Chatting (Version 2)

It’s polite to keep conversations on-topic; & members dislike when a thread becomes clogged with digressive chatter. But what to do when you don’t know or can’t find where to post your comment? If it’s not worth creating a new topic, post your idle chat, mindless drivel & irrelevant whatnot here!

* This topic replaces the 14-year-old, heavily used & much-loved “Chatting” thread, which is now inaccessible due to Bh site glitches.

    Thanks, @Kassalee – isn’t it a satisfying feeling? Congratulations on your May win, too!

    I’ve also got my strategies. I take ages between turns, making long lists of possibilities. I’m embarrassingly obsessed about keeping my 100%, haha!

    [EDIT] I don’t know why this was posted as a new comment instead of a reply to @Kassalee’s comment.

      AMAZING!! Misfortune8! Took me 3 goes.
      I got it back in May but I always start with the same 2 words to get all the vowels – so not a fluke!
      So I still start with the other word first so could get “lucky” again.
      I play it most days but occasionally forget so not caught up in statistics or winning streaks – just a bit of fun!

    @Kassalee, you DON’T need a new laptop – @Jatz’s “forest” covered all of the June Selections article for me! Thankfully you can both see the humour but for how long? Happy weekend.

    • 6 mths, 3 wks ago

      @Trish – giggling at my forest of palm trees that is. It’s on a few of the reviews now so quite hard to read anything at the moment. It is pretty though and makes me think of Hawaii. 🙂

      • 6 mths, 3 wks ago

        This is so bad @Jatz. Showed it to my digital marketing daughter 2 nights ago (wallpaper is only appearing on my laptop and not on my phone) and she cannot believe it’s not been fixed!

    • 6 mths, 3 wks ago

      Haha Trish_D my laptop works just fine if I stay off the beautyheaven website!

      You have a lovely weekend too!

  • 6 mths, 4 wks ago

    Or maybe I need a new laptop!

    Today, there is a new ad for ABC iview Ladies in Black show that appears when I go to the Forum tab – on my laptop. It splits my screen into 1/3 then 2/3 with the top ribbon coming across 1/3 of the way day – sits there while you scroll. Think they need a new IT person!

    • 6 mths, 4 wks ago

      @Kassalee – just wandered in here now and thought what the? You have described it perfectly on what is happening. Is hard to navigate with the ribbon of things coming down so off I go again. :-/

      • 6 mths, 3 wks ago

        Thanks for the backup @Jatz! Sometimes think I’m the only one seeing this ‘rubbish’ on the screen. Depends whether on my phone or laptop and as I’ve had reviews to do I have been on my laptop.

        Yeh that split in the screen is a shocker – as is the E45 wallpaper!

      • 6 mths, 3 wks ago

        @Kassalee – was just looking at the Booty reviews and its hard to read the reviews as the E45 with all the palm trees covers what you are trying to read. It seems to only be on that product but then I haven’t looked at all of them yet.

      • 6 mths, 3 wks ago

        Can’t see the Forest for the the Trees perhaps @Jatz?

        Sorry – couldn’t resist!

  • 6 mths, 4 wks ago

    This Marketing Clearly DOES NOT WORK so can they please STOP using it!

    • 6 mths, 4 wks ago

      Kassalee the marketing is taking up loads on the page.

      • 6 mths, 4 wks ago

        I get that marketing/advertising pays the bills Perthchick (my daughters in digital marketing) but who are you advertising to, when you’re losing you’re audience?
        If this was another site I visited – and these ads in such an annoying format were coming up (wallpaper on my screen or cutting up my screen into thirds) it’s site I wouldn’t be going back to.

        Loyalty is being tested and I’m learning to not be loyal if there’s no reward.

  • 6 mths, 4 wks ago

    Not getting the Efficlar ad (not that I recall!) but I am occasionally getting the E45 WIN A TRIP FOR 2 TO HAWAII ‘Wallpaper’ filling up the screen on my Laptop. GRRRRRRR.

    Noticed it yesterday when it came up on a couple of the reviews I was looking at. Makes the page totally unreadable as the ‘Wallpaper’ is there when you’re scrolling! I shut the page immediately – it’s so annoying.

  • 7 mths ago

    That darn Efficlar ad keeps blocking the whole page & I have to hit refresh a few times to get rid of it.

    • 7 mths ago

      Me too, it’s stopping me from entering the competition because it covers half the form.

      • 7 mths ago

        I don’t see this ad you are referring to but I use an Adblock extension on Google Chrome.

      • 7 mths ago

        Thanks, @Ethelinde – I couldn’t see your reply due to the ad, but I came up with the same solution & now it’s finally gone.

      • 7 mths ago

        I use the same extension @Ethelinde. It’s excellent for removing ads although recently I’ve noticed some ads on Youtube are still getting through.

  • 7 mths ago

    Hehe @Jatz – You’re welcome! No, I’m saying the number of reviews I have has gone down AGAIN. Since the site revamp. I’m not 100% certain though.

  • 7 mths, 1 w ago

    Has anyone noticed their review count has gone down. I could have sworn I had more reviews (after the beautyheaven Website change several years ago). I’m sure I was sitting at over 200 but I apparently only have 195 on my profile.

    • 7 mths ago

      Yes, @Okatko, you’re right! Tens of thousands of reviews were lost in the 2021 site revamp. I had written 862 before the site revamp, & I’ve written 100 since then; & yet my current “My Reviews” total is only 481.

      The missing reviews are not from brands that have left Bh – many of my missing reviews are for currently listed products.

      • 7 mths ago

        @Misfortune8 So you think you are missing more reviews SINCE the site revamp. I usually take a screenshot when I submit a review (especially when its a trial) with the “Your review was submitted. It might take a few days to display the review after its moderated” pop up window but I might start taking screenshots of my review count also. I was trying to find a review I had written years ago that I was sure was still on my profile but I couldn’t find it. I’m going to have to go through the process of backtracking and saving all my reviews before I lose anymore but that is going to be so time consuming.

      • 7 mths ago

        Okatko: I only noted my total number of reviews but didn’t keep copies of the reviews. I used to keep copies of my pending reviews, then delete my copy once they got published. But recently, I went right back through my current “My Reviews” list & took copies. I lost 481 reviews when the site revamped & those are lost forever. Some of those lost reviews were for currently listed products, so I’m writing new reviews for the products I still use.

        SINCE the 2021 site revamp, I haven’t lost any more. All reviews I’ve written since October 2021 are accounted for in the “My Reviews” list. My total number of reviews listed is only missing the 481 lost during the revamp – my correct total should be 962 reviews.

      • 7 mths ago

        Okay thanks @Misfortune8, then I am just imagining it. I wasnt sure.

      • 7 mths ago

        @Okatko: maybe, maybe not. There are so many site glitches you could be right.

        The only thing I know for sure is that none of mine from AFTER the revamp are missing.

    • 7 mths, 1 w ago

      @Okatko – Can I just say thank you for finding this thread and not starting a new thread. :-). Hopefully more members will come in here and chat instead of starting a new thread which only has 2 comments on it. If you need to chat, come on in here and ask a question or let us know you received something or need an answer to.

      Yes I remember I was heading for a higher amount of reviews but then it all changed with the site.

    • 7 mths, 1 w ago

      @Okatko: my reply is pending moderation, but you’re right!
