Signing In

What's with all this signing in every time one goes from one place to another. I guess the Q is not storing any sign in information any more. Certainly is a PITA.

I don't have to re-sign in when I go from here to other sites or other Q boards.

Does it happen when you go straight from here or do you close down your browser and come back to QVC after that?

Oh yes. If I'm shopping I have to sign in again. It's like a separate sign in for shopping and the boards.

I have to sign in completely when I'm checking my Order status and when I go from the Bulletin Board to the Q Website. Not between threads on the BB site.

Naturally, if I close the browser I'd have to sign in again.

Before, though, I would only have to either hit submit or add my password. It seems some information was "stored".

Oh yes. I have to do that too. Example if I am here now and want to check order status I have to sign in again.

Same here...and if I take a look at my wish list I can not use the back arrow and get back on the forums. I have to close the tab and open the tab...so I can get to the forums.

This is a matter of security and also the fact that we're not signing into the same "place" when we go to the shopping area as opposed to the forums. Think of them as two separate websites, with the shopping QVC site being the one that holds our personal info (including our payment info) and being the one that needs to be better protected. My way of thinking: I'd much rather log in multiple times than fall prey to identity theft or bogus credit/debit card charges, which would take up much more time and cause significant problems.

(Regarding the back-arrow: It's a bit complicated, but website security is supposed to disallow use of the back-arrow to move in or out of a secure log-in.)

I know it can be frustrating.

Not sure what you mean but I go here and go there and I haven't had to do any more signing in here.

Maybe it is your browser. Just a guess, but sometimes Internet Explorer and other browsers act differently on certain websites. I almost always use Firefox myself.
