I got the email too. Didn't really read it though (blah blah blah Smiley Very Happy) and deleted it instead.

Butbut, I don't WANT to have separate profiles... I like it all together, now I'll have to have more than one page open...

*grumble grumble whine*

Ok, got that out of my system. (mostly)

Hope the changes go smoothly, for everyone's sake.

Yes, for those of you that hop from one "side" to the other and contribute to the soon to be separate communities, you'll have two forums to keep up with....and two separate profiles it seems.   😞

I, too, hope the transition is a smooth one...change can be a good thing, but it isn't always easy.

Anyone know if there's going to be anything different about these forums? Will there be different features? Will we be able to do different things, or is it only for wireless discussions?

Glad you received your emails letting you know about the new Verizon Wireless community, and thank you for sharing the FAQs, SuzyQ!  You might find this page a little easier to view, as it has an overview of all the questions: New Verizon Wireless Community FAQs

The new Verizon Wireless community will indeed be focused on wireless discussions. Initially the communities, while separate, will have similar features; over time, certain features or functionality may be unique based on the needs of each unique community. And yes, somegirl, you will have two different Verizon communities to hang out in now, with two separate profiles if you are active with both residential and wireless boards (which I believe you are!).

We are actively working to ensure as smooth a transition as possible. The information in the FAQs will help you in the beginning, if needed. And of course, all of your friends here in the Verizon Community are ready to help, too!

The new wireless forum really sucks.I liked it better when we were all packed in as one. I absolutely hate how some of my kudos were taken away from me. I had about 437ish and now I am down to 418 over there. Wish I could get them back some how. I did earn them after all. No MVP section there either. 

Wish my opinion mattered. Smiley SadSmiley Sad

There are still some issues being ironed out. Missing 20 Kudos should not get you down. Wireless users have a nice new playground. MVP area must just have been missed. I am sure something like that will be added. It was just spun off  Friday, and I have found a few items that they are looking into already. I am sure your opinion, like all user's opinions matter. I voiced my opinion about wireless having their own forums when wireless was added to the forums, and then voiced my opinion against the split. So I guess there was a reason to give wireless more room, and broader board options for growth. I think they are even going to do something there like the CL here. Perhaps you will find your way into that area, and I think you should. With the amount of participation, and number of contributions you have made, I feel you deserve it. Then again that's my opinion.Smiley Wink

I still don't like the new playground. The tags are still messed up as well over there. Personally I think you and others get more respect and they listen to you because your a CL.  I mention something,seems to go down the toilet.

There are only 2 activate CL's over there on the wireless forum which are Suzy and Doc. Not many CL's come to think of it.....bummer. That is kinda a joke of me being a CL. I really think that adminstration or other CL's will not nominate me to be one. Don't think admin likes me much. Their so blind sided anyways.  But then again it would be the altimate birthday (coming soon) present to get that email of the CL asking thing.

Got to remember not to nip at people any more. Ah the pressure mounts up.
