Suggestion Box

[wismiss]

Moderators:  I have read many, many, many posts in which the subject of the new format being "difficult to read".  Personally, my eyes start watering and/or itching after a very short time.

Why can't you go back to the old program and use the same font family, size, and colors that were used previously?

The forum is provided as a way to communicate across the nation with other QVC fans, and frequently when someone mentions a certain item, I will look up that item up.  Sometimes I order it,  sometimes I don't.  I used to scan the whole list of posts and read those that interested me.  Now I only go to the one thread and then sign off.

If too many people leave this forum, because of something that could be so quickly fixed, I predict you will see a decrease in sales.

I have to agree.  First, this stark white background is very hard on the eyes. A softer screen would help tremendously. Also the print choice is too small.  I guess there are ways to enlarge it, but why should we have to? Can't the Mods enlarge the standard print, and then if others want to change theirs they can. But what they have now might be fine if you're under 30.  After that, it gets too small.  I haven't found a way to enlarge my own screen, and I can only watch/read for about ten minutes or so without a major headache. And yes, we mature folks do have money to spend.

PLEAE MODS, DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. YOU ARE DEFINITELY LOSING PARTICIPANTS, AND PROBABLY SALES - AT LEAST FROM ME.

Wismiss, the link in my signature will take you to a post with directions on how to change your default font size and other things. You can also change the default font size on your browser instead of through the forums.

Because changing it allows everyone to choose their own size of choice, versus accepting whatever choice they are handed. If you want it extra large, you can choose that without forcing that choice on me when I don't want it. This way people have options.

Condescending talk from moderators is not helping, either.

Chynna Blue, I have tried several different font families, font sizes, and colors and something still doesn't seem right.  When I look at other posts, if they do choose larger fonts, the lines are tightly together without space between lines.

If you just take a quick glance at a page of posts, it looks messy.  If you received a letter from a company and it looked like this, what would your thoughts be of that company?  If this page was a home page on a company's site, would you find it easy to see? One of the most irritating things is the huge print of the title on every post.  Why is it necessary to include the title of the thread on every post?  Just making that one change would reduce the extra unneccessary print.

If you take your hands and cover all the outside "extras", and look at only the posts, it still doesn't look right.  Then throw back in all the outside extras, and it's not very user friendly or eye pleasing.

Thank you for your suggestions, though, and I will continue to try changing fonts and size until I find one that is more pleasing to the eye.

If you press the ctrl and the + sign at the same time it will make your print easier to read. I am not sure if it gets bigger or just darker. It helps and is easy to do.

You can change or customize your own fonts by using the tool bar at the top of each posting screen.

I understand your request, as I started a similar thread a couple weeks ago asking for a little bit of color, since the white was difficult on my eyes, too. I also just thought some background color would make it more inviting and visually appealing.

However, it is not the moderators who would be making these changes. The moderators are here to make sure the Community guidelines are being properly followed and to help things run smoothly. Posting in the Suggestion Box was the right thing to do, though. That's why it's here. Maybe we'll see some changes down the road as a result of many suggestions/requests like this.

Compare this to what is actually posted and see how cleaning it up just a little makes a huge difference.

Moderator: PLEASE listen to the posters

Edit:  I tried using color but when I copied and pasted it did not do all the changes I had made.  But, I still think you get the idea.
