Hello

[aernethril]

We've just seen the announcement about the changes on the .ca site, over the pond in the UK.

Are there no posts about this here yet, or am I too early?

🙂

[pierrelebel]

You are a bit early.

The changes on eBay Canada (eBay.ca) - announced only a few days ago - are expected to take effect later this month.

One thread had been started on the subject:

http://community.ebay.ca/topic/Seller-Central/Sorry-I-Was/3000009663?start=0

[toby_le_pue]

This is part of an email I received from ebay last week.

On Tuesday, June 11th, 2013, from 1pm to 2pm EST, we’ll be hosting an online session where some invited members will have a chance to see the new Community as well as ask questions you may have regarding the upcoming changes.

[pierrelebel]

The webminar scheduled for 1:00pm (Eastern) today has been cancelled.

[aernethril]

Thank you guys.

It looks like the process for you begins tomorrow and if I've read the notice correctly, this forum will stay open for comments?

[lady.stark]

I don't think it will stay open - read only. Hope the process won't take too long though. It will be hard not posting anything. 😉

[my*quiet*place]

Apparently we can post here, I'm hoping eBay will be reading.

Groups in eBay.com have been affected. The posting box is changed and we are unable to type within that box, making posting to our group impossible.

[my*quiet*place]

😄 I must have caught the change in progress - now able to post.

[lady.stark]

Well, I just replied to another topic, and it worked too. So the "read-only" mode is not in effect yet. Business hours maybe? 😉

[kalvin@ebay.com]

Hi everyone,

"Read-only" mode will take effect some time today and will last a few days until the new platform is in place. This will be the only board available for posting while the transition is in progress.

Please try to limit conversations to topics pertaining to these changes.

If anything urgent comes up, please feel free to drop me an email.

Thanks,

[ilurkthereforiam]

What are the rules here?

Are we allowed to discuss politics or stick to ebay related issues?

Really just wanted to test this new reply box ..

Is there any way to get back to it if the smiley pop-up appears but I don't want to use one after all? Seems as if there is no option to just close it.

Oh, and

• list options...
• font colours
• sooooo jealous ....

Just waving to everyone in Canada ... 

... and to Aerne, too.

[luise*75]

sorry, just testing something again ...trying to find out whether there is an edit time or not ...

Spoiler

Spoiler

Hmmm, also not sure what the spoiler tag does or doesn't do .. and not sure how to get rid of it again either 😞

Am I missing an undo button?

[aernethril]

I'm really only adding to the discussion in general but it appears it's going to look as if I'm responding to Luise's post.

I haven't worked out how to get my avatar on yet.

But it is very helpful to have this opportunity to try things out over here - so hope you all don't mind us from the UK invading for a bit.

It's muchly appreciated.

[aernethril]

I have found the Edit button!

(I don't like these smileys - they're a bit 'hard')

And here is me edited post.

pssssst, Luise - it's in the Options drop down menu on the right.

No huggy smileys either.

[luise*75]

I had found it, Aerne - had about 4 minutes to edit ...

No huggy smileys?

Here you go ... well, at least I hope so ...

[**caution**opinion_ahead]

*pops by to test the smileys*

Dear, oh dear!  Not keen on that selection.

Let me see if I can import anything more ... well ... me!

Oops, forgetting my manners.  Good afternoon morning to the Canadian posters, good afternoon to the Brit invaders.

Luise, how did you get your avatar to show up?  Did you have to load it up somewhere here?

I don't think I did upload it, Caution ... but 'twas so long ago ...

Just checked and can't see any option on the profile to do - sooooo, assuming it was done automatically. Did you sign into the "normal" .ca site before posting here?

It would be nice to see that lovely car ... 😄

Just trying an edit (think it might be a good idea to show when a post was edited) - to see how long the option to do is there after editing the first time.

Also think the quotes ^^^^ is looking a bit sad and a tad difficult to miss.

Good morning to all Canadian posters who allow us to be here.

Adding: just seen it does show that and when a post has been edited but not what ....

I believe the avatar comes from your eBay feedback page.
