Well i seemed to have problems installing.. fixed 2 to get it basically to run..

1. the templates were truncated at install... why? because the vbay template for example contains a non-encoded html entity.. the ? sign.. it has to be © if like me you use UTF-8 encoding.. (the template imports only up to that sign..) and as the template is not finished and the database gives you error (but strangely only when it reads the template) .. (nb: it also doesnt like when suddenly single quotes are used in the template.. vbay template - at the end width='100%' instead of width="100%" .. but the issue was definitively the ? sign..)

2. ok.. got it running.. but when i want to add an auction.. it gives me an warning.. saying:

Warning: mysql_insert_id() [function.mysql-insert-id]: A link to the server could not be established in C:\apache\xxxxxx\htdocs\forums\vbay.php on line 408

all other hacks seem to work perfectly.. so I assume its this addon that is causing the problems.. I think it has something to do with database collation.. and php version..
I am using php 5.2x and mysqli module with utf-8 encoding.. (need it for multilanguage support as the site is in 7 languages..)
[EDIT]just seen that mysql_insert_id() has to be changed to mysqli_insert_id() when mysqli is enabled in config.php [/EDIT]
but the idea seems interesting.. i'll wait for the version 2 before install.
