Blain, i hope you know that you made a winner here.

1) Few suggestions, allow for larger pic uploads

2) When the pic is clicked, it shouldn't take up the whole screen

3) When a auctions is deleted it goes into the negative (-3)

I cant remember if i already posted these but there just my thoughts, i love this idea Blain!


Is there a way to have a receipt of the amount "DUE" to the buyer when the auto PM is sent? i think that would be a huge help.

THANKS

hi, thanks for the input
1. Next version will use the vbulletin attachment system, so you can define picture sizes via the admincp.
2. It will also use vbulletins picture viewing system, so it will pop up on the screen or use lightbox if your vbulletin has it.
3. im not sure what you are asking, can you elaborate?

"Is there a way to have a receipt of the amount "DUE" to the buyer when the auto PM is sent? i think that would be a huge help." yes this is happening

Sorry about #3, what i mean is if a user goes to "category section" there is a "-3" under how many auctions are available under that category.

Example:

Name -------------- items

Toys & Hobbies ---- -3

This occurred when i deleted some auctions from this category.

I am using vb 3.8.7 - will your latest version be compatible with 3.8.7 patch level 1?
