptable and if it was their way of shutting down the forums, we are not that stupid. I hope they finally realize that we are more savvy than that.

I'll post on both boards. Why not? Especially now since we all know what's likely to happen soon. I'm glad for the other board.

I finally caved and signed up at the other forum yesterday....after only 10 minutes there my McAfee shut it down, said dangerous risky site so I bailed out on that.

Today my old fave QVC forums are back, so I'm staying here.

That's odd. I have McAfee and I never got that warning.

@author I like these forums, too. Much easier to navigate.

Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus, 🎅. It must be a Veteran's Day miracle. 🇺🇸

I can get back on. 😊

I am glad the boards are back as well.

I do not intend to go to the Proboards.

However, let me just say...QVC is all about RETAIL....not making us gals happy by having a place to chat.

Macy's, Target, Walmart, etc etc don't have chat boards and Chico's doesn't even have reviews!

None of us know what goes on behind the scenes. There could have been contracts that expired when they were originally going to shut it down....we don't know the details.

I'm not mad about it...just happy to have it back! I'll save my angst for something really important like the price of gas and groceries!!!!

I will just take it one day at a time. Of course I hope the forums stay open for good but if not I have plenty of good memories of kind and intelligent posters.

Que sera sera.

The forums may be back, but no miracle involved. I finally received a reponse from the IT TEAM that they had an "agency" outside of Q who runs the forums. When they first decided to delete forums on Nov. 2nd, they canceled that contract. I was told this long time the forums were not available, was an attempt to get that contract back.

Believe any of that? I have swamp land for sale!!!!
