CONTAINED

Very good Rick but is it what people want on this Forum?

I think Rick is going on a self imposed hiatus. Maybe he'll come back after a little time off.

Yes, we are all overdue for a break here.

In the meantime, this section of the Forum is still open for business as usual. Anybody want to comment on using the new eBay format now that it's been in place for a couple of days?

The new format is nice, though hardly a major diference to me. It is somehwat helpful to see more of the auction details up top, but I still find that one needs to scroll down to find out shipping details (or at least click on the link that shifts the page down). Some sellers have the PayPal link or logo up top, which helps me; others still force you to go down to the bottom to find it (or not). Ditto for item description and picture; I find most unhelpful the thumbnail shot that sometimes appears at the top.

In short, I don't see much difference, unless I am missing something.

I dont like it.

Maybe I'm just an old dog. I dont like change. I keep moving my mouse to the wrong place on the page to click something that isnt there anymore.

I don't care for it, either. Kinda reminds me of the time when the Coca-Cola people decided to scrap Classic Coke. Betcha whoever dreamed up that winner is still looking for a job. Hey, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I take it then, Steve, that you do not subscribe to the theory that Coca Cola deliberately floated the new Coke, just to generate publicity and create a clamoring for the original product?

You take it correctly, Chatter. If that was their intent they certainly went into the tank for a huge bundle of money as well as alienating a lot of customers who switched to Pepsi. Expensive promotion, wot?
