Checked out new boards and I cannot figure out how to find individual sub-forums under a forum such as FASHION...looking for Quacker Factory.  Is this still possible?

 

Does not seem to be user friendly.

They have seem to cut out a lot of forums, which is a shame for me.

 

It's not my favorite change and will take longer to adjust for sure.

I don't think I've ever had to scroll around as much as I do now.  I miss being able to see many options like when there was an area called View All Catagories. 

 

I seem to always be at a place where the page is empty.  Pages look spotty and bare.

I've enjoyed QVC's boards for several years, and every little while they do an "upgrade" or a "redesign" and throw everybody into a tizzy.  Totally unnecessary, as far as I'm concerned, but seems to be part of the routine here.

 

There are a few new things I like on this version, including the opportunity to "heart" posts I agree with (sort of like 'liking" something on Facebook, I guess), and more design options for reply entries.

 

I'm really missing the familiar subcategories and some of the category headings (like Viewpoints).  I don't care for the hokey new emoticons and think the general tenor of some of the new features seems a bit juvenile.  We aren't junior high kids, QVC!  I generally find this layout less intuitive and harder to navigate, and am quite sure QVC has rearranged things for their goals and ends and not for users'.  It's their boards and their prerogative, but most of the people who post (and shop) here enjoyed the old topics and associations and won't appreciate being shoved and quashed.

 

I imagine most of us will cope, but I hope they'll correct some of the shortcomings over time.
