I don't see this board as updated or improved by any stretch of the imagination. We pad users can barely use its functions, not nearly so much as the old boards which were themselves antiquated. They sell thousands of the darn things but can't come up with a method of communicating using a pad? It's so ironic, it's funny.

The "team" is all eager to answer questions until someone inquires about a pad function. Then they become very silent and refuse to discuss the issue. What a farce!

The iPad experience is better for me now. No more tiny font unless I type in a code. I can paragraph and use the variety of fonts on my keyboard. It is annoying not to be able to quote.

The Q will never get the 20's demographic.  Their merchandise doesn't appeal to that group.

What's with the inability to use the "hearts" now?  Javascript issues?

I don't know a single 20-yr old who watches TV.........

LOL, people were complaining before the upgrade for change.   Darn it wasn't exactly everything they wanted.  

There are lot's of other boards to go to.  They're just a click away. Why torture yourselves with such unhappiness?   Oh yeah some people live to complain.

It seems that the long term faithful customers, their base, are aging, retiring and the Q needs to replace them with new younger customers. However, it seems they neglected to realize that the replacements they seek may well be related to the old standbys so if the standbys become disenchanted, and if the BB is an indication they have, they won't be recommending the Q.

I haven't read anything about the reason for the new not so improved forum, maybe I missed the explanation.

O R, the Q is just modernizing their site. They're not trying to get rid of customers, this board is almost identical to the one at HSN. Why are you taking this change so personally?

HSN Boards are awful since they changed them too

[Suziepeach]

Whoa, how has this thread made it for so long, the title alone is very out there? 

I like the Q's improvements & I believe it will get better, not meant to run people off and I hope it stops the bullying and bashing of both hosts and posters.

I'm not taking it personally. I'm not a long time faithful customer, I'm not a grandmother, and I'm not retired. 

I don't buy Q fashion, poly is not something I wear. I've seen handbags I've liked but I don't want a bag made in China. The last purchase I made was a rug for my patio.

As to younger shoppers, I was thinking 30-40 age group. Maybe those who are SAHM or work from home.

Re:

"It seems the Q wants to be "Current" so we have some non-essential person on Facebook communicating with fans. Now we have a ridiculous Forum with a lot of silly hearts, tags, and a Mommy or two or three making sure we don't post anything worth reading. 

We have non-sense hosts showing off instead of presenting the item.

It's like those grandmothers with blond hair and teenaged attire. It the pigs ear trying to be a silk purse. 

Maybe they are trying to attract a younger customer while still selling the same old stuff."

******************

I don't understand the complaint.  The Q is modernizing their chat boards to keep up with the times but you think that doesn't coincide with their supposedly aging shopping base?

People of all ages use Facebook, even those grandmothers you mentioned.

[cowboy sam]

I'm a greatgrandmother and i don't have blond hair or dress like a teenager.Nor am i on facebook.

The Q i feel needed to keep up with the times.
