Reason they did this

Tyak — Tue, 16 Jun 2015 00:28:01 GMT

They want an excuse to shut down their forums. This new set up is so bad, everyone's gonna leave and there's their excuse. Now, right here is an imaginary smiley face...I say imaginary because I don't have a clue what they did with them...again I say, this is a gigantic mess.

I agree! Too hard to use so a lot will leave.

Very well could be. Emotie's can be found when you click on reply...near the middle you will see a smiley face. Click on it and more will drop down.

I think it will get easier, many are already making adjustments. It is a learning experience but I am not going anywhere. I'm no quitter .

I doubt they'll ever tell us the real reason, but I strongly suspect it's more of their move into the social media design we see on the popular websites. I really doubt QVC has nafarious reasons. If they wanted people to leave, they wouldn't finance the forums at all -- they'd simply close them and continue to encourage people to use Facebook, Instagram, etc.

Hello, Tyak.

I don't think QVC is doing this to try and shut the forums down. It'll just take a little time to get used to things. I hope QVC doesn't shut these forums down. I really like talking about Nick Chavez and his products, and this forum is the only place that I know of where I can.

Note: When you go to post a reply, there's a greyed out picture of a smiley face. If you hover over it, a drop-down box will say "Insert emoticon." Then click on it and it will show all the smileys to choose from.

it's really not that bad after you edit your preferences. once they move the gamers into their own forum we should be almost back to normal.

i edited my preferences to 50 topics/posts per page, added quick reply and changed the forum layout to general and topic list style to list.

all these settings are under your preferences. the most important ones to me under display settings.

hope this helps someone, if anyone read this far. muhahaha

They do not need an excuse. If they really wanted to, they'd just pull the plug.

they wouldn't have gone through all this trouble if they were going to close the forums. the turnaround time was very short.

Can you please tell me how to post a new message? It said to click new message in the upper left hand corner. I don't se

Re: Reason they did this

evelomaddict — Tue, 16 Jun 2015 01:15:44 GMT

the new message button is on each forums main page. if you wanted to start a topic on this forum you'd go to http://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/bd-p/35# or click on one of the forums over to the left. you should see a entire list of all of the different forums.

I totally agree !

I seriously doubt they would have put money and time into these "improvements" if they planned to shut the forums down. That would be a really stupid business decision,

Re: Reason they did this

croemer — Tue, 16 Jun 2015 22:51:37 GMT

elruth...it is there in red to the left of the page. Looks like this:

NEW MESSAGE highlighted in red. Maybe you need to use Chrome or Firefox...or shut your computer down and refresh your screen?

I agree it has something to do with moving to "social media" - I noticed a couple weeks ago Q is shutting down their Jupiter,FL

customer service facility - about 800 jobs being lost. So sad, technology continuing to replace people.

If they spent money on this "improvement", I vote to get their money back.
