WHY ALL THE NEW NICS????

colliegirls — Sun, 21 Jun 2015 12:33:19 GMT

..for old posters???? I used to feel as though I "knew" some of the posters but now I have no idea who most are or were.

They may have had trouble signing in on the first day and had to change. I had to, but the Q fixed it. Or maybe they wanted a new "start", too.

I don't know about others, but I wasn't able to post using my original nickname that I had since 2004, so I had to change my name by adding a 1 after it.

I emailed QVC Support about it especially because there appears to be another person with the same nickname, but never heard from them.

They allowed me to sign in with my old nick and e mail one day and the next day would not let me sign in. Then when I tried to re set up with a new e mail they said my nick was already in use.

Everyone needs to put aka ----- in their sigs for awhile. A lot of us just confirmed our email and our regular names popped up. Apparantly not so for many.

Great idea for those who changed their nic!! Or perhaps they can change it back when the boards settle!

Half the board and then some seem to be missing? I did see a few nics that I remember from the past but the majority of posters don't seem to be posting.

I shortened my nickname because my normal one was too long and was taking more than one line.

Maybe this is a good way to ge reacquainted with those that have changed their nic, and get off on a good foot with them. Am sure there are many reasons for folks changing their nics.....and good luck to them.

We all have enough going on in our lives today that we don't need negativity. There is enoough of that in our daily lives.....

Let's just enjoy what we have here......at least I am trying.

I've seen a lot of new names. I thought it would make the boards more interesting. But with the mods poofing everything, it might get dull.

ShowMe — Sun, 21 Jun 2015 17:12:59 GMT

colliegirl......I was not referring to any one imparticular when I used the negativity word. What I meant was when we had the other board, there was a lot of negativity that went on there.

Sorry if you felt I was referring to you or anyone on here now. I am finding the posters on our new board to be very darn nice.......In a way, I am liking the change......

I know for me, when the Q announced a whole redo of the BB, I thought it was a good opportunity to change my nic, which had become a target for a whole group of nasty posters.

I used to be Ford1224, and am trying to advise most folks of that as I go along.

That's a good reason to give yourself a new nic...... Good luck with it. That is exactly what I said in my earlier post on here. It's an opportunity for a fresh start.

If that is a picture of you, my what an attractive woman you are. I mean that sincerely.

Thank you for the compliments, ShowMe.

I hope my decision works and my "fans" leave me alone now, since they must know that all negative posts will be immediately deleted.

[I don't know what that "spoiler" box means, but I can't seem to get rid of it!! I was trying to post an emotie.]

Yep. I couldn't keep mine because I got a new computer and had a sllight change in my email address. Apparently, this site is holding on to my old addy with my RCG nickname, so I had to change it. I tried to come up with something that was close to what I had.

Because you clicked on the yellow icon which is "insert spoiler tag". I did the same thing the other day - I thought it was a yellow smilie to click on for all the emoties.
