Please be aware that this thread is only for reports of issues with the new discussion board platform. Reports of other eBay site issues will be deleted. In addition, other off-topic and inappropriate posts will be removed.

if you go through the forum, you will see most of the complaints...
personally, I dislike the font.. it's way too small, and should be upgraded or at least have a button where we can make it larger.
Also, I dislike the repetative titles appearing in each post, as if we are too dense to know which thread we are responding to...
I don't like having to wade through 7 pages in order to reach the newest postings, there should be a double arrow showing rather than the one > which only moves you up one page at a time..
The ignore button.. why on earth doesnt it make the whole person vanish? we are still seeing their avartar's, and their names.. on other sites I've used the ignore button, and they are poofed entirely.
What else now? Hmmmm
WHY FIX SOMETHING THAT AINT BROKEN !

This can lead to misunderstandings when there are five or six pages of comments, and you are quoting something someone said way back on the first page.
get what I mean?
and get a load of the ITALICS button, I need a magnifying glass to get my cursor in between the [ i [ and the [ / i }

Good to see you 🙂
Though not very pretty I do like the speed the pages load for me of the new layout.
I also would like to see the personal setting of font size.
I agree the repetition of the thread name is a space eater.
When quoting someone it is a great idea to show the poster's ID who you are quoting (maybe even post number but that's pie in the sky)
Left side poster idea - quite alot of wasted space to the right of the person's nick and avitar could be used for their post again minimizing the scroll factor to trying to read a thread.
I hope some of this has been helpful and have a great day Lilybean 🙂

The newest post replied to should automatically go to the top. Makes for faster responses and keeps topical discussions at the top.
Too much scrolling is involved now. Wasted space and hard to look at.

Like others have said also, if a certain person starts a thread, and you ignore them, I'd like thier entire thread to dissapear, and I dont want to see thier avatar.
I also totally agree that seeing the htread title over and over is wasting space and annoying.
The placement of the report button is also in the way - it makes it look like the first word anyone who's posted has written is "report".

Have you tried changing the settings at the top of the page?

Unless each day can be looked back upon by an individual
as one in which he has had some fun, some joy, some
real satisfaction, that day is a loss.

Topics per Page & Posts per Page:: 4 (is the default) ... other choices -10/16/24/50
Post Sort Order: oldest first (is the default) - additional choice is: newest first
Have set my choices/values to:
50
50
newest first
... far more screen real-estate now ... and, you don't have to scroll down and down to view the latest post in any given thread
Hope this helps ??
