Seeing issues with the new Community platform?

Thank you for helping us catch those bugs! While we did work hard to make sure we caught any issues before we released the new changes to the Community, there might be some issues that we didn’t catch. If you find any issues, please post them only here. The Community team will be actively monitoring this post and we’ll work as fast as we can to get them resolved. No need to @ mention us, if you post here.

 

Be sure to include links to the pages, screenshots, which browser you’re using and other relevant information you can share.

 

Update as of 03/05: Thanks for your feedback! I'll be tracking updates here.

What is the point of a makeover if we are still going to be plagued with this sort of thing?

How about a link to get back to "My Ebay" ?

This is a real pain !


Not sure if this has been posted.

 

Not the greatest solution, but for now..........................  once you pop back up to the top, if you click on the colorful ebay logo, it will get you out of the community to then easily access other eBay places.

"Also, I gotta ask, why would anyone want to share a post from the eBay community boards to their social media? This isn’t r/dankmemes. And why is the share button so BIG?"

 

Apparently eBay wants its sellers and buyers to have the ability to share eBay community posts with Amazon. 🎪 😲

 

I smell a $$$ making opportunity here. 🤑

**bleep**! Let me guess, Khoros wants eBay community members to only select pages that start with odd prime numbers?😃

And the fact that there is more white on this page than there is in a 100 pound bag of white rice?


More white space seems to be the new, hip trend...I remember all the same complaints when ebay first introduced the new my ebay & sellers hub.


That's true, but this latest attempt at revisions takes it over the top. There's so much blazingly bright whitespace that I don't need to turn on my room lights at night. The downside is that if I leave my curtains open, it interferes with aircraft landing patterns at O'Hare.

it sure takes a whole lot of scrolling to navigate your way around the new format--my mouse hand is cramping...would be much easier if threads with the most recent activity would get bumped to the top of the forum list like before (if that setting is here, i can't find it) instead of the threads being statically organized by when the threads were started

they can afford to do both formats.

 

My point is that maintaining two separate, interconnected systems has costs.

 

Having an opinion about whether something is "affordable" does not play into it unless you are the one allocating the actual funding.

 

 


Having a single system that results in a vastly inferior interface for computers also has costs.

Just in case it hasn't been reported on this VERY long thread, the flooding error is still happening.  When I cut and paste something it doesn't like it.  And it took several tries to even post a link.

Yes, I have had the same issue, cannot copy & paste without getting the "we have removed (something)...HTML problem and when you try to re-send, it then detects post flooding.

 

I have been lucky...I have not had that problem with posting links...but then...I have not tried that TODAY (yesterday was okay).

When viewing full screen on my 1024 desktop, there is no delineation and the markers on the right are too far away to align with the topic, especially when titles are short.

 

 

Khoros - m2m desktop full screenKhoros - m2m desktop full screen

 

 

When I drag my browser to a narrower width, lines appear between topics and the topics are closer together vertically, so I can see more per page...

I would like this delineation. ↓

Gosh darn, this was a lot of work. If eBay wants us to share posts, they could at least have the decency to add the GIF keyboard...

@community_team   The search function does not work correctly.    If I start a search in the search box at the top of a board I expect it to search that board.    I often need to refer to past posts in the mentor lounge and there is not even a way search this board OR the M2M board.   OR at least give filter option to search these boards, there are none.

I have 2 eBay accounts:  somanypostcards and somanypcs.  Today I first viewed Community -> Selling while logged on as somanypostcards and the profile showed somanypostcards.  A bit later on my other account, somanypcs, I viewed Community -> Selling and the profile incorrectly showed somanypostcards.  The store link took me to the somanypostcards store.  Yet I was logged on to eBay as somanypcs.


I'm now logged on to somanypostcards and the Community -> Selling profile incorrectly shows somanypcs.  The profile "view listings" link takes me to somanypcs listings, yet I am logged on as somanypostcards.

It still keeps logging me off even though I have keep me signed in checked off.

 

So many useful functions lost, so many 'glitches' still not fixed. Can no longer tell which threads have been replied to or by whom and whether you've already read them or not.

 

It's an exciting change alright.
