Discussion Board Upgrade -- Bug Reports

[lilybean@ebay.com]

Hi there, it's lilybean from the Canada team.

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.

A suggestion, lillybean;

It's tough to determine if we're signed into the boards or not - could you put a blurb at the top that tells us and lets us sign in, like we had on the old boards?

It's causing some problems. -------------------------------------------------------------------
Every day, a businessperson has to ask himself 2 questions;

Am I being paranoid? and
Am I being paranoid enough?

" the drop box comes down but I can not navigate and click to take me to where I want to go. "

That problem (bug) appears to have been fixed this afternoon!

I did notice that and Thanks to the powers that code this forum.

In the 'preview' box at the bottom of the main thread page, I am continuously getting previews of posters that I have ignored. .

why can't you remove the dead spaces and allow more views in one page,the way it is now is hard to follow a conversation...better bring back the old forum,why are you? always trying to re-invent the wheel....

[wattie515]

Previously viewed threads:

There seems to be a cookie issue with the boards. When viewing previously viewed threads it no longer hides the posts you've already seen. It is showing all posts all the time on all the Canadian boards I've been to.

This has been happening for the last 3 days I believe. Some folks are talking about it on the Selling on eBay board.

I expect it to be like it was before what ever futzed up a few days ago.

I have the same problem. Only on the Canadian boards.

[prior-of-verity*shake-hands-with-your-devil]

Same problem here. Before this new 'look' when you went to a thread there was the OP and then the last post you looked at, or if you posted the last post. Then after that there were all the new posts. Now it takes you from 9 to 14 previous posts (depending on which thread you open) and these are all the ones you seen before. Some posts are long, some newspaper copy and paste articles and you have to scroll and scroll and scroll down to get to where you left off.

We liked the way it was.

Just thought I'd put my 13 cents in.
