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   I have no idea but the Q would still need an IT team to run the shopping aspect so I doubt the Q was left rudderless without an IT team.

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'.    


So true @ciao_bella .  I'm glad I'm a member on the Proboards - along with over 1000 others from the Q forum.  Everyone should prepare for when the day these forums close for good - which I still believe will be not too long in the distant future.

Guess not, they come back to complain some more.  


@CrazyDaisy Yes. There are some real ingrates.


Just don't understand.  If you are unhappy and have other options, then just move on.  Seems like they come back for revenge and ruin it for everyone.  


@CrazyDaisy    ????  Who is back for revenge with the intent to ruin it for everyone???

 

Most posters were displeased with the upcoming shut-down, and then were a tad suspicious (and it makes sense) that the boards were now back for good; then another problem signing in showed up.

 

Some, like myself, joined the other because of the pm feature.

 

Once I saw something over there I closed my account.  No sense putting up with it in two places.

 

So speaking for myself-I have always said I would continue to post at both until the Q shut down for good. 

 

I left the other before this revival so it has nothing to do with being ungrateful or setting out to start trouble here.

 

Please address directly those you feel have bad intentions and let the rest of us be.

The canned response to delete cookies and switch browsers was ridiculous.  I received this response on day 5.

I finally caved and signed up at the other forum yesterday....after only 10 minutes there my McAfee shut it down, said dangerous risky site so I bailed out on that.


Today my old fave QVC forums are back, so I'm staying here.


@author  I like these forums, too.  Much easier to navigate.


@Patriot3 

 

It's not McAfee.  Someone masquerading as McAfee wanting to plant malware if we open the page.  


How would they be able to do that @Foxxee if Proboards is a secure site? That seems like a problem they need to solve.

Not sure why you felt it necessary to reply directly to my comments, particularly if you felt that they didn't apply to you, but OK.
