Clarity and functionality: improvements needed.

[rekall88]

Hello,
I signed on to ebid as a lifetime member because I immediately liked the ease of listing - clear and simple and like many others was fed-up with ebay even though I was doing ok there and had 100% positive feedback - liked the ability to transfer feedback numbers to ebid.
Now that I have been selling here awhile I see a couple of issues that can be improved.
1. I find the the vacation {holiday} settings somewhat unclear - most other sites when your listings are on vacation there is a note on your home page telling you your listing are on vacation - the ebid thing with notices is somewhat less clear and direct.
2. I had a lot trouble attempting to post on this forum - there is no direct link to post a new thread {if so I can't find it}
unless you first click on to other posts first - please let me know if I am missing something.

If you click into the forum you want to post to, there's a large blue button at the top with a plus sign and "post new topic" written on it - that starts a new thread.
