Another annoyance
Summary: byrd69er expresses frustration over an "UNREAD" pop-up feature on a forum, which appears whenever hovering over posts, contributing little to user experience. They compare it to decisions by another company that often added unnecessary features. fern*wood agrees, mentioning their own disappointment with the feature's lack of functionality and its effect on their forum browsing habits.

That UNREAD pop-up every time you hover over a post, even if only passing your mouse over it as you move down the page.
UNREAD, scroll., UNREAD, scroll, UNREAD UNREAD UNREAD UNREAD
I will begin to UNREAD this forum if this blankety blank continues.
GET RID OF IT!!!
eBay must have hired a bunch of people who once worked AUTODESK. Constantly adding things that provide no value to the sellers "experience", all while ignoring the things that have needed fixing for far too long, or failing to implement suggestions from users.

·1 week agoI don't think I'd mind it so much if it let you mute certain categories. I could not possibly care less about "Ask A Mentor", and I feel like I'm playing whack-a-mole trying to remove the notifications.
I don't want to complain too much because I do appreciate that it highlights unread posts, but man, I instinctively want to destroy that little blue dot that shows up.

·1 week agoI kept clicking on it thinking it would advance me to the next post without looking through ones I'd already read, but disappointed again. I miss picking up where I'd left off so I seldom circle back now.
