Aside from the fact that your using audacity in the wrong context there, did you ever consider the possibility that the author doesn't have the time to work on this modification, doesn't have an internet connection anymore, is sick, is dealing with family members that are sick, has lost the life of someone close to them or, God forbid, has passed away themselves?

Have a little perspective. This is superfluous piece of code that neither enhances nor diminishes your life by its support or lack thereof. It's free, which means support was never guaranteed and you knew that going in. There are infinite reasons why a modification can be no longer supported and to criticize the author just because you didn't get an update is where the audacity comes in. Modifications come and go, and support is entirely dependent on how much time an individual has to give it. That means it could change at a moments notice, foreknowledge of which you are not entitled to and you get as a courtesy, not as a right.

If the author decides he just doesn't want to do it, he doesn't have to. That's his or her right. And insinuating people are dumb for asking questions is also audacity, since we here at vb.org support each other, which is why some modifications that where abandoned two to three years ago are still active as members work out bugs amongst themselves. I think you should be a little more careful and considerate as to who you call terrible.

Shame this isnt being updated. Our site actually love it.
Only thing we would of like added was a bid history, so we can see the 2nd and 3rd highest bidder. Dont suppose any 1 knows if this is possible anyway?.

Hi,
Ive added vbay to my site, Im running vb3.72. I do not seem to have the code or something to actually process the paypal transactions. When I log in as seller to sell, I clik button for paypal and proceed through the selling posting process. When I buy, it shows item purchased but nothing ever comes on how to to pay for the item. Am I missing a paypal plug in or something? I do not see any payment options admin in my vbadmin.
Thanks,
Tonua

Can some one point me in the direction of how to uninstall with out it crashing my board?

BTW, spend the money and buy vbclassifieds. It has every thing this mod was hoping for plus support

The transaction is seperate from the modification. Basically the "paypal" choice is just a way to say how you are going to pay, it doesn't actually do it.

Hi Blaine.

I have just finished reading all 85 pages (1,266 posts). I Honestly think that you are a great coder and a fantastic Gent.

The amount of posts that have repeated the same questions s unbelievable.

You have been open and honest in everything that you have done and to quote someon:

We all posted requests for certain options for this, let's all kick in $5 when it's complete.

I will be putting more than that in my donation to you when I instal it and all is running smoothly.

I am running 3.6.8 Patch Level 2.

Please Give Blaine a break guys, he has been working hard on this (FREE) mod, combined with work on his paid work, other free mods of his and his college (not sure if he still does college).

I personally, am from the UK and will be using GBP etc. and using the good post code (or zip code as you American guys call it. ) ie: SA11 4GF

Anyway, Respect to you "Blaine" and to you "RobUK" for being prepared to temporarily takeover (as well as offering to work alongside Blaine) while Blaine is busy on his paid work.

Many many Thanks.

I tested this Last Night (and just now), Unforuntately - there were several bugs with it.

On my first test auction it only showed 5 words of my description. (2nd test auction showed it all).

1st auction, I had on a buy it now and auction. I used the buy it now and received an email sometime later sying that I had NOT reached the reserve.

bid incriminents still can only be in whole pounds. (I will have a look back through the threads for the (*).

Postage and start prices can only be in whole ponds too (again, I will look through the threads for the "*").

In fact - I tried the postage at ?4.95 and it showed as ?4. etc

The Payment method symbol does not show (I know that has been mentioned in the thread) it only shows as a white box with a red "X" centered within it.

I am only able to to add one picture, even though it says a maximum of 3. (there is a browse button there that allows only 1 Pic).

(I have entered the HMTL to actually enter a pic manually to the description area - but I can't expect my forum members to do that).

IMPORTANTLY - I set this so that admins and superadmins can use it for test purposes. I signed in as my normal (registered group) ID - And I had the welcome greeting message and was able to register. Why is this please? I have triple checked that my settings are correct - and they are.

On my second test on a BUY IT NOW ONLY - The sale went through. I, as a buyer I received the SELLERS address in an email.

As the seller I received the BUYERS address in an email. (why is the sellers address still going through please? There is no need to send the sellers' address, unless the buyer is paying by Cheque (Or "check", for my American friends).

I think this mod is great and so is Blaine for working so hard on it. Thnak You Blaine. May I trouble you to look into the above bugs Please?

I shall keep you posted.

EDIT: Even people that aren't logged in can view it. :_|

I can't appear to find the post (actually, posts - because there are two or three on here), which explains about the bid incriments.

[Welshy2008]

I still can't find the threads that I need to explain where and what, I add the "*"'s to, to enable smaller incriments for bidding. I also want it to sort out the bug where I enter for example:

starting bid £19.99 (and for it to show as this price and Not £19).

Postage: £4.99 (not show as £4).
