  • Numerous phrase and code entries that indicate a lack of understanding of auction terminology.
  • Support that leaves a lot to be desired. Presumption that you are wrong is the general attitude. When you make your case and a solution is offered, it is curt and not always helpful.
  • Numerous entry items that cannot be changed or even viewed once ad is placed. Number of days ad will run or when it expires for one.
  • A general lack of development since Techimo stopped any development and turned it over to the guy who provides support.
  • An ongoing feud with the vbAdvanced author resulting in a poor compatibility between the vbAdvanced CMS and all Photopost products.
All VERY valid points I believe!

I actually purchased PP almost a year ago, and have yet to install it on my site. I'm just not very impressed with it and not in the mood to do all the work which I know it will require.

Regretfully, I don't see a viable alternative. No one is in a hurry to make add-ons for vB anymore.

As much as I would LOVE to dream about that, I don't think it is realistic at all. vB can't even handle what it has going on currently, and hardly anyone else is building quality add-ons for the suite.

But if ever there is... I'm there!
