Bad/bloated web design
MrMobodies:
Absolutely P*SSED for this happen TWICE just now:
First click: A listing that has ended
Next click: Purchase history
As soon as I narrowed down the elements and trying them out the overlays seem to stop appearing and can't get them to appear again despite clearing the browser cache.

So what I got to do is keep ublock open at all times.
Was going to see something on TV but I spent the time about an hour trying to find these elements and so annoyed now.
Why can't you not use the dimming overlays behind those dialogues, why can't it be on the sides of the page?
No, we have to interrupt you, hurt your eyes and cut you off from contents when we FEEL like it.
I spend years writing feedback against this, I phone ebay up on many occasions but it seems to be getting worse.
I want them to LEAVE my browsing screen area ALONE and not interfere like that.
Feedback:
Thumbs down
--- Quote ---The respect you have with Shoving DIMMING OVERLAYS in your customer's faces
This isn't about the new purchase history, it is about the lack of respect you have for your users by shoving dimming overlay, that hide the scrollbar so pretty much all the screen goes dark and hurts my eyes. Twice this has happened just now. I had been trying to find the script to stop it reappearing. Which assh*le decided this was acceptable. It is SPAMMY BEHAVIOUR that malware creators use to inject in their advert code in the 2010 era and now you are doing it.
Sorry I am angry, I'd like to find the idiot there who ordered this, distract them then flash a bright torch in their eyes repeatedly and see how they like it. I was polite before for years, I phoned up and complained but this practice of ramming dimming overlays in your customers faces is becoming worse. Why not do the dialogue WITHOUT the dimming overlay or put them on the sides?

I have noticed this crap has creeped over from the listings into the search results.

A zoom function would be more useful than accidentally clicking it as I did in the listings where I was accidentally kept on clicking that instead of the zoom.
There maybe hundreds of a variety so I don't understand the use of that.
Found one of the culprits:

MrMobodies:
I had to view Paypal to check if a payment had gone through or not for some batteries but just found it didn't. I believe didn't click the confirmation after paying on the Paypal portal. The 2 factor thing is chaos as well in this poor signal area. Sign in, 2 factor, have to move the phone and go upstairs to get a signal, then as soon as the payment methods appear, 2 factor again and NO SIGNAL this time no matter what I do. Later on I get the 2 factor authentication.
When I saw these appearing again (of course they'd be under different element names from last time) and so many everywhere and the whole thing just slow down on every link I click my anger levels increase. They think am I am stupid and need all these moddle coddly things at the expense of irritating me by seeing what looks like hallucinations in my peripheral vision and slowness via CPU hogging.
Unfortunately unable to find the element for this one despite clearing elements in the names of animations, shimmer, skeletons and placeholders.

Showing just the static placeholder lines instead of those horrid things and seems to work really nice now and quicker page load despite that animated one I couldn't find the name for which sometimes shows on the messages.
It seems to me they design a website with the intent of making it usable and then sh*t all over it with this stuff above.
Just noticed this stupid dimming overlay on the home page that flashes the screen rapidly as I move the mouse over the menu's:

Seems they don't think of people with live sensitivity or epilepsy. Not sure if it could cause an epilepsic fit but with how excessive these things seem to get with the animations and sudden flashing (sudden dimming then back to light) it woudn't surprise me.
Analog Kid:
Hey, "MrMobodies", let me ask you something if you don't mind:
Since your annoyance threshold level for things computer-related seems to be set super-low, let me ask you about something about this very web site that I find annoying too, though not annoying enough to actually do anything about it.
I'm referring to the line of links near the top of the page: Home Help Search Profile About us ... etc., etc.
Now I'm always finding those getting in the way as I cursor around the page, since if you hit any of those links you get an unasked-for pop-down menu, even without clicking on any of them. Like Profile, which for some stupid reason I'm always running into: the menu pops down with
o Summary
o Account Settings
o Forum Profile
o Mentions
so I have to swerve my mouse pointer around it to make the damn thing go away.
BTW, this is nothing that Dave has control over: this behavior is baked into the Simple Machines code. I'm on another forum that uses the same "engine" and it does the same thing.
Not the way I would have designed things. But then they never asked me.
MrMobodies:
I see what you mean
Yes I notice that sometimes as I hover the mouse over them where the menu's swing out but manage to avoid clicking anything on them to cause irritation as I just click elsewhere in area where I know it'd collapse the open menu.

In my browser moving the mouse over the button opens the menu, but when the mouse leaves the menu area it collapses. No need to click anything. Running Waterfox G5.
