Official Share Community Platform Feedback: "Best for leaving direct suggestions, suggesting new board features, and flagging platform errors"There's absolutely no doubt in my mind that Australia will be the very LAST site to fix any glitches on the new forum, if they're fixed at all !In order, it will be 1) US, 2) UK and 3) Australia.Three days ago, I looked at the US and UK sites and it became obvious what the problem is with our locked Ask a Member forum.The US site has the Ask a Mentor forumAt the top of the page it shows: "Locked - Discussions in this board are limited to the original poster and Community Mentors"The UK site has the Member to Member forumAt the top of the page it shows: "Locked - Discussion interactions are currently paused"Both sites have active threads with posts from members requesting help and replies from mentors.Thankfully we have no mentors in Australia.I spoke to eBay Help and was initially fobbed off with:"Similar to recent site migration delays in the US, communities typically experience temporary read-only status and pauses on discussion boards while migrating posts, accounts, and profiles over"I then explained AGAIN that we don't have mentors in Australia and this was the reply"Bevy has likely misconfigured the eBay Australia forum permission settings by copying the exact layout, rules, and restrictions meant only for the UK and US mentor spaces. Because the platform migration is actively handling the entire global community layout simultaneously, the system is accidentally applying the global "pausing non-mentor interactions" rule to the Australian "Ask a member" forum, effectively locking out regular users where no mentor program even exists"I told them we'd like it unlocked ASAP.Reply : "I will note it down as feedback and will forward it to management and site development team"
