I couldn't agree with you more!!!!!!!!!

I also totally agree.

The start date not being posted for each thread is one of my pet peeves with these new forums.

I agree. I hope at some point they decided to bring it back.

If you go into
Edit My Preferences to the left <-
Under Display
UNCHECK the box that says Use relative Dates

Then SAVE

This will now show the dates and times of each post, including the original post 😉

Hello @MJDinVegas, @sam96, @luvsbulldogs, @BlueTopazGem, @pupwhipped - We are working on this feature but in the meantime, you can change your setting to see dates. pupwhipped was correct (thanks for helping pupwhipper!) and I wanted to make sure everyone saw her reply. Here are the steps:

Go to My Settings then click on Preferences. Click on Display and scroll down toUse Relative Dates and UNcheck that box. You should then be able to see all post dates.

Hope this helps!

So I did it......and it works. But why in heaven's name would you have made something so obvious and basic so much more complicated? Just one of many poor, thoughtless design elements that make this board a headache for those trying to use it.

Ooops, I think I got credit here that wasn't due me. I believe it was sam96 who posted this information. Anyway, I thank you both for the tip!

I know all about the "My Settings/Preferences/Display/Dates". But, many times I view the QVC Forums without going to the trouble of logging-in. So would you please set it up so that you can view the start date for each thread without having to log-in to the QVC Forums. I look forward to this feature being activated again -- hopefully SOON!

Actually the problem is that on the forum page where the threads are listed, Like "Suggestion Box" it only shows the date and time of the most recent reply. You have to click on the thread to see when the original post was dated as well as the replies. I think what most of us are asking for is to be able to see the date the post was STARTED under the Author's name. Since the conversion, we've had people replying to posts that have been dormant for a couple of years. We used to be able to tell at a glance how long a thread had been going.

I think this is the thing most people want... to be able to see the date the thread was started BEFORE clicking on it and opening it. The dates were listed on the forum page under or next to the thread title on the old forum. That is a major piece of information that is missing here.
