Not sure what you are referring to here .... what other forums? Do you mean other companies under the Qurate corporate umbrella ... HSN and ShopHQ? Or other retailers?

Need more information.

@Melbalee. Are you referring to the other forum that came to be when QVC announced this forum would be taken down, last year?

If so, it is very similar, not sure if you wanted to know about what is and is not allowed to be posted or about the different forum topics...but it is pretty much the same.

@Melbalee

Even QVC isn't a "regular ladies forum". There are men who post here regularly.

Do you currently post on any other message boards? You don't have to specify which ones, just trying to understand your question.

I know that one...but any others that are around. Are we not allowed to post about other ones? I did not know of this rule. Just wanted to post and ask questions on different ones.
Thank you so much for answering.

@Melbalee I'm afraid I still don't know what "regular ladies forums" are.

There are thousands upon thousands of forums & blogs of all interests. Are you referring to shopping forums, open to all?

Melbalee — Sat, 16 Jul 2022 21:00:15 GMT

Well I don't care if men are on it...just a forum..

That you can speak a little more clearly..thank you so much for answering.

@Melbalee I would suggest you do an internet seach for forums and see what turns up.

@Melbalee

I am guessing message board posting is still new to you, and you are slowly finding your way around. Is that accurate?

Just as general information, take the time to google "message board etiquette" and you'll find the background very informative. You will also get a sense of how people communicate with each other.

Some MBs are carefully monitored and restricted ... and some have much looser regulations and guidelines.

This board has been around for a long time, and some posters know each other really well. What might appear to be a rather serious argument between two posters may not be that, at all. It just might be a "spirited conversation" with people that have "known" each other for ages.

HTH .... (hope this helps)

@Melbalee You also might want to read the Board Standards under Welcome - Get Started in the column on the left side of this page.

I can only speak for myself. While there are a few other "nic" on these forums, that to me use a male gender in them, they would have to answer that. I am a male, and in my very 1st post here, I put that in my nic, over 20+ years ago.

@Melbalee I'm wondering if you are referring to different "topics" listed down the left hand side. If so, I think Community Chat is a little more...let's say....rambunctious.... than some of the others. While the others can get that way, many are quite civil...such as the Home topic and I'm sure some others people could vouch for.

Re: Are the other forums

Melbalee — Sat, 16 Jul 2022 22:11:06 GMT

Yes ..thanks again. I a m a widow and scared of some things going on...but I can't talk about it here as per the rules I just read.

You posters are very nice here!

@Melbalee OP I understand your question but can't answer b/c I only read/post on this one.

@Melbalee

I understand your question also. Feel free to begin joining in a conversation at your comfort level. (I watched for a long time before entering!) You'll have a feel for the personalities first and the gist of the topic.

Usually it's a nice group of people just spending a little free time while winding down during the day or evening. Many of us are widows, as well. I don't share daily stuff, but will jump in periodically. I'm a private person, so it's usually non-personal information, but I do share! Often asking questions which show my ignorace about new products, which I did last week.
