I may be in the minority here, but I vote for snowflakes. They are sooooo cute. And they remind me of skiing and the holiday season.
Afterall, site stability isn't all it is cracked up to be. Too predictable. Not enough challenge. Nothing to chat about here on Auction Watch.
So it's snowflakes for me.
In case you can't get into eBay to see them, they were added across the top of each page today.
So, what's your vote?

Definitely Snowflakes!
I wish they were blinking snowflakes so it would add a more realistic look to them!
I've given up on site stability - pretty graphics are much more important!
I sure hope the THIS FUNCTIONALITY UNAVAILABLE page has lots of snowflakes on it too!

It would be even more realistic if they made them follow your mouse pointer around the screen.

Executive Girl,
You only get to see snowflakes if you've been very, very good this year.

I have to hand it to eBay those Snowflakes are darn cute. Every time I see them they make me smile. I guess it doesn't take much to amuse me. I'm definitely voting for the Snowflakes!

I've been good this year! Honest! I still don't see any snowflakes.... Sniff*
I guess on the bright side - I don't see any charcoal at the top of my pages....

We're being served plenty of cookies too, so we're really rolling ahead on a theme. When you've got a theme going, does anything else really count?
Let's see, what else...? How about... a tune on every page! Yes. How about... oh, this would be a great one... eBay change color on each word on an auction page. Red, blue, green, yellow, red, blue, green, yellow... like strings of lights. Oh, wait, now where is that darn blinker bulb?
Come on, people, let's join in. More ideas! If they won't listen to us on site stability and everything else, maybe they'll listen to us on this!

I personally preferred the Bannanas -- went neato with MONKEY-PORN!
Bah! Humbug!

As a Floridian, I believe we already have enough flakes in this state. I have to vote for site stability.
Plus, I'd have to buy something besides sandals.

ExecutiveGirl...
clear your cache... hit refresh... run outside in your underwear... When you get back in you will see the flakes. (Or at least your neighbors will have seen one...)
Yep, I definately vote for the snowflakes. I;ve given up on stability.

Stable sounds very good, then I'll buy my own flakes, preferably corn--we get plenty of snow in the midwest.

I would prefer bids but that is not the question here....so I choose snowflakes. After all the warm weather we have been having here in Western PA, it may be awhile before I see the real stuff.

...however, it seems that all the snow has affected eBay's ability to use their Announcement Board. No info at all on today's problems. Lots of info on still more new features.
Let it snow, let it snow......

I don't thinks it's Ebays fault or the snowflakes, I think it's the free listing day from auction rover (or somehting like that). Did you read the posts of people entering 200 and 300 auctions? Not fun for those of us who had auctions close tonight.

Come on, people, let's join in. More ideas!
How about Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer on the Announcement Board & everytime Kevin Pursglove makes a statement to the press, we can watch Rudolph's nose GROW.

I definitely vote for SNOWFLAKES (when I first logged on today I thought there was something wrong with my monitor - ROFLOL). I get LOTS more press, subscriptions and hits on the website when ebaY is messing up, no where else for folks to get the real info, soooo..... Rosalinda

The fictitious group SPINAL TAP had a song out about 10 years ago called "Christmas with the Devil" Now I know what they were talking about.
The stable site is for wimps..give me problems and re-lists, and unlaunching and snowflakes!
