As you can see, we have upgraded the Canada discussion boards to offer several new features, along with a new look that is more “eBay" (visit http://www2.ebay.com/aw/ca/200903.shtml#2009-03-30150011 for the original announcement).
Starting today, April 1st, 2009, we are opening this thread so that you can report any bugs or technical issues that you may experience with the upgraded platform.
We will monitor this thread this week through April 6th to collect your reports. Please use this thread for technical issues only. 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.
To report a bug or issue, please use the following format. It will help us figure out why the bug happened and reproduce it so we know how to fix it.
1. Operating system(s) and version(s)(e.g., Windows XP):
2. Browser(s) (With version) (e.g., FireFox2; IE 7.3):
3. URL (URL where error occurred) http://www.?
4. Username(s) of those seeing the bug (your ID)
5. Description/steps taken to reproduce (with all exact link names and relevant page URLs):
6. Actual result: (explain what happened)
7. Error message received (include exact and complete error message text and/or screenshot- not required only if none exists
8. Expected (desired/correct) result
If you need some help learning how to use the tools on the new discussion board platform, please visit our "help" page at http://forums.ebay.com/help.jspa.
We hope you enjoy exploring the new forums.

lilybean

Forgive me, I still have the flu so what I'm about to say may not sound kind.
What lilybean, you're still here and miriam isn't? Scratches head, blows nose.
Now on to this new format, I know you weren't asking for suggestions, but have you ever considered that some the of people who post on the boards are aging, therefore making them change resistant. So are you trying to accomodate a younger market?
My suggestion, quit fricking with things that don't need fricking with, get down to business and look after the things that need to be fixed X-(
You can start with fixing the Item Specifics *New* (which can not be altered) in the Collectibles category. If even just that is fixed, I may consider listing on eBay again. I got tired of listing my vintage Christmas in Home & Garden 😞

I generally like the new boards.
Couple of suggestions;
Larger print - we're all getting older - 4 and 6 point print's hard to read.
Could you put the "Go to page#" button on the top of the posts as well? It'll save a lot of scrolling time.
I agree about a "last post" button - that was handy, I'd like to see it back.

When I post a message - it goes back to the first pages (if multiple pages). I would like to see it go to my post.
Oh, and if we can 'ignore' someone - is there a way of blocking a picture? There's at least 1 which I find downright offensive. .

I also would like to see the avatars go away on someone you ignore.
What good id ignore if her face is staring at you.

We all know this is as good as it's going to get so we'd be best off taking care of the things we can take care of ourselves.

When I scroll over the MY EBAY tab thing in the upper right hand corner, the drop box comes down but I can not navigate and click to take me to where I want to go.
I have to click the tab and then go on with my travels. If my mouse scrolls either left or right of the tab I want the drop down box remains and doesn't hide itself so that I have 3 or 4 drop down boxes that I can't use.
I am currently using Firefox and Windows XP

Actually folks Miriam still works for eBay.ca in a different capacity. 🙂
That information was posted earlier this year.
The stickiness problem mentionned by dvdaisysales (above) only affects the discussion boards on eBay.ca. It works fine on eBay.com boards. (I use XP, MSIE 7)

Also as mentioned many times there is the size of the font or the thickness or darkness. When you do a long post (yeah sometimes it's necessary), it's very difficult for some people to read. This is an adult board, not a board for kids who have 20/20 vision. People's vision changes as they get older (just mentioning this for the tech's information) and we have some posters who are in their 60's and 70's and others who have vision problems. Certainly in some way this can be corrected. We don't want to lose these long time members of the community.
