I think the inventors of this new god-awful system

faeriemoon — Mon, 15 Jun 2015 18:00:24 GMT

are sitting around a big screen computer with a honking mama box of popcorn laughing their backsides off as they watch us try to figure this thing out.

JMO, of course.

PS, and by the way, these smiley faces stink.

Well this is hideous. This doesn't even look professionally done. The highlight boxes don't appear around the words and there are big blocks of nothing on the first page (on my computer anyway). Is this the way they end the forums? If they only knew how much I have spent here and otherwise as a direct result of these forums and the people on them. And I am sure that is true for so many besides me. Change for change's sake is stupid and this was stupid.

I totally agree that they are making extra batches of pop corn and enjoying what ever refreshments they are allowed. Me on the other hand thinks we should all get out what ever is our favorite drink that will dull the head ache that this new thing is causing us. I don'r find one thing that I like about it. Nothing but a mass mess of confusion. this might be fine for someone who really knows their way around a computer but for me I go to the ShowMe post and whats there but old, old , old pages of posts were are the currant ones??

I know, right? And who the heck needs a spoiler tag? They bought a discussion board off the shelf and it's not really working well for QVC customers.

Cater, it's me, nomless, from the exercise thread. I noticed your post here and am just dropping in to say I'm glad to see that you found your way into the new forum. I can't find Bopper's exercise thread so I started a new one, and I hope the posters will see it there

Back to the topic: I agree that this new system is quite a mess. I'm hoping that it's not all in place yet and that we'll see improvements in the next few days.

This takes care of me wasting time at work.

I have a question for you ladies, please. When I click on my avatar it shows some of my information, which includes my email address! Is it visible to you, or am I the only one who can see it? If it is visible to you I really, really need to know how to edit it out PRONTO. TIA

What a mess! Do they even want us to participate here?

One has to wonder if they are sitting around wringing their hands and saying "Back to the drawing board" or whether they are sitting around rubbing their hands together with glee saying "Mission accomplished".

P.S. This is the FIFTH time I've had to sign in today in order to post a reply.

I DO NOT see your email when I click your profile info.

I'm not seeing your e-mail addy.

Re: I think the inventors of this new god-awful system

SunValley — Mon, 15 Jun 2015 18:37:37 GMT

Your email does not display to anyone else. When you check your own profile it shows, but not not to other posters.

Most people dislike change. It will take a while to get used to this new format. I, myself, am not particularly fond of it right now.

Thank you Cranberries, LipstickDiva, and SunValley. That is good to know! Now, if I can just figure out how to find my current activity I'll be much happier. The only activity I find is from ages ago.

I just realized the general reply button is way up top! I've been replying using the reply button at the bottom right hand side of the last post. I now know that is a reply to the last poster and not to the whole thread. Really now...why on earth would anyone think it makes sense to place the reply button way up top when you're reading way down at the bottom of the page?

Whoever created this mess never posted here and never understood what happens here, I may just boycott QVC because of their customer unfriendly attitude. I don't want to deal with the hassles they've created. How could all this effort result in something worse?

That would be the same eejit who thinks three grey dots is a great way to indicate where the edit feature is.

no, it doesn't show you email to the public, that is only when you look at it. I thought the same thing so I signed out, checked my profile as a guest, didn't see it, then signed back in and saw my email.

Re: I think the inventors of this new god-awful system

60sgirl — Mon, 15 Jun 2015 19:40:05 GMT

I thought I replied to another poster but it didn't show her post, only mine, so it makes no sense.
