How does anyone know who someone is replying to ....?

How does anyone know who someone is replying to now that (it looks to me) they have removed showing the person's ID they are replying to from the posts?  

 

Or is this something that happened to me when I cleared my Temp Int Files/Cache again so I could get my listings back to normal?

They want to depersonalize sellers and buyers. They also want to cut the chit chat posts so the board is just all business. Kudos are "Good for you" and helpfuls are "Less calls to ebay".

Dear God, please help me to be
the person my dog thinks I am.

Do you tend to hear things that only you can hear?

See things that nobody else can see?

Feel like the eyes of the world are upon you?

Feel an uncontrollable desire to become violent?

If so...I might have what you need.

Yes, the PayPal community got redone when the eBay one last got changed. It's kudos there.

I thought that is what Vitameatavegamin was for.  (Hey, I know there are at least some people that know what I'm talking about!)

Re: How does anyone know who someone is replying to ....?

Fix for the missing reply-to and date/time in forum posts broken by the 6/29/17 changes.

Requires Firefox browser with Stylish addon (or similar in Chrome).

 

@-moz-document domain('community.ebay.com') {
/*Fix to restore reply-to and dates hidden on posts by Lithium's 6/29/17 "fixes?"*/
div.lia-post-time-with-author>div.in-reply-to {display:block !important;}
}

"display: block" can be changed to "display:inline" for a different layout/look

 

 

(Unfortunately, element styling like this can NOT be done with AdblockPlus - only element hiding CSS works there)

 

With the Stylish addon installed in Firefox*, create a new style (or add to an exisiting one) and paste the above code into the style. From then on just add new stuff to the style fixup file as needed (or delete or comment out obsolete styles)

 

*I believe the newer versions of Firefox (53+?) no longer support XPI type addons at all so you're out of luck as far as Stylish goes in that case unless Stylish has adapted updated or an alternative exists.

(My ebay forum fixup style rules file has about 1000 lines, and my generic ebay website fixup style rules file about 1500 lines. Both are running experiments I just add to as needed. A lot of the lines are obsolete fixes or changes. But that approach makes it trivial to implement a fix on the fly - just figure out the selector/style combo and add it to the fixup file with a few clicks, preview it, edit as needed, save and go.)

 

This styling can also be implemented in Firefox in javascript using the Greasemonkey addon (with some major changes), or without any addons using the usercontent.css approach with a few changes (no idea what newer Firefox versions are doing as far as usercontent.css goes or if it is even supported any longer)

That's for a different set of symptoms associated with eBay fatigue.

 

Are you tired?

run-down?

listless?

Do you poop out at parties?

Are you unpopular?
