Geeze - never thought I was SO dependent on the eBay Boards for entertainment! When I am in the mood for interaction and have no one to interact with, at least I could go on a learning (and laugh) quest on the Antiques Board........ but no boards = NO FUN!
Okay, commence twiddling thumbs counterclockwise ..............

You can stop twiddling now, the boards are back up. The appearance leaves a bit to be desired.
The horror, the horror !

Can you get back on the boards? I haven't seen you. I have looked at the "new" boards ............... its actually part of my job to keep up with user issues, and I have read what the AB boardies have said about the new settings, functionality, etc. But I have just not had the energy or patience to go through the continuous User/Identity verification nonsense I get every time I try to log on, and THEN have to learn an entirely new system. Maybe this weekend I'll get the inspiration............... BUT it is soooooooooooo nice to have the boards back! I was really Jonesing there for a while..... At least I can read (sideline lurker) if not participate! |

Huh? You posted 2 hours ago, I just saw your post, went to log in and and they are still down "for maintenance"? Was this announced anywhere? I'm not sure I care for the cavalier manner in which these new caretakers treat their own product......... I have been checking in sporadically ........ I have been inundated with deadlines and it has not been easy keeping them with my left arm out of commission - it has been numb for 2 weeks and so far no diagnosis............ though they want an (another) MRI - an open MRI this time - and I have to pay cash up front so................ I have had so many x-rays, CAT scans, MRIs etc,. that I should glow in the dark by now! |

Have they done a nerve conduction test yet?
Why can't you get Medicaid? You probably said why but I don't remember.....

Unfortunately there are rather strict "asset requirements" in this state.........and because of a well intentioned ancestor, I am one of a number of beneficiaries of an irrevocable trust fund ....... sort of a private Tontine if you will. We have all tried to break the trust over the years, but the judges have all sided with the managers of the trust and we have been unsuccessful. And the value of "my" share is just a tad over the limit for medicaid and most other plans. The irony of course it that the current annual income per share is just about enough to keep a puppy in chew toys................ |

Mansons, I miss your posts on the Antiques board, but I very much enjoy reading your stories here. Why, thank you! I made a deal with myself - if it wasn't Antiques Related, I wasn't going post it on the AB and annoy anyone with my drivel - if they were interested in they could come here............and be annoyed! But I am still an AB addict - I check in all day and all night ............... says something about my life, huh? |

I'm at work right now so I can't log into the boards, but I have noticed that there have been no new posts for quite some time. MOST unusual for the AB.......... are the boards down? Again? I must say, I had the most boring lunch hour in history ........... had to actually do legitimate research instead of catching up on Antiques Antics..................... |

Yep, they're down.
ebay had a scheduled maintenance in the wee hours of the morning, but "maintenance" has gone on for a bit longer than expected. For several hours, it was impossible to log in at all. (The most recent AB post appears to be a glitch -- one post that sneaked in during the ongoing outage.)
Now, it seems everything is functioning except the forum.
I've also been forced to do legitimate research -- interesting, but a bit dry compared to AB.

Some days, the Kentucky Derby is a "bit dry" compared to AB!!! Of course, when I want real excitement, I drop in on Seller Central or the Feedback Board................... Thank goodness my new "office" has a view of the Chicago skyline..........when I look up from my monitor, I am looking straight at the Sears Tower..........whoops! That should be the Willis Tower........and the new Trump building, and the Hancock and the Aon and so on............... |

Those boards (Seller Central and FB) frighten me. And I don't have a great view out of my office... but I do have a 20 year old cockatiel who is frequently entertaining.  |
