Technical - Please resize your pop-ups!!!!

[blazebird]

I'm unable the list items that require a pop-up.  They are simply too big and I cannot scroll them down to the bottom as per this example:

Using Firefox (and probably other browsers in a similar fashion) you can zoom pages using:
Ctrl + or Ctrl Mousewheel Up to zoom in
Ctrl - or Ctrl Mousewheel Down to zoom out
Ctrl 0 to reset to default zoom
Newer versions of Firefox (newer than my 3.6.24) also allow zooming of text only and creation of zoom icons on the menus.

Another method I outlined here: https://community.ebay.com/t5/Technical-Issues/Select-and-applying-search-refinements-under-FireFox/...

Or you could just remove the warning dialog in similar fashion with one of the methods outlined here:
https://community.ebay.com/t5/Technical-Issues/Cant-get-rid-of-eBay-message-on-my-active-page-screen...

(of course the selectors needed for adblocker rules, stylish rules, webdeveloper CSS method, for your dialog would be different than for removing the dialog in that thread, but techniques are the same. The NukeAnythingEnhanced method doesn't care as it just removes what you point at, and the webdeveloper manual delete method would sort of self correct since you would be inspecting the correct element anyway.)


I am working on a bookmarklet approach for these problems. I had a bit of a eureka moment a couple of hours ago while posting that last reply in the last referenced Seller Hub Active page thread. I toss out addon methods, webdeveloper hacker methods, etc that nobody wants to use, but I realized there is an easier way to perform the temporary removals - a bookmarklet.

(note that the ideal way to have these issues automatically and transparently handled is with an element hiding rule in an adblocker)

Maybe 25 lines of JavaScript encapsulated in a bookmarklet (or bookmark) that requires no addons or technical savvy to use - you would just click on it when one of those dialogs appear, and it would just do the same thing as performing the manual web-developer maneuvers. I can probably even make it cover your issue, the Seller Hub page issue in the other thread, the search page issue in the first referenced thread, etc. Can't make it universal, but could just tack on code for each type of dialog. Trying to work on it today, but getting really sidetracked.

I finally got un-sidetracked, sat down, and created an incredibly simple bookmarklet to handle the "My eBay is getting easier and simpler to use" modal dialog. That bookmarklet can be extended to work for removal of your popup dialog also, but I was not able to get that dialog to appear when I tried a revise or a sell similar (I put keywords like Native American Indian Apache Blanket etc in the title nas changed category thinking that would trigger it but didn't happen).

If you can show me how to get that popup to happen I can fix up the bookmarklet to handle it.

Thank you, but it was an easy fix once I figured it out.  I use Google Chrome as my browser and keep it at 125%, because my old eyes have trouble with small print.  The pop-up is the ebay policy warning you get when you list Native American artifacts.  If you create a listing in one of those categories, you should get it before they let the listing through.  In todays instance it is my listing for a Hopi pottery bowl.

Ok, glad you figured it out.

I was able to get that dialog to come up, but removing it the same simple way as the other dialogs is a bit of a mess (looks like a generic warning containers, and uses page masks that create problems).

Unless someone has scaled their display as you did causing the buttons to be cut off on the screen bottom, or something similar occurs, there is no reason to disappear it that I can see - the buttons work, and user can just click "continue" button to dismiss the warning (and it stays gone once dismissed).


Out of curiosity, was your fix the browser zooming option?
