HELP....HTML...LOAD...DISCARD...four post attempts....

jlkz — Sun, 06 Sep 2015 21:01:19 GMT

I tried posting a response 4 times throughout today (Sunday) and it never worked. Got a LOAD or DISCARD option but nothing happened with either choice. Then to add insult to injury, it removed HTML embedded in the post ---- honestly I did not embed anything so I proofed and edited and finally posted.

Once I chose the bullet points: could that have been the problem? If so, why is it in the choice banner?

the last post to which I got the HTML notice just had sentences.

Any insight would be appreciated. Could it all be related to whatever system issues have been going on this weekend?

On Monday, I'm going to call Customer Service and get the phone number for the office of the QVC president. Then, I will call them and report that the QVC Board needs serious help. Maybe they will contact the moderators. . .

I get those messages all the time when all I did was change to Arial font. I just use the default font now because I got tired of it.

Whatever you do, do not go out and buy another computer. This site has been sooooo slow, and even unable to check the program guide. So, I've given up. Hate/dislike signing in every single time, too. Just 'walk away' and forget about this site until tomorrow when you are 'fresh' and have more ammuntion to 'fight' with the site, lol.

The VIP's will probably be 'out' on Monday, because of the holiday weekend. Try Tuesday when the regular techies are back, too. I doubt that anything will be 'looked at'/repaired on Monday. But, there's always hope........

p.s.: I wouldn't order anything online today, possibly tomorrow. This site isn't very dependable right now. Call in all orders. Who knows where the online orders will end up. Doesn't cost a dime to warn folks ahead of time. Saves everyone concerned (including QVC) a lot of time and energy in the long run.

Many people only order online because they go through rebate sites. A 5% cash rebate is being offered for QVC by at least 2 sites I use.

This is only my second try posting here today. My first went through and then I edited it, without problem.

Wow that is really sad advice that someone should not order in fear of screw ups ....how can QVC stay in business if their web site is so flaky? It has been terrible for years. Never had I had so many problems shopping on a web site but on QVC.

@jlkz and @wildcat fan, If this is the message you're referring to it's not a part of the current website debacle:

"Your post has been changed because invalid HTML was found in the message body. The invalid HTML has been removed. Please review the message and submit the message when you are satisfied."

This message only means the post was checked for improper embedded code.

When you see it, basically just ignore it.

Go ahead and click/tap "POST" and you'll see that your reply will be posted with no problem and very likely you won't see any changes either.

'Still', I would call in all orders. Just to make sure. That way, you're talking to an actual person, make note of their name, time ordered, etc., and make sure your order is in their data base. I'm confident that their computers at the call centers are just fine, and operating quickly, etc. But, that's just me; what I would do.
