This hack is missing COMMENTS

It's a forum, you have to allow users to ask public questions about a product. This offer no familiarity to the exisiting forums and thus users will not use much. It saves time and helps Mods track things if comments are allow/added feature.

What a great hack down the drain. PM me when comments are added :up:


Any links to any LARGE sites who use this as is?

Now, VBay home, "Welcome to VBay" is redundant.

Hot auction should be increased to VBay home.

Also missing is the "# of bids" in the items for sale list. This would help users guage which items are most interesting. And possibly a column for views.

Awesome, I will DL this later to test it out

I feel like an idiot but how do I make this so certain groups can't use it. I combed the settings and couldn't find it.

why admin can not delete or edit the current auctions?

[PachiUniverse]

I want to use VBay as sort of like a store as well. However, I have 200+ things to list and the options in the Control Panel are letting me put: "Maximum length of auctions (in days): 1000" but when listing an auction the Maximum amount of days is "99" and I cannot type more than 2 characters in the amount of days box.

Is there a fix for this? It would really be a pain to have to keep re-listing my inventory every 3 months.

Thanks!
