Glad the forum is up and running again, me included as I intend to post here and on the Proboard, but I surely hope it's a 'wake up call' for those that think it can't/won't happen again.  Just a friendly reminder, have your 'back up/plan B ready'.

Agreed!  I'm glad we now have the proboards to chat as well!!

@Shanus   at least you received a response.  The Q Social Team who is usually good about responding ignored my several emails over the last two weeks asking what the problem is.

Q'S WEBSITE IS JUST THE WORST.  CONSTANT IT ISSUES.   THAT NICKNAME THING IS ABOUT TO DRUVE ME NUTS.  HAVING TO SCROLL THROUGH PAGES FROM THE TOP WHEN LOOKING FOR AN ITEM IS RIDICULOUS.

@Teddixat  Not sure there is an IT team, but rather old software and 2 guys who try to operate it by fixing/taping old data together. Never had to change my NIC, but have removed credit info...not sure this is a secure site  now or before.

I registered on Proboards once I heard QVC was going to close these forums, so when I was locked out, I went on there and it was just fine! Like anything else it will take a little getting used to, but it was nice to "see" some familiar names and be able to connect with one another! I plan to continue on both boards while able!

I couldn't post for 2 weeks. My pal just quit checking. I had to change a bunch of stuff and start over.

@Harpa   I 'heard' that the social team told one poster it was the IT company's issue...they had let the company  'go' because the boards were going to close but failed to notify them that they were staying 'live'....the contract ended and there was no back up in place.  

I don't know if this is true or not, just what I read on the PROBOARDS.

I don't think the problem was intentional.  Could be that the regular IT staff was on vacation, etc., and maybe a temporary  replacement was on duty.  

Anyway, I'm glad to be back.

There are worse things in life.  

Frustrating, yes.  But, not a 'disaster' by any means.

Let's all wish for good health and safety.

Wishing all veterans and their families and us all peace and safety.

The forums may be back, but no miracle involved. I finally received a reponse from the IT TEAM that they had an "agency" outside of Q who runs the forums. When they first decided to delete forums on Nov. 2nd, they canceled that  contract. I was told this long time the forums were not available, was an attempt to get that contract back.

Believe any of that? I have swamp land for sale!!!!

@Shanus  Perhaps SOME DAY before these forums go down for good, you'll have one positive thing to say about QVC. Then again, perhaps not. 🥺

I TOTALLY believe it...that is how many companies work.  Things like these forums are outsourced. 

My company outsources a lot of IT.  We don't even have an IT dept.  We are too small.

Everything is contracted out.

That answer is exactly what I and many ppl thought might have happened when they went down ON the day that was originally set to close.
