So, the subject's closed, we're stuck with this layout = goodbye discussions!!!!<HR /></BLOCKQUOTE>In other words, that's eBay's way of saying "Look, I'm sick of hearing about this now and I really don't want to listen to anything else in relation to this subject.  Now get lost!"  I suppose that's typical of eBay though - they only respond favourably if you say something that they actually agree with.  Whenever the general consensus of opinion goes heavily against them eBay withdraw from the conversation and close the thread down to in order to prevent further discussion on the topic. In some ways eBay's reaction to the discussion regarding the new forum layout reminds me a bit of a corrupt country where they refuse to accept the public's vote.  Imagine that a general election had just taken place - the opposition had just achieved a landslide victory, yet the party in power (in this case, eBay Management) refused to accept the result and carried on regardless in undemocratic defiance of what the public had actually voted for.  I know that we weren't exactly given a vote on the matter, but we sure as hell made our opinions known, and given the fact that eBay didn't like what they heard they subsequently decided to lock the thread!  In my opinion that's a clear admission by eBay that they've lost the argument and have decided to throw in the towel on the subject, even though they stubbornly refuse to give us what we've asked for and reinstate the old layout that they shouldn't have done away with in the first place.
