View All Forum Topics

On It — Wed, 17 Jan 2024 20:06:27 GMT

This is how I read the forums. The most recent is shown first and they descend in the order posted. It is a mix of all topics. I have not been posting on the boards all that long compared to others. Until more recently than I hate to admit, it did not occur to me to select a category from the menu to read posts. I knew to select one to create a post.

I am so bad at technology. What may be obvious to others is a mystery to me. I certainly did not realize until today that not everyone sees every post because they have specific categories they use. I am on an IPad. I cannot use the forums on my phone and have never tried my computer.

Last summer I did an all day progressive post under Sports showing a big soccer tournament and the wild horses having to wait for the field. Some of the regulars who enjoy the horses did not respond. Now I think I know why. By the time I get good at this, it will be too late.

@On It I read the forum like you do. I figure that way you can browse all the topics under one roof so to speak.

@On It

I'm with you, I'm not very 'puter literate at all either.

I also just made the realization and found it interesting that some people just stick to certain forums.

Like I said in the other thread, I like to view all the forums because there are so few postings in the first place and I don't want to miss anything! haha

I do both.

I start out in All Forums, then choose a specific category to see what's new.

@On It. That's the way I have always read posts. If you just read just one forum, you miss a lot of good information.

I "view all topics" and read the latest posts too.

@On It I read them just like you do and I've been here for years.

I view all forums. There are interesting things throughout the forums, some I wouldn't have seen otherwise.

What is the difference between Community Chat, Among Friends, and Q Talk? They are basically the same. Perhaps they should be combined. Beauty, Fashion, Handbags, and Shoes could be combined. Kitchen and Recipes could be.

@MamaWick They are not the same. Community Chat is topics of general interest, world events and things that can't be classified elsewhere. Among Friends often involves personal situations and touchy-feely topics, conversations between friends. Q Talk concerns topics having to do with problems and situations going on at QVC, gossip and news.

The mods have said there will be no changes to the forum topics.

Until recently, I was strictly on the Beauty forum but it's been really slow and my 3 yr beauty spending spree/bonanza has come to a halt. I had to branch out. Now I'm the Pet Lovers, Community Chat and Electronics. But, it appears the Pet Lovers is mostly cats and Electronics is mostly Apple. I'm dogs with Androids lol

@monicakm

Hahaha, that's hilarious....count me in that camp too...dogs with androids! heehee

Well, then join us in all the forums, that way you won't miss a thing!

@On It

I also view all forum topics but sort from first to last so I can understand the topic being discussed from the beginning. I have learned a lot from various topics that I would have missed if I had limited myself.

@Kachina624. While Q Talk indeed seems to be about topics dealing with Q, I don't agree that Among Friends is about personal and touchy-feely, etc topics only since the Princess of Wales surgery is being discussed, a question about Medicare deductible is being discussed, "among" other topics (see what I did there 😂?). Even though the mods say nothing will change, there are many topics that could be combined. JMHO.

I always go to "All Forum Topics". I refresh the page since I like to read the latest posts unless there is a thread that I am following.

I rarely look at a category unless I'm interested in a specific thread. I'm always surprised at those who gravitate to only certain categories.

However, I'm on my MacBook Air most of the time and it's a regular laptop. I've noticed that it's set up differently on my tablet.

@MamaWick .. Everything you said is true, folks post topics on various forums. That's why I use "view all forums". You see the latest on all topics.

I View All Forums and skip over posts when seeing thier category that tend to have a lot of memes like Pet Lovers ( i love animals but im not intrrested in pet memes).

I will jump into the Recipe and Kitchen listings to see if ive missed anything.

Im gone at work 9 hours+ a day so I cant always hit all the View All pages daily.
