*Updated Launch Date: New changes to the Community are coming soon!
**Launch Date has been updated to reflect new date
Hi everyone! We’re working on some exciting new changes to make the Community experience even better! With that said, we wanted to share with you all what to expect as we introduce these changes on March 15, 2017 and answer any questions you may have.
What’s going to change?
1. Rankings – We’ve heard your feedback and understand that Community ranks can be confusing. Instead, we’re going to use roles for identifying user types like “moderator” or “expert” so you can distinguish between Community members, experts and moderators.
2. Q&As – Q&A’s just like these are coming back in March to help you better connect with the HSN experts and brands you love!
3. Mobile – The mobile experience is getting an overhaul to resemble the same look & feel that you’re familiar with on desktop to help you stay connected with your friends on-the-go! :smileyhappy:
4. Articles – We’re excited to also say that our articles will be moving to their own destination. Think of this as a mini HSN magazine that will include DIY projects, home inspiration, fashion tips and more!
5. Private Messaging – This will be going away temporarily as we make changes, but we plan to keep this feature once updated.
6. Favorites & Subscriptions – We’re making two of your favorite features more easily accessible and more prominent on the home screen. Favorite: You’ll be able to bookmark topics that you’d like to follow or that you’ve commented on. Subscribe: You’ll be able to stay in the know when it comes to your favorite boards and topics by subscribing to them to follow any new posts. You will be able to access your favorites and subscriptions with one click on the home screen – no more digging through different topic threads! :smileyhappy:
The look and feel of the Community will be refreshed, but almost identical to our current design! We’re so excited! But, we always want to hear your feedback on how we can make your experience here even better. Are there any specific features you all would like to see?

Why are political comments not being taken down from the Community? They make it uncomfortable here.

After paying by off my HSN Card, I will be cutting my TIES with HSN. pick your battles carefully!!!!

I think it would be so nice to have a completely separate Community Forum for the games. Call it the Gamers Community Forum and have still have the regular Community Forum. There are so many threads from gamers that one has to really scroll through to find other threads not regarding “games”.

Hi
I just wanted to comment on how much I like the host that was on with Diane Gilman this morning. I haven’t caught her name yet but I believe she is a newer host. She has blond hair and a super friendly personality. I always watch when I see she is hosting. I hope to see a lot of her, she is my new favorite! -
will there be any attention given to the Forum Tags? They can be useful, but there are now so many, and so many meaningless ones, that they could stand a good scrub. It would be a shame to clear them out completely, but a fresh start may not be a bad idea.

If there were no PMs, I never would have been catfished here.

I’m still seeing the old rankings and have have cleared everything, has that not gone into place yet?

Ok … smiles gone , ranks gone and no mention of tickets beside the profile of posters.
This is progress, (I guess ) I like the smiles and like to see folks being recognised (ranks ) for contributing to the Community,however it is ok .
I saw one poster move to a Maven in a couple weeks … only post made were game scores they had . That is ok because HSN made no distinction between post of numbers – like 123458 and post that gave buyers helpful information . Post were post no distinction . So it was perfectly acceptable .
SO NO recognition of posters by rank , no Smiles and NO game tickets shown seems fairer than it has been Just MY opinion , not a divine revelation
I really do appreciate the information shared by fellow posters …. it has move me to buy so much. Maybe a little less helpfullness could help me save more money

Briana — The update you posted 1/12/2017 stated in the paragraph addressing rankings: “We’ve heard your feedback and understand that Community rankings can be confusing. To make things easier on everyone, we will no longer be classifying users by a ranking. There will be no more ranks or smile board.”
The recent update posted 1/29/2017 now instead reads: “We’re going to use roles for identifying user types like ‘moderator’ or ‘expert’ so you can distinguish between Community members, experts and moderators.” However, there is no mention of smiles. Are smiles, which many here wanted to say good riddance to, going to be retained?
If you doubt that the smile leaderboard appears to offer some sort of competitive gratification among Community members, and former members, please note the thousands of new smiles that have been given to years-old posts since you started your original thread on 1/4/2017.

Is the “discussion” over? I have seen your avatar at least a dozen times over the past 2 weeks but other than the last update to the OP none of any of the outstanding questions have been answered.
-
I’ve enjoyed moving up the ranks. I contributed it to all lthe participation I do and topics I bring up. I think I will miss it.
-
Please….After your word **UPDATED….at the beginning of your list, please add the date of when you made an update in the listing.
-
HSN, in the forums would it be possible to separate out ‘crafts’ from ‘home and crafts’. I am interested in the crafts community, but not in the home community. I believe more people would post to crafts if it had it’s own dedicated section. Thanks, Pam

This might sound trivial but I hope we can get our arrows back down at bottom of the page to go from 1 page to the next.Unless someone reads the board often,they might not know that you have to edit out the 1st page number and enter in next page number and press Enter since we have no arrows right now.
Thank you.:womanhappy:

I see the opening post has been edited again but still no answer to the question about the PM system. How long will it be inactive? Why wasn’t a post made letting people know about the most recent edit?
