We've got 'til tomorrow

[twyngwyn]

Community Announcement:

We have been working on updating the design and usability of the eBay community in order to enhance the experience you have here. We will roll out the update on March 24.

I saw that

I can hardly wait  

Spoiler

Note to Sheldon , yes , it is sarcasm

Great idea!

It's always good to "fix" something that is simple & easy to use & turn it into the same dog's breakfast as the US & UK Boards.

I've been posting in the UK... the new format wouldn't be bad if they would just have the last thread posted to float back to the top, as it does here now.  The poor UK board is all but dead these days, and I blame it on this one flaw... maybe board killing is their intention?

For the full message -

New Community Design coming soon! - The eBay Community

And yes, killing Community was always on the cards.

But March 24th seems an odd date.

They should have made it April 1st   IMO

Maybe we can have work arounds - remains to be seen.

You can float a particular thread to the top and pin it there.

In the meantime, it was nice knowing y'all

Love the announcement... no wonder the message is from "the team"... no individual would want their name on it... full of bold faced lies... "enhance the experience"... "easier to use"... "not have implications on the discussions"... "find it easier to get what you are looking for"... "the core is still the same"...

If all of this wasn't so sad, I'd laugh out loud...

They need to come down here to NSW flood areas and direct their buttocks covering skywards 

[sandypebbles]

So good, they have had to post the same thing again

But with added 'how good it is' bits

They must think members love everything they 'fix' for us

Shame they did not spend a quarter as much time and energy on things that actually need fixing/changing

The Team is too cowardly to give any advanced notice in case we made a fuss.  Typical ebay!!

Two things that Community Announcement needs:

1. The right of reply, and

2. A thumbs down option
