Reading AuctionBytes: eBay Revamps Discussion Boards

Next week, eBay is upgrading its discussion boards to offer several new features along with a new look. eBay's Discussion Boards have forums on many subjects, from Selling and Buying to Clothing and Collectibles. Hundreds of thousands of members participate in the discussion boards daily.

Highlights of the forthcoming changes include more personalization and layout options and displaying My World profile images; time-saving features ("Hover over a discussion thread title and catch a glimpse of the conversation that's taking place before you decide to click into the thread. We'll also rotate through some discussion board posts at the bottom of certain pages that let you see what people are currently talking about."); and enhanced control, such as sorting discussions by date.

The eBay.com Discussion Boards will be unavailable from 4 p.m. to Midnight PT on February 3, 2009, from approximately 4 p.m. Pacific time to midnight.
