I set my page up as forum style so it looks like the forum use to.

No!

I hate that my name says new user. I had over 200 posts now my count says 5.

Meh, it's fine. People need to be patient until they work the kinks out. People are acting like it's the end of the world and asking a billion questions before taking the time to navigate it themselves.

It still looks a little cluttered on my desktop version, but I'm sure I'll get used to it. It looks really good on my mobile phone.

I actually like the hearts (I've always wanted a "Like" feature here). It's easier than a bunch of people posting "ITA."

I am getting used to it but it is running slow for me too. Like molasses.

I would prefer the old boards with a few of the features of this one.  Or if we have to have this one, then BRING BACK THE GOOD THINGS ABOUT THE OLD ONE.  I'm copying and pasting what I posted in another forum... there are a few things I like here, but more that I don't.  I have figured out that one can post here without understanding all the new unnecessary (in my opinion) "stuff" that has been added... just ignore some of that.

I have found that I've spent so much time trying to figure out what's going on here, that I haven't paid any attention to what's actually being SOLD on QVC!  I usually check in on Monday nights to see what shenanigans Amy is up to on Inspired Style and then with "Lor" on her show... at least I get a laugh once in a while when they go a little overboard!  But I can't tell you a single garment that was shown on any fashion show last night... that says a lot right there.  My credit card was safe in my wallet!

One thing I don't like here is that when the reply box comes up, unless you're directly quoting someone, you can't see any of the other posts on the thread.  Sometimes I want to reply to someone or to several posts in general, and I could look at those (if on the same page) while I was typing my response.  Can't do THAT anymore.  

Another major thing I DON'T like about this new forum is the fact that it's almost impossible to find the threads I already posted on and the comments I made.  A result, no doubt, of someone erroneously deciding to deprive us of our posting history, i.e., "Activity"... I made a comment on a thread yesterday that I wanted to go back to, but for the life of me, I can't find it.  I think I know which thread it was, but there are so many posts there now, I don't know if it's that important to find it.  With the old boards, it would have been so easy!

Are you listening or reading, Social Team???????????  More time spent here trying to find and decipher = less time spent watching QVC and BUYING! (thumbs down emotie - if one were available).....

I'm sure there are some improvements but there are too many isses that, at least for me, make this iteration less useful.

1. a tread's original post doesn't stay sticky at the top with new responses directly below. Too much scrolling around to get from point a to point b. I've tried every option to change this, but none exists.

2. yanking the "my recent activity" without providing something similar that's easy and intuitive is a big issue for me;  not being able to view my comments, only my original posts doesn't work for me

3. all this white space is just plain ugly

4. not supressing some of the forums from appearing in the main feed (community, games, pets) means it's even harder to find topics that interest me AND with so much traffic for threads that are of interest to a select, but active minority, posts I work hard to create fall of the home page really quickly

I think the designers failed to take into consideration the key elements that made the previous version a winner. I expect tweaks, but since so many of you are so vocal about how much you like this version (I don't get why, but to each her own) and there's not the huge outrage of the 2010 change, I think this is what it is.

I don't see myself coming here as often to wade through pages of posts that don't interest me and mechanics that simply make so sense. And, I won't be tagging posts or emailing topics.

I'm sure it will get a little better each day, as we become more accustomed to the changes.  

Today is better for me, tomorrow should be better still.  

Hang in there, posters.  As with all other changes, this too shall pass!

[momtochloe]

I very rarely watch QVC at all anymore.  If I do buy from them, it's usually a Lunchtime Special purchase OR a recommendation from these boards.

I know change is hard but seeing as though I used to do this for a living, I think the launch could have been handled better.

I hope they are listening and will make the appropriate updates to better enhance the board experience.  I know we are making our way through the changes but there are a couple of key pieces that need to be brought back.

I'm sorry to jump on you, but you and posters who sing this same song are missing the point. There are navigation, UX, and design problems here that won't go away unless someone fixes them. No one will fix them unless we continue to point out, over and over, what's not working.
