So what, DO & DON'T you like about the new forum layout?

#1 dislike is that each message seems to use up way more screen real estate than it used to. That might be OK if you're using a scrolling mouse and have a fast internet connection, but on a notebook computer with only a touchpad, and maybe a slower connection, having to navigate to a higher number of pages to read a thread will be a little annoying.

The colors are sleek and to my eyes trendy but I was just getting used to eBid's unique blackcurrant and lime. It's good to stand out from the crowd.

Didn't often purchase because of closing listings to the left, but they did take me into browsing at the seller's other offerings, which if everybody else went there also, would be good for business.

Not to be a complaining luddite. I appreciate a lot of work must have gone into this upgrade and trust it will work seamlessly.

I don't like it !

It looks plain and boring (I liked the ebid colours which were the same as the ebid auction site)

I don't like the lack of a back to ebid button

(I was not concerned about the security issue)

Nobody is ever concerned about a security issue, until it become a problem to them.

As has been requested so many times, da Boyz have opened eBid up to BUYERS from all countries now, that means that people will be able to join from places that have previously been blocked, so it makes sense to do their best to prevent any security problems.

Surely that's only because you didn't know about it? It doesn't mean you weren't at risk and they're not right to act quickly to solve the problem. Data security and your financial safety are far more important than trivial style issues. I, for one, certainly wouldn't want to buy from anybody who didn't believe that. Remember your potential buyers can potentially read everything you say here, and may be concerned about a casual approach to *their* financial information.

ok..been and looked..i like it..willtake a bit of getting used to,, but i like it

[Spyder1942]

Like it and will like it better when we get a back to ebid button.

[TiasTreasures]

No problems navigating, but I would like to have a direct link back to My eBid and I did like snooping in the closing auctions.

meanwhile i click on my own post link to take me back to my ebid

[Bonitatrader]

I didn't know where I was. It will take some getting use to.
I don't like the Ebid button missing.
How how do you click on for help-- I guess that's with the ebid button stuff.

I have to agree that the smiies aren't so cute anymore.

I'm new and I was just getting use to the old forum layout.
