Oh, for cryin' in the beer...

sfnative — Wed, 26 Aug 2015 16:38:47 GMT

I had to change my address because we're moving tomorrow, so now I'm a "New Member." This place is soooooo screwy!!!!! How AM I ever going to find my avatar again and all that other stuff??? Geesh!

End of rant.

Hi Everybody!

Edited to add: Member since 2004; customer since 1989.

That's just plain silly! Good luck on your move @sfnative! Maybe it will be easier that this "move" has been.

Did you change your email address too? Otherwise, why would it matter?

Hi @sfnative,

I wonder if we might be able to assist you? Can you e-mail us at QVCSocialTeam@QVC.com so that we can look into this for you and forward this to the Community Team if necessary?

Your avatar changed gender, too.

Looks like QVC actually HAS run out of gray ladies!

Don't feel too badly sfnative. I've been registered since 2010 with several thousand posts.

I called Corporate. They called it a "glitch".

At this point, I couldn't care less. They've lost me.

Best of luck on your move tomorrow! :-)

@Peaches McPhee

Yes, it's a long story. Every time I want to purchase something, I have to go throuhg a song and dance with customer service, because my San Diego email continues and continues and continues, even after CS assured me that it had been changed. This means that my purchases have been way down, which has saved me a bundle, I must say, but I would like to order a few Halloween items and am still stumped.

Bottom line for me is that I just don't get why this has turned into rocket science. In my field, "The patient has died."

I really do not understand at all why having the number of past posts or your start date on here is such a big darn deal to some of you. WHO CARES? What difference does it make?

What matters to others does not have to be important to you. We all have different opinions on topics. No need to let this bother you.

@151949

As mentioned initially, it's actually losing the avatar that I created, which is better than being a milk toast grey on grey innocuous female/male. Right now I'm QVC's version of a male.

I really don't care about # of posts and have never wanted or needed to reference a record of my posts (wouldn't even know how to do that). But for those of us who have been around for over ten years, there is more to one's identity than a nic.

Edited to state "Well shut my mouth!" Someone re-established my avatar. How about them apples?!

Webmaster/Moderator Staff: Many thanks for re-establishing my personal forum information and avatar, after it was necessary for me to change my email address and house address, which challenged the QVC system.

Thanks, again. ~Rebecca

Hi sfnative,

Sorry to hear this. I went through the same thing when they switched to this "upgrade(?)". Coudn't get "hckynut(john)", so had to start anew with "hckynutjohn".

Glad to see you either way.

Best to you and yours,

You made it a big deal when you lost one of your accounts.

I care, so it matters to me. You have matters of importance to you also.

But, you could have gotten it back per the Mod who asked you to email him or her, Mr. John.

OP--I wish you luck with your move. Just think of it as the last time QVC will tick you off at your old place.

Hi Everyone,

Well, shut my mouth!

I up and moved and was away from my laptop for a number of days, so now I'm back to being a grey male new member once again.

***

At least in our new place we don't hear the police, fire trucks and ambulances heading east into bad country 24/7, coupled with metro diesel buses less than 1/2 block away.

Though many can't stand squirrels, I'm glad to have them in our new backyard, since we no longer have kitties, which I miss very much.
