Changes to the boards.

[padi*0409]

I think everyone here needs to be aware of what eBay is planning for the boards, and also have a look at what they've done to the US and UK boards.

Poor Tippy      Must be a right pain.

Is this on a mobile, or a real computer? 

I find it easier and faster than the back button.

I think that moving Community Spirit to groups will probably enable Community Spirit to be removed at some later time, maybe when interest in CS diminishes if it is not as easily found as it is now.

All those that like Community Spirit need to post their thoughts, especially if thread locking after 12 months is extended to CS threads.  Goodbye to those threads that have years worth of posts on them.  A new "Blokes thread" would need to be started each year, with old Blokes threads quickly falling off page 1 of listings of CS threads.

Slr, I think the locking of threads will only be if they're not used in 12 months.

A thread that has continual posts will be left alone.

At least that's what I understood.

[k1ooo-slr-sales]

stawks, you are probably right, but how do we know who will be locking threads as it will be done manually

[*tippy*toes*]

Stawks, a laptop. I use the back space key to go back one page and back button if I've just let a message. I click and hold and I can go back to the home screen without having to hit the button multiple times.

My understanding of the thread locking is 12 months inactivity. This is eBay though, so one should never assume anything.

So will we get all the "help" and "interaction" that the US has,

http://community.ebay.com/t5/About-the-Community/About-Community/m-p/26164272

They even have Twitter:

Twitter

• How do I link to my Twitter account?
• What is a Twitter stream?
• How do I tweet from the community?

This old chook is becoming very confused with it all I am afraid.  Took me ages to find my way around when things changed to Lithium as it was.
