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.
Regards,
lilybean

> 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.

Have you tried changing the settings at the top of the page and click on newest first because I think oldest first is the default setting.

I was ATTEMPTING to inform someone of the atrocities rebels in Northern Uganda inflicted - yet it WON'T post -- though I've had no problems posting to other threads. .

You know what - that's likely it. And that is WRONG. That is offensive to me, and that is offensive to the young women I work with. One of the reasons I am in the chat rooms is that certain members are mentoring me as I try to establish a self-sufficiency project for young women in Uganda ... who have been "forcibly made to copulate" -- if I can't discuss a charity project, what can I discuss?
Can we please go back to the old way where people had to click report if they didn't like language? I work in a war zone, and I see the WORST of humanity -- and people ASK me about it. Now I am not permitted to tell them. .

And not just discussing charity projects......but telling the people the 'WHY' behind them. So back to the 'bug' concept.....some words I can see have no place in a chatroom but other words do when being used properly. To broad brush censor words is to broad brush reality, truth and honesty .....because like all things in life there are good and bad depending on how it is being used. Don't censor and punish all the good.....just to eliminate a few bad.

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.

The straying from topic is just beefs about the McCarthy-ism of it all. .

Ex: I highlight my text that I want in italics and it puts both tags at the end. So you have to select the tags and then try and put your text in-between them. With the text size being as small as it is it's hit and miss.
When I used the tags the other day it was working fine ( putting the tags before and after the highlighted text as it's supposed to), but now it's not.
I'm using XP with IE 7.
