OK, none of us like it but if you just give up, you're helping to kill the boards off. Keep on posting. Post everywhere, encourage others.

You can't force people into using something they don't like.  As I've made clear on previous posts, I absolutely despise this new layout of the eBay Community Forums and really feel that eBay ought to reinstate the old format, as has been requested by several people who actually use the forums.  However, given that eBay have made it absolutely clear that they won't be reinstating the old format, or even giving people the option to choose to revert back to the old format if they don't like the ruined version of the forums, I've already made my final decision regarding the matter.  As far as I'm concerned, given that eBay won't reinstate the old forums I'd rather see the ruined layout die a slow, dragged-out death rather than using it begrudgingly and misleading eBay into believing that people will grow to like and accept the ruined version of the eBay Community Forums if they stubbornly refuse to acknowledge that the vast majority of the site users absolutely eBay's so-called "improved" version on the eBay Community Forums.
