suggestions for this mod.

1)If you could send a PM and/or email to the buyer and seller detailed wat was bought/sold, price and terms,

ontact information for both seller and buyer so both can go through and complete the transaction

2) Trader Reputations (which is already on your list)

3)your option in the settings "The name of your Vbay" maybe making the options through the mod have that name too.

Including the copyright down the bottom. so it all looks the part.

I wish i had some clue to how to do any of this

Is there still a problem with PM's in 1.1.7? I have just installed it, should I rather uninstall and use 1.1.6?

Thanks.

THAT WOULD KICK ASS

This would be an awesome feature :up: :up: :up:

Peace.

Sorry... this was meant for angelsbabies who asked just what was answered a few posts ago. It was obvious they didn't read anything. let alone the latest. I try to read the latest posts before asking my question... so I am not redunant! Again, my apoligies...

I sure hope a new release is soon... otherwise, this is not going anywhere on my forum and with the major issues, I am not sure how anyone is using it. I am not trying to complain... I am pointing out that these issues are serious, not just a hinderance.

I installed vBay on my 3.6.8 system. Everything seems to work well until you click "Sell" to try to sell an item.

The URL:

http://www.my_vbulletin_website.com/...ay.php?do=post

...gets you a blank page.

"Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage"

Has anyone seen this before? Solution?

Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure if it's been said, or even if this has it as I am holding out until the new release that Blaine said he was working on, but I was wondering if there is a posting and selling fee like eBay has. eBay's fees are shown here; could something similar be included in this product?

Like maybe have it automatically sent to a specified PayPal account?

I'd like to politely request that a feature be added to be able to restrict access to Vbay by usergroup.

Ok... I think the author needs to take a serious look at the uninstall. I attempted to uninstall this and it hosed my whole database and forums. I tried everything to get it back and no luck. I had to completely reinstall my complete forum. It would NOT let me log on and kept giving me database errors... Please be advised that this program will hose up your database if you uninstall. Yes, I am pissed!

Be warned... It looked to be very promising.. but I couldn't wait for the new version... the current version has too many issues to be useful...

Odd... The uninstall should not create any problems....

Hi Blaine... it messed it up big time. I was going to uninstall and wait for your new release to be working. When I did and after I cleared the cookies, it kept giving me vbay related errors in a database that was not part of my main vbulletin and was part of a classified program I had running. Why? I don't know... but it hosed up both and I couldn't even log on to my forum because it would give the database error and stop there. I lost it all! I can't remember the exact error, but I seen something was missing a vbay table... I was able to type in my admincp link and get into that... but nothing else worked... whatever I done it gave me the database error.

Also... I had the cpmsadvanced program installed... perhaps it was related to that...
