Our poor old eBay group is no more

Lol, I think a little nap is called for

I'm over halfway thru the requisite buying spree

Chrissie #18 I've had a look at your link. Does that mean this Proboard Group will have to go sometime or other.

Hope not, but you will have to hold my hand if it does!! MM

[Scylla]

In Chrissie's absence - I think that this forum is safe (as long as they don't crack down on e-cigs), it's just the eBay Group that we probably have to lose altogether, because it won't be transferred to the new eBay format and it's too difficult to copy threads.

Or something - Chrissie will clarify.

You've got to hand it to eBay, though - I've just booted up and logged on with my big laptop, not used for many months*, so I've opened Chrome browser and I'm signed in here and when I click on the eBay forums tab it takes me straight to the new format Technical Issues - well done!

*I recorded the final of The Great British Bake-off but it's all broken up, poor signal. So I went on to my TalkTalk TV to watch it on Catch-up and there's only 14 minutes available ??? So I've booted up this laptop to watch it on iPlayer on a nice screen. But I'm going to be here all night updating programs

MM, sorry if I'm confusing you As Scylla says, this forum should be safe so we wont be going anywhere else. I would just like to keep some sort of e-cig profile on the eBay platform if possible

Aha! I see the light!! Thank you Chrissie. MM

I am utterly distraught so please forgive me for turning this into New Boards Problems.

Tuesday evening I hit the 10-post limit on my *scyllabub* posting ID (as you well know) so yesterday I was philosophical about not being able to post and used my main ID for a query. Today I STILL can't post on posting ID ??? I get "You do not have permission...".

So I logged on with my main ID again but couldn't post or reply to a post cos the headings/links aren't there, then I noticed "Welcome Guest" I've logged in several times and get "you have securely logged in to the Discussion Boards" but am redirected to the Boards headed up Welcome Guest again

So I messaged James (first time ever and I know he's probably extremely busy but didn't know where to turn) - except that on hitting Send I got "Your message was rejected for an unknown reason".

So there you are - I am EXCLUDED well and truly - and you poor dears have to suffer so I can get it off my chest!

I wish Kath was here

Scylla, I think others have said they have had the same problem as you. Of course, many others may have as well - but they can't post on eBay to say so :-(

Someone else also posted on the new generation board that they couldn't send an email to James either. I'm guessing he has been so inundated that he has done something to stop further emails until he can catch up?

More than happy for you & anyone else to use this thread to talk about/ask help with the new eBay community platform.

[Scylla]

Thanks Chrissie - that's very reassuring.

I had a feeling I shouldn't be bothering James and felt guilty at the time, but what else to do when all doors are locked and windows barred?

[Chrissie]

Scylla, I think part of your problem with not being able to post with either of your ids is that they may now be linking your ids?

[Scylla]

I did wonder about that but had posted OK with main ID yesterday so couldn't be sure.

I had a bright idea for buying and checked out CIN listings but have only managed one for sweeties and told them not to send.

What's the name of our animal charity, Chaldon? ??? Can't find them as sellers. Anyone recommend an eBaying charity to buy low-cost stuff from?

I've had problems trying to find anything on the new eBay boards, they're bloody awful! Why oh why do eBay keep trying to fix things that aint broke *Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr* Moan over

[Chrissie]

Dee, to begin with I was glad that eBay where changing the community platform as it was so out of sync compared to every other forum. However, the more I'm using it, the worse mess I finding it to be :-(

Scylla, check out this thread - no answers yet, but you are not alone.
