Over the course of this week, we will introduce a new Community Hub, which is the third phase of this long-term project. Some of the important resources and tools that will reside here include: Announcements, the Feedback Forum, Online Forums (discussion & chat boards, eBay Groups, the Answer Centre), and The Safety Centre.

In addition, as part of this launch, our discussion boards will be updated with a few new important features to make them easier to use. The Community hub was developed after extensive research into how buyers and sellers think about and use the eBay site. We hope it becomes one of your first stops on eBay each day by giving you all the resources you need to stay connected and informed – for business and for fun.

We’ll be providing more information about the timing of the changes over the next few days.

Community Hub
Some of the new features within the Community Hub include:

• A summary of the latest eBay Announcements to help you stay informed about what’s going on around eBay.
• A personalised My eBay At-a-Glance section that includes Feedback reminders, and information about your Watched Discussions and Your Groups.
• Easy access to the Feedback Forum, Safety Centre, eBay Explained, and more.

Updated Discussion Boards
As part of an update to the discussion boards, you will be able to:

• Search across all boards for a particular topic.
• Add your favourite discussions to your Watched Discussions list and receive optional update emails when they receive new posts.
• Print discussions threads easily.
• Save a personal signature that will be automatically added to every post you make.
• Find new content in the Information Central column.
• New icons to differentiate pinned and locked threads.
