NEW COMMUNITY ANNOUNCEMENT
Summary: In the discussion about eBay's new community platform, members express concerns about the potential negative impact of changes, fearing the loss of important historical posts like Stephen's Schreiner posts. ?6;dream*peddler reflects on challenges from previous restructures, while fabrics24 suggests using the Wayback Machine to preserve content. theshoppingmom2 reassures the community that the existing Schreiner thread is safe and invites members to reach out for help navigating the updates. Some members continue to express skepticism, while others are cautiously monitoring the situation. Key changes are expected between June 11th and 15th.
This was posted on the Schreiner thread, but for those that haven`t seen it there , or haven`t seen over there to the right>>>>
Hate to be a pessimist, but let`s just hope things don`t get screwed up as usual 🙃

·2 months agoUnless I just haven't figured it out yet, I believe this (sub)forum is no longer really in existence. Obviously I was able to find my way back here (and to the Schreiner thread) by going through my own comment history, to the last time I commented here. And from that point, I can open the full discussion feed, see all the discussions that were posted before the switcheroo, and (obviously) still comment on them.
What I don't see is any way for anyone to just get straight to this subforum from the home page.

·2 months agoWell here we go again. We will just have the to wait and see. I am going to have my eye surgery this month, I will try and keep up.

·2 months agoThey almost did us in the last time they restructured the boards, but we had enough people to form this board. I'm not so sure we have enough to do it again. We'll have to wait and see what happens. It would be a true shame if Stephen's Schreiner posts disappeared prior to 2023. His first post was 1-27-2018. I wonder if it can be archived somehow?

·2 months agoI think you guys could probably archive it using the wayback machine! That way you can preserve it for even people off of the platform.
