PLEASE MODS WE NEED A SEPARATE BOOK FORUM PLEASE PLEASE

LoriLori — Wed, 05 Aug 2015 11:30:15 GMT

It's gotten so I don't even read the book threads anymore since they're all mixed in and mixed up. If you research it, it took Sunala a very long time to get QVC to give book lovers a separate forum. Then the board change came and poof it was gone.

Since floating topics only works when you're signed in, and since you can't stay signed in as long as you used to, it's just too time-consuming to pick through all the lively conversations about TV shows to get to the books. That's time I could be spending actually reading a book.

Okay, I'm begging and I others would beg too. PLEASE separate books from TV/Movies. Pretty please with sugar on top?

Things are tough enough here. Maybe you can do this one thing to help us adjust? I am all for making my life easier-you seem to have made it harder. Give us a separate forum and we'll have conquered one hurdle.

Here's another PLEASE for a separate BOOK forum again. There are some good features in the new software, but it has certainly taken all the fun out of participating in the community.

Please can you give us our own Book Forum again? We had a lot of our members pleading with you before this new board change, and you were kind enough to let us have our own private book section where we discuss books we read and suggest books for our reading friends to find.

We would be ETERNALLY GRATEFUL if you'd give us back our BOOK FORUM.

Thank you!

I've read a few of the "request for a book forum" threads, and I felt really sad that you've lost the forum which you had fought so hard to obtain.

Out of curiosity, I took a look through the new consolidated Books, TV, and Movies forum, and I could immediately understand why you had been requesting a separate forum. All of the movie and TV series threads make it extremely difficult to find the book threads.

I know that if I were new to the QVC forums, I would feel discouraged by the current placement of the book forum. I probably would just leave and look for another book forum site. And I think that's a shame.

Reading books opens up the world in such a unique way. The breadth and depth of a book affords an author a unique opportunity to to let people see things from a different perspective. Books can challenge people to rethink how they view important ideas. Oprah's book club tapped into people's innate curiosity and inspired the creation of any number of book clubs.

In our fast paced, technology enhanced world, unfortunately, a lot of people don't feel that they have the time to sit down and read a book.

I hope that QVC will review their current decision and decide to really encourage people to read more books by creating a separate book forum.

In the meantime, @LoriLori @Judaline @sunala and @Honeybit, you might want to start a thread in the Books, TV, and Movies forum suggesting that the folks who want a separate book forum add their requests to this PLEASE MODS WE NEED A SEPARATE BOOK FORUM PLEASE thread. You could even post a hot link to this PLEASE MODS WE NEED A SEPARATE BOOK FORUM PLEASE thread in your current forum to make it easier for them to add their request for a new book forum.

While there are any number of items on QVC's forums improvements list, based on my experience with the new My Favorite Brand forum, it seems as though QVC could create a new book forum with the flip of a switch.

Best of luck!!!

I'm another who really would like separate forums for subjects.

In fact, I would like to see the forums arranged the way they were in the previous board.

There, as you know, all brands for fashion had a sub-forum under the fashion forum, and so on. Now brands are on a high-level forum that is, frankly, a bit clumsy.

In the meantime, a separate forum for books would be appreciated!

For someone who reads about 6 books or more a week and I have 16 checked out right now, which is typical for me I do love to read. Absolutely need a book forum only!

I set my alarm for 3:20 every day just to get some reading time in every day with no distractions. I love it. Stationary biking and reading while the rest of the world sleeps.

Yes, would it be possible to have a separate forum called "Entertainment" like we had in the old Forum.

Under Entertainment we had the following categories:

Books
TV
Movies
Music

Sunala (long time member) fought hard to get a separate book forum set up for us under the previous Forum.

It appears sub-categories can be done in this new Forum set up, since it was done under "My Favorite Brand". Would you please be kind enough to do the same for Entertainment readers?

@amy-QVC, @Keyai, @Kim-QVC, @Eva-QVC, @Mike-QVC, please please have your programmers help make this happen. It's a small problem, maybe, but that makes it much easier to solve. Thank you!!!

How sad that a subject as simple as a good book would have to have 5 posts removed due to ugliness.

Reading is such a joy and so important that all should be taught regardless of their age.

Books = Reading how can anyone oppose that?

Would love for the book subforum to be returned.

I just came back to this topic. Someone actually had to have their posts removed because they criticized our peaceful request for a book forum? Unbelievable!
